Hail to The Chief

I haven't been able to post in a while, but I did want to take some time to recognize the historic event that happened on Tuesday Jan 20. The 44th president of our United States of America was sworn in. How awesome is that! Of course I don't know the Obamas personally, but it just feels so personal for me. Regardless of what other people may think this is a HUGE accomplishment for all people of color. Of course my mother and father told me that I could be whatever I wanted if I put my mind to it, but it feels wonderful to actually see someone of color attain the highest position in the land! It's wonderful to look at the first lady and to see someone like me! She looks like me and like my sisters and like my daughters. I'm sorry if you can not understand this, but it is too awesome! I pray now that God will bless his presidency and keep him safe from all hurt harm and danger


Love that new "first family"!


On a similar note... I saw the "first dance"... the one where Beyonce sang 'At Last'. That was an awesome performance. I know it is gonna sound corny, (Shyra) but it was symbolic and powerful to me! I can just feel the love that those two have for one another. What an awesome time for our country.
