We Were One
When the events of 9/11 unfolded, the entire world grieved for us. There was a world-wide sorrow.
It is my hope that with Barack Obama in the White House, we can, once again, be one; not through tragedy, but through hope and healing.

Pretty Bird Woman House
With winter approaching rapidly, much is needed at Pretty Bird Woman House.
Your donation of funds this season will be much appreciated.
The donations for the furnace exceeded expectations, but there are so many other items that can be purchased.
Please donate money today.
Peace.

Hate And Fear
Despite the hope that Barack Obama brings, there are individuals in our country who are so ignorant, so racist, and so filled with hate, it's difficult to wrap one's brain around how bad it is in some places.

The Hope That Is Barack Obama
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
The above quotation rang loud and clear as President-Elect Obama addressed Grant Park Tuesday night. As I've stated previously, it wasn't even close. America made a change this week, one that has been a long time coming. The majority of us saw that the policies of the past eight years have not only hurt us, they've damaged us as a country: here and abroad.
The repair is on its way.
Keeping in mind how long it took to do such damage will allow us to be patient with this administration and ourselves--the hurt did not create itself overnight. Patience, but pushing forward.
As our new president's cabinet comes together, let us not forget to continue to support and do our part where we are in our world. Working together is the best solution. Do what you can, with what you have where you are.
Stay conscious! This blog was created several years ago for that very purpose: to remind us that despite how hard and tough our individual lives can become, we must continue to learn about our world and educate ourselves and our children about the issues. If something doesn't seem right, question it! Ask those tough questions! This is your world, your life, your moment.
This administration will be expecting us to step up to the plate and get our stick into the game. We may not hit a home run on the first pitch, but I believe we are smart enough and conscious enough to avoid hitting into a double-play.
Be inspired. Be the hope Obama brings.
Peace.
