We Are One ~ Yes We Can!

I am in awe of the entire inauguration. My hope is that parents use this as an opportunity to open up meaningful communication with their kids and will focus on the underlying message of love and faith that was so clearly demonstrated throughout each speech, song and prayer. My greatest concern and greatest hope for our nation is in the hands of the young women of our country. It astounds me that during the inauguration I still received emails from teen girls who are struggling with inner conflict. Until we help these young women to heal, there is no possible way for them to espouse what is to me the greatest quote of today’s proceedings, “love your neighbor as you love yourself.” I watched part of it through CNN and Facebook and am astounded by this new technology which allowed me to be part of something bigger than just me at my computer. But then I switched to the TV and sat there weeping and applauding and a few times jumped up and gave a standing ovation. God bless America – Indeed!! What an amazing moment in history. I’m so thankful to be a part of it all.
