At a real estate convention many years ago I heard Lee Greenwood sing his famous song – ‘God Bless The U.S.A‘.  Today, I am hearing that song ring true in my head as we now have crossed the divide and are all on the same page. Today, I’m proud to be an American.  Whether you voted for Mr. Obama or not, you have to feel the power, the intensity, the strong sense of hope and patriotism as we see our new President take office.

I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be a Black American.  As a little girl growing up in Pennsylvania, my mother and I took the bus to my music lessons.  On those bus rides, I remember the Blacks having to sit in the back of the bus.  That is a memory I have never forgotten because I didn’t understand why they had to sit in the back.

Today, however, we all share in this great historical event unfolding before our eyes.  There must be music in heaven today as all who came before Barack Obama are jubilantly dancing on clouds in celebration.

Congratulations Mr. President and to America for finally getting it right.
