32. geez.... this really

Apr 2012

speaks to that aspect of what I truly admire about Pres. O.
The way that he uses a moment like this to draw everyone into the circle of community. To remind us that ever one of us has an opportunity to use our lives in ways that can make the world a better place. That the actions of countless unknown, unsung little people doing what needs to be done, is what brings about meaningful change. Little by little, doing what we can, when and where we are.

thanks for posting this with the entry.
