A Day for Change

"Now as we face the fact of this new, emerging world, we must face the responsibilities that come along with it. A new age brings with it new challenges...This world is a world of geographical togetherness. This means that no individual or nation can live alone. We must all learn to live together, or we will be forced to die together." ~Martin Luther King Jr.

In light of the new President of the United States, perhaps it is a day to reflect on the potential for change--a change for the better. To look into our own lives, homes, and communities to see the cracks that need repaired and mended. It is a time to unite and "learn to live together." to take responsibibility for the choices we make--good or bad.

Below is the 44th President, Barrack Obama's, presidential acceptance speech. Eloquently written and delivered Barrack Obama has stirred in my heart the need to change--for the better--to make the world a better place...A world were together we face the challenges place before us and learn to live together.



"Yes WE can. Yes WE did. Yes WE will...welcome to the future." ~Mason Isom

Nicely written and well said Riah! I'm hopeful for a better future.......... Obam seems to illuminate that hope in us.
