The announcement that Barack Obama won took my breath away. 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.

Wow, you called it Jen with your title “Hope Making”. Did you see Oprah’s t-shirt on her Nov. 5 show? It said “HOPE WON!”

Indeed it did! And just in time.

@Cindy I tried to post at your site but I’m a hopeless tweeb so here is my comment for you!

Thanks for sharing your fear, it helps us all to read about our struggles and the small ways we take to move forward… small steps, yes!!! Love your beautiful inspiring work and I will think of you today as I work with / dance with my own fear.

I’m thrilled beyond measure, whatever that means, and exhausted. 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.
