Inauguration Day!

Congratulations America! We finally got it right. As I watched President Obama be sworn in, my eyes filled with tears, my heart filled with joy, my spirit filled with hope, and my soul sang another chorus of freedom. I could hardly believe what I was seeing. This regal African American Man taking a solemn stand to lead this wayward country through its trials and tribulations was almost too much. Almost!

I say almost because I remember the day before he was sworn in, he was performing community service, I say almost because he wrote the most beautiful letter to his equally beautiful daughters that moved me beyond compassion and toward shear marvel. I say almost because he always defers to the American people as the answer and never glorifies himself. So I’ll stop saying almost and say finally.

Finally our children have a phenomenal man to look toward for the true measure of manhood; a Family Man, an African American Man and now a Presidential Man. To this I say Thank you and God Bless. My heart is with you, Michelle, Malia and Sasha.
