A Canadian friend referred to the 2009 U.S. Presidential Inauguration as the Woodstock of our generation. I get that. An event that we will love to discuss and be supremely pleased that we were a part of. I have had the opportunity to feel the excitement, feel the possibility. I have talked to folks who traveled to DC from across the country for those same experiences. I am one fortunate chick.
I have carefully chosen how I live my life. I am dedicated to making the most of my days while also trying to make the world a better place. Due to the election of Barack Obama, I believe my do-gooder efforts will have a greater impact. I also wonder how my "fight the good fight" efforts will change. With an administration willing to listen and discuss issues, how will we change the way we advocate and work toward equality and justice?
During his inauguration speech, Barack Obama stated that we are a country created by do-ers and risk takers. He stated we would need to be so again. I accept his challenge.
