Conversations:

A friend and I have been writers all of our lives, and have become e-mail pals over the past 6 months. We discuss everything from politics to education, family history, our own memories, and concerns for the future. Our children, and her grandchildren are most important in our lives and we wish them all of the best. With than in mind, we have agreed that I may post our conversations for the rest of you to read. Feel free to comment, get in the conversation and express your views.

Coming to Terms

I have had to recover from the fear and resulting anger over the outcome of our presidential election. I truly believe the presidency was purchased by foreigners, financiers, and race-based organizations. Having been said, Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States, so he is my President, too. I hope he will make wise choices, and not allow himself to be beholden to those who bought the office for him.

Coming to terms with this outcome is taking Herculean strength on my part, to focus on those things I have some control over, and stay aware of the global picture. It is for my piece of mind that I am now writing in the open, sending e-mails to our elected officials discussing my opinion and praising them when I think they have chosen wisely. That includes President Obama.
