“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time” - Maya Angelou
My heart is broken today. It aches and weeps and finds no solace in "told you so's." But there is light.
This week Georgia elected two new senators: Rev. Warnock-our first black senator-and Jon Ossoff, the Jewish son of an immigrant (who is also only 33!)
And on January 20th, Joe Biden, a Catholic public servant will be sworn in as the President. Standing by his side will be Kamala Harris, not just the first female VP, but also the first POC to ever hold that position.
That's hope. Not that everything will change and get better over night, but that we are in fact making progress, even when it's difficult. Even when days are dark.
*Just as a reminder, this is my page. Any comments promoting "what about-isms", conspiracies, or hate (plus any comments telling me how "I can make $500 sitting on my couch!") will be promptly deleted.
