We are living up to our forefather's foundation, "all men are created equal." With Senator Obama's nomination as the United States of America's 44th President, there is a hope for us to become just that, equal.
“there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe." ~Paulo Coehlo, The Alchemist ~~~~~~~~~ All thoughts are my own. I am not a doctor or therapist. I simply write what I observe. I also change my mind from time to time because I'm human.

Making History
On August 28th, 1963 Martin Luther King made his historic "I Have a Dream Speech," five years later on March 29th, 1968, King was assassinated for his dream. Forty years later, racism still lingers in our country, but today Americans voted for a change. That change comes from an African American. Not only will our country hopefully move in a different direction, but we have made history. We have made a definite leap into fulfilling the dream that one day all men (and women) are INDEED created equal.
