Hope

Here I find myself in an utter state of joyfulness and hope which has enveloped our nation. I haven't been so proud to be an American than today. It is a time for not only a national change but personal changes.

I am not a big fan of making resolutions and promises, but this momentous historic event has stirred something deep inside me. I no longer want to live on the side lines of my life. For far too long have I allowed my life to run on auto-pilot. It's time I take the wheel and drive my own life to the destination I want, not one to which I am blindly driven.

It is my hope that we all find the courage inside ourselves to make a change in our lives, communities and in our families, to become closer, to love as a child, without cause and a blindness to the color of each individual.

May God bless each nation of the world.
