Bill Clinton at the Democratic Convention

Bill Clinton said something important and memorable tonight. From the beginning of Barack's candidacy I felt the same way, but couldn't express it as eloquently:

"Barack Obama knows that America cannot be strong abroad unless we are strong at home. People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power."

-- Bill Clinton
August 27, 2008

That's the America that I want to return to -- a country where individuals have opportunities to succeed and improve their lives by working hard, improving their skills, and contributing to society. An America in which innovation and creativity are encouraged and supported by government, education, and industry. A country that inspires the world by the example it sets.

Moving on

I no longer tell a negative story about myself. I turn within and I feel the sweetness of Spirit upon me. I rest in the sweetness of my life and give thanks for all of my blessings.

Today I release the emotional weight of my yesterdays and focus on the truth of my being. I joyously welcome the new peace, the new abundance, and the new love that is manifest as my life today.

Ukraine

Peter describes it aptly as a god forsaken hell hole. Rachel is surviving -- not always happily -- but clearly is growing, demonstrates courage regularly, and truly is making a difference.
