When I watched Obama's acceptance speech on Tuesday night, I was reminded of two great men (and orators) from our history - Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. We can now all truly be proud that the United States is a country based on a grand idea! I am grateful to the world for their well wishes for our country and the hope that it can someday be great again. I am still pinching myself!!

I am so proud that we spoke up for change. We can now truly say to any child "You can be anything you want to be when you grow up....even President". Hope is a wonderful thing!

I need to put a post up on my blog, but I'm still reeling a bit about it. As someone who voted for President-Elect Obama yesterday afternoon, the historic nature of this event is not lost on me. It's a remarkable time to be alive. I just hope that all the positive energy continues to be sent his way, as well as the way of the Houses of Congress. Change needs to happen and quickly. OK. I'm done on my soapbox. By the way, I made some fantastic light coconut milk based ice cream recently, sweetened with agave nectar. Super easy, very rich and lovely stuff. Thanks for speaking up.
