I have been remiss. I admit it.

But I was so so so excited about us winning. That I didn’t post on the important day or after.

But now I am. And yes we did. And I want those that took the time to stop by, thank you very much. Each of you were instrumental in making change happen for our country and our lives.

Blessings, April

So much activity. Both candidates are out on the trail today…a long day’s trail, mind you. I read that Obama will visit FL, NC and VA while McCain will be TN, VA, NC, PA, NM & AZ. Whew! I know when it’s bedtime, I wish them both a deep sleep. Even though I know it won’t be. They’ll probably won’t sleep well for another 48 hours.

If I were a candidate what would I do? Take just a few minutes here and there, whenever I had the moment to just breathe. Slowly. Focusing just on my breath, nothing else. Even they did so for 2-3 minutes, they would find a little more peace, a little more stability, a little more rested during this frenetic time.

Hmmm…that sounds good. Think I’ll take a minute (or two) myself. Been reading a few—not too positve–blog posts recently… I could use a little peace right now.

Next Tuesday, I plan on driving across town to my folks place and watching the election. Even though I don’t have cable, I’ve gotten along well enough with my online resources: CNN streaming video, Huffington Post, Salon, and TPMtv on YouTube. But next Tuesday…that just won’t do. This is a time for being with my family gathered around the television, all holding tight to the vision, to the belief, to the knowledge that “The One” will become president.

If you ever seen “The Matrix”, you’ll remember the Nebuchadnezzar. This was the ship that held “the family” together. Through thick. Through thin.  More or less, they all believed in The One. With a shared vision and shared dedication, they wanted to help make it happen.

So, next Tuesday, I encourage you to find your own  Nebuchadnezzar. It’s the only place to be.

He took a 767 to Hawaii today. His grandmother, Toot, is gravely ill. I understand stopping everything for someone who means the world to you.

I wish I had been able to see, hug and kiss my grandmother before she passed.

I would stop the world if I could be with her one more time.

Found this article and video on the Huffington Post. Beautiful piece. Many lessons to learn.  But I will let you glean them for yourself.

Colin Powell reminds me of grandfather. One that you can go to at any time and who will always offer sage advice. Someone who will take his time, no rushing. And speak his truth. The truth of the matter.

That’s what I felt like watching, “Meet The Press” today. I didn’t expect to be so moved. In fact, I started off being a little, teeny bit perturbed that this endorsement was coming so late in the campaign. I thought he was being ubersafe.

But he presented a clear perspective and validation for choosing to endorse Obama. A sincere, balanced, and fair was what he presented. See for yourself:
