What a day for us all! Regardless of your political views, today seemed to have a quality that should be with us everyday.Belief in something beyond us, inspiration from world leaders, to cherish your family and friends and the things you do have, togetherness for common ideals and purpose.
These are the things we need to recognize and covet. Today is a new day. Start over and renew your vows, renew an old friendship or let go of your anger.
Set your goals a bit higher, finish that bachelor's or master's degree, or just get back to your roots. Whatever it is, "now is the time".
What are you waiting for, really? Ask that question and really work through your anxieties, apprehensions and obstacles that are keeping you from going the extra mile.
Be the change that you wish to see, as Gandhi said.
Love,
Jen

Okay I am thinking. Yesterday was a magicial day - regardless of your party of choice. It was great to watch. Let's hope for swift change soon...
Love ya and am thinking of you each day.... Shannon
Change is here and we will start to see wounds heal, smiling faces, and bigger hearts. It will take time but it will come. It's hard to imagine how our political and economical change will effect someone in poverty, injured or dying kids caught in the crossfires of war, a widow/er, etc. The list could run forever. I think the "change" we all speak of will help everyone in every situation. Our economy and the world as a whole is upside down and dizzy, but people who care about well being, not motivated by their own personal gain, will be a major key. I can't help but think about how many hungry people there are across the world, the people that would do anything to be able to read and write, or the child who wishes he could see. These are the people that need "us" and with the change currently taking place, they hopefully will get the chance to experience what they never thought possible.
Hello Jennifer,
Sorry to be off topic from your most recent blog entry, but you are such an inspiration! You have no idea how much hope you have given me through your story. I heard about you today through a local amputee support group in the Dallas area. My mother, Delia King, recently survived Meningococcemia (her body also went into sepsis) and recently has had both her legs amputated at her calves and lost 8 of her fingers; she was able to keep both thumbs. She is still in ICU but making improvements daily.
I created a blog for her at www.deliaking.org - I'm sure your time is precious but if you have any words of advice or encouragement they would truly mean the world to me.
Thank You,
Karen
