Thank you thank you TAM....ugh - it's been hard hasn't it....

I've been comforted having read quite a few of you open your hearts and share the transparency of how difficult this has been....

When I posted my article, hours before we saw the results, I was convinced she won - at the worst it would be so close we wouldn't know until the next day....

And then --

I've grieved. My next step...I'm trying to figure it out...I want to get involved and I feel there needs to be real long term strategy and a sense of reality of where we really are.

I feel utterly ignorant and dumb to know millions around me feel the way they do - I'm still in shock. It scares me too...who around me is thinking - who the hell is she and why is she here? Yet - I don't invest time in fear - never was one to.

But many people I care about are petrified for the safety of their lives and that pisses me off - no one in a 21st century democracy like what the US stands for should live this way. It's just so hard to make sense of this reality....

Thanks for writing - and here's sending you a big hug. We all stand together as we do step one in front of the other - may peace and unity return.
