The room was silent and then it exploded in shared love, hope and optimism. I got so excited that I could not go to sleep. The next morning, I jumped out of bed, grinning from ear to ear and so greatful to realize that our intentions had been answered. My sobering reality is that we all need to help - no one can do this repair alone and I am so excited to be part of this transformation. As of now, I don't know what my contribution will be but whatever it is, it will be done with heart, passion and soul. The announcement that Barack Obama won took my breath away.

Did you see Oprah's t-shirt on her Nov. 5 show? It said "HOPE WON!" Indeed it did! And just in time. Wow, you called it Jen with your title “Hope Making”.

So many tears last night, so much relief this morning, and the slow shouldering of the work to be done. As someone who provides hope (thanks Barbara!!) I want to do my part. I kept thinking last night, "He is great. We can all be great." That is what a good leader does, inspire greatness. I’m thrilled beyond measure, whatever that means, and exhausted.

Thank you, Jennifer, for continuing to remind us of hope and to hold it out as a banner for us.
