I made a very large, very colorful collage recently. I decided I wanted to name it. But I could NOT come up with a name, as hard as I tried. So, I stopped trying for a bit.
This week as the election happened, the results started coming in, I got more and more optimistic about a return to leaders we can be proud of….my brain also started circling in on a name.
Today, when the results were called, I finally had it:
Kamala wins (and Joe, too)!
This election doesn’t solve all our problems, but it sure is good news. Four years ago, when my international friends checked in, feeling compelled to share their disappointment with their personal connection to the US, I felt shameful. Today, they checked in again with congratulations and while I can’t quite express pride in the situation, I certainly feel hope.
