Regardless of which side you are one, or how you cast your vote. The Presidential election this year was nothing short of amazing. The momentum at which both candidates ran their races was frenetic. I am proud that this election brought out the largest turnout of voters in history. That so many Americans came together to make their voices heard. Change is coming. Many believe for the better, others of you fear for the worst. The only thing that is certain is, it is coming. I embrace the trials that lie ahead. I believe that although many of us will face difficulties, surviving them, and coming out stronger on the other end will make us a better people. Fortitude is a wonderful character trait. Our country has some reckoning to do. Many of our past decisions have not been wise. I think it is going to be difficult, change always is. We have the opportunity to learn from the past and build a future that we are proud to leave our children.
I took a moment this morning to listen to Obama's speech last night from Chicago. It was amazing. So hope filled and yet humble. Inspiring!! I hope all of you will take a moment to listen to excerpts of what I think was the best Presidential acceptance speech I have heard in my lifetime.

Very well said Jen. I cried when I watched Obama's acceptance speech last night. I was just overcome with the emotions of how far we have come as a country. I was proud that so many people voted and made their voices heard. I was excited to be able to witness such a big part of history in the making. God Bless The USA!!!
