Today is an amazing day.
A huge shift occurred today with the Inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States. 
I am filled with love, hope and gratitude. I am so proud to be a witness to this uplifting change.
For so many days and years it has felt like we were mired in darkness. Seeing glimpses of hope, but the light was so fleeting. It seemed no matter how much I tried to bring light and love to those around me there was a pervasive heaviness to everything. Today I saw hope, I saw light reflecting off the faces of everyone I know and felt the promise that we can all rise to the call of sacrifice, for the good of all that President Obama has asked of us. There may be times that are hard, there will be times that are hard. For our lives to be filled with light we have to walk a road that is not always the easy path. I feel that is part of his call, make choices, move in to the light no matter how hard that choice is. When we come out into the light we bring love, hope, and light to each other.
I felt it too.
In my circle of friends we have talked of this shift for quite some time. It’s amazing to watch it unfold.
