This is a moment in time....when as if all the stars lined up in a brilliant pattern.... when as if all the trees swayed in the same direction, against the wind...when as if invisible divine energies took visible form. I am in awe...a quiet, secure calm... I feel a peacefulness and happiness that has roots; the ability to move with a bounce in my step, despite the challenging issues that lie ahead!!! Last night humankind took a quantum leap in consciousness....ushering in a compassionate, collaborative, community inspired era.

I have deep gratitude to all the people who made this real...to those who tirelessly gave of themselves and their energies. Amy, Chelsea, Todd, Anne, Ellen, JoAnn Rose, Mary Jo, Lily, Zoe, Jeremy....This election....in no uncertain terms, demonstrated the power of the people to make the impossible, possible.

The people elected men whose lives represent all that is right about America! Diversity, Courage, Perseverance, Empathy, Wisdom, Freedom, Independence and Tolerance.

Barack Obama has open the doors of Change & Hope for us to walk through, but more importantly He has given us a reason to "Believe" ---
