I can’t wait for this cover to be a reality. Tonight was just amazing. One of the best statements wasn’t even from Obama but one of the speakers in the beginning… Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Isn’t it time for CHANGE ?
I feel so rejuvinated and inspired. Last night I sat and I watched history. I watched the start of a Democratic convention where a BLACK man. A black man is nominated to be president. That is something to be inspired about.
Then I watched Jesse Jackson Jr come out and wow the crowd with such an amazing speech (that had me looking like wow your dad is who?!?). Then Ted Kennedy. It started with that montage and then he came out like cancer?!? F cancer I’m on a mission. I wanted him to stop yelling (I was on IM with my friend like oh gawd don’t let him pass out from it) but I could tell he was just so excited about what was happening.
The video from Michelle Obama’s mom. Amazing. Simply amazing. She captured the pride of parent and explained how no matter whata your circumstance you can still rise to be someone excellent and marry someone excellent (I know that’s coming for me too lol). I just started crying with that video. Then Michelle who looked GORGEOUS from head to toe came out and she just shined.. She talked about real life and her love for her husband and family and how they both came from backgrounds where they had no option but to rise to the top. She had some quotes that I had to write in my journal because they were simply the truth. She really had me sitting on my seat saying I can’t wait to tell my children that mommy and America “listened to our hopes, instead of our fears. How this time, we decided to stop doubting and to start dreaming.” She really just touched me because she was real. She is the example among many women of the mom I want to be one day and the wife I want to be. I definitely believe she can have her moments where she wants to curse a brother out. But they love and support each other and that made the reality that he is going to me MY president and actually care about ME all the more real. Then my girl Sasha came out and stole the show. It made me happy that America could see a real family and a BLACK family that is an example of the American dream. I really feel rejuvinated and simply inspired by it all.
