Life in the Little Lane: Edith Ann and Obama

Edith Ann, Yes indeed! Nothing was more important than bringing The Dream, The Hope and The Inspiration for All The People, especially the Children . Let Freedom Ring, for every Boy and Girl around the world. We have only just begun, the dreams and hopes of kids imaging a more perfect world for everyone is what makes it possible. As Don Quito said,to “Dream The Impossible Dream…Keep on Dreaming Edith Ann…

My oldest children didn’t think twice about voting for Obama due to race, they weren’t raised that way. They voted for him because they were inspired by him. They voted for him because they believed he was the person who most represented their views and the person who could put this country back on track. Now, my 6 year old has grown up with Barack Obama. When he was 3 years old and Obama was running in our Illinois Senate race, I dressed my son in a t-shirt that said “My Momma Likes Obama”. Even at that age he was able to recognize Obama’s photo in the papers and would say “Obama yes!”. Now this 6 year old Irish-German-Greek-American child will grow from childhood to into a pre-teen and, hopefully, with a second term he’ll grow into a teenager, with a President who happens to be black in the White House and it will be the most normal thing in the world to him. He will watch Obama’s girls growing up with him, and probably think of them as distant family members. Just think of all the children in this country (and even around the world) experiencing this and imagine the huge shift in consciousness that is occurring. And this shift is taking place because enough people, voters, had the vision to make it happen. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

My kids were raised with extensive diversity and the school system stressed achieving your “personal best”. The hope is that the BEST will be given the responsibilities in this world . Hopefully greatly reduced positions will be granted on old boy networks, nepotism and pay backs. We desperately need the leadership and applied intelligence of our best and brightest- which was never restricted to one race, gender or religion.

I’m gonna imitate you Miss Edith: And that’s the truth!!!!!!!!!!! pppppppplllllllppppp. Wah Hoo….Auntie said I could hoop and holler all I wanna, although she’s real sad about the bad vote on 8. Love, Bulb

It is! IT TRULY IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This historical event will bring about a generation of less self-absorption, more enlightenment, inspiration, and open-mindedness! You know what this means? THERE COULD BE EVEN MORE EDITH ANNS! And as always, it’s good to have you back! That sky wasn’t falling after all, was it? *hugs*

Dear Edith Ann: It is a wonderful new world for all of us - and that includes the furry friends like me. I really do feel safer as Ms. Jane said I would. Dice, the nice
