I woke up this morning realizing that major changes are coming to my country and to the world. We are all super connected now. What affects one will affect another. We are a global community. The choice is ours to build from where we are. There are people that are afraid to move forward in our…
Today is a day that will go down in history no matter what happens. We may elect the first woman president in U.S. history. We may not. We shall see where the votes are cast tonight. The world is definitely watching this election closely! No matter what affiliation you have, I hope you get out…
