First off, I want to thank EVERYONE who has given me support through what has been one of the most difficult points of my life.  There have been some road bumps with people’s opinions, but I’m happy to say for the most part people have offered me their love and support.  I don’t think any of you can really comprehend just how much that has meant to me.  Whether that was an email, call, message, or a comment right here on my blog… they were all read and kept dear to me.  So I just wanted to tell you all that yes, it really has meant that much to me.  Lots of impact on my life (for the better).

Second, I want to ask you to support someone else.  That person would be Barack Obama.  He is offering us a chance to get away from what has failed us and offers a brand new alternative.  This is the person that is challenging the stereotypes of our country.  This is the face of the new America, a bright future for a country full of potential.  I’m not sure if he can stop the recession, I don’t know if he can rectify what has been done in the Middle East.  But I do know that it’s not guaranteed with anyone else either and his plans seem sound.  It’s just this new vision that I think would be extremely healthy for our country.  Sometimes change comes as a forced garment that bulges in all the wrong places and would rip if you bent over.  Sometimes though, change is that thing that you’ve just got to grab when the moment comes.  And if you’d like me to finish the clothing metaphor, it’s that outfit that you’ve been lusting over for MONTHS suddenly on sale.  You just have to buy it and you know it’s going to look good.

Feb. 5.  Support Barack Obama.  For America.
