A Monumental Day



I voted today, with my husband, and my daughter. We all went to the polls together, and all three got "I Voted" or "YA' Vote" stickers ( they loved that I brought Delilah so they gave her one). I am proud that I helped to make such a grand decision happen today. A decision that will inevitably change the course of history, paving way for a new type of political ideas. I am excited that my new President, my Commander and Chief is now Barack Obama. I cried tonight, out of joy and felt a true sense of pride for my country, and for me as an American Citizen. I want my daughter to live in an America where anything can happen, where there are true equal rights and equal care for all. And it is happening.

I have also added a photo of my vision board. I love it. It focuses me. I love it. And we are planning to start a family board as well. I am doing this because Delilah is teaching me everyday to find a greater picture than myself. A dream that I can achieve that will continue on larger than my life, and I want my family to do the same. I want to show Delilah about love of country, a love of community and a love of family. A board of a family creation will help us put our goals in front of us, allowing us to address these daily, reminding us that there is a greater cause than ourselves.

That is all for today, I am proud, and proud for my daughter and her generation, a generation of true change and hope.
