HUGE Step!

No matter what you feel politically, the United States of America took a HUGE step this week. Our country elected a minority to the highest office in the land. I can't think of how big this can be for the future of our nation. It changes the face of America to our kids, to our seniors, and to the world. I hope this victory shows our kids that we really do live in the land of opportunity. That in America you can achieve whatever you want no matter your religion, race, gender, etc. We live in a land where a women, Oprah and Martha, can become billionaires. Where a multi-cultural man, Tiger Woods, can become the greatest athlete in the world. Where a white man, Donald Trump, can go from a billionaire to broke back to a billionaire in a matter of a few years. Now we have a Black man who has become the President of The United States of America; that is the land of opportunity.


I love what Will Smith said on Oprah the other day:

"The way that I was raised was, 'Nobody's better than you, and anything that you want, you set your mind to it and you go get it. Period,'" he says. "I believed that it was possible, but I didn't know if I really believed. The history of African-Americans is such that you want to be a part of America, but we've been rejected so much it's hard to take the ownership and take responsibility for ourselves and this country. It was like, at that second, at that moment, all of our excuses were gone."

Yes we really have now become the land of opportunity that we have preached for decades!
