i know i haven't written this week but it's been such a whirlwind of a week since the election and i'm still finding myself trying to fully recuperate. not that it hasn't been wonderful and exciting, just crazy busy lately. and it's hard to write on here about all the things i'm seeing and reading right now because there's just so much good news to report from the election. everything has really changed overnight and we have the right to vote and make ourselves heard to thank. thank you to all of you who participated and voted because you truly made an historic difference. of course, who knows what will happen next, but the important thing is that we set about changing things and things have changed and will continue to change and get better. i'm very excited. and i'll have more to say shortly...
