What an election!!!

I have such a feeling of pride. What incredible barriers have been crushed during this election season.

I began supporting Hillary Clinton. I thought she would make an incredible president. She cracked that nasty glass ceiling. When she lost to Barack Obama, I was a bit sad but I am a Democrat first. So, I learned about him and supported him. He SHATTERED the minority barrier.

I worked hard on his campaign. I spent a week (volunteered) at the Democratic National Convention. I was an Election Judge during the primary and an Election Judge Supervisor during the election. I, like so many others, was consumed with this election. Not only did I need change, but I believed in this so much more than ever.

I lived abroad when Bush was in office and felt the uneasiness of the world. I, too, had some discrimination due to the color of my skin in my life. I, too, am a woman who believes that a woman can do WHATEVER a man can and sometimes even better. I needed change!

Well, we got it. What is the most amazing about all this is the incredible results. The Country needed change. The Country is moving in the right direction. We, most of us, can put aside the things that have wrongly been in our lives.

I work with Immigrants. I tell them welcome and we are glad they are here. This is a country of immigrants. That is what makes us so great. We have a governor in California who is an Immigrant. We have a President who is of color. We have a woman who ran for that office and got darn close. Don't we live in an amazing country??? Don't we have what everyone else wants?

I've always been proud to be American, but I truly am proud of my country now.
