President-Elect, Barack Obama!

"Will we unite?
Are we ready to begin a new chapter in America?"














A resounding YES to both questions.

At this moment in the history of our planet, hands are outstretched like never before.

YES WE CAN!

This is a new era. Our elected president will lead us, along side the rest of the world leaders, as ONE for ALL.

This is my belief.

I am filled with pride.

Never have I understood patriotism before this moment. Barack Obama is the American Dream realized and we are fortunate to not only bare witness, not just to reap the benefits, but to taste the sweetness of our hard work realized!

Hope. I have hope for our future.

To be apart of these amazing steps forward for all humanity...my emotion has tempered my words. I am speechless, filled with love and gratitude. I have no language for the depth of feelings swirling in my chest. Joy. I am joy incarnate!

I was born into cynicism, into the post Vietnam mentality, into mistrust, into hatred, into doubt, into America=white men, into the glass ceiling, into the dumbing down, consumer culture, into "1 person doesn't make a difference", into racism and divisive media. I was told I could be anything and then promptly shown the door...barred shut. We have been duped, was the resounding consensus.

My faith in humankind is restored. My parent's faith has been restored. I am rejecting the myth of apathy of the masses! This is our victory. Yes we can.


Change can happen! Brick by brick. Block by block.
