Hello, everyone! In light of the inauguration yesterday’s historic event, we at Yazzie & Co. & want to take the time to reflect on the moment that represented the dawn of a new day in America. Hope has finally come to fruition after years of struggle and heartache. Yes, we were all treated to the pomp and circumstance, but we were also blessed with the proof that change has, as the great Sam Cooke once vowed, truly come.
Not too long ago, American pride seemed to be a kneejerk sentiment that was recited out of habit, rather than out of sincerity. However, November 4, 2008 proved to the world that the words of our Founding Fathers are, in fact, rightful and real. As we stand in anticipation of what direction President Obama will steer this country towards, we can take heed in the fact that our demand for change has been broadcast before our eyes.
While there are definitely some rough roads to travel ahead, yesterday’s turning of a new leaf has provided us with the promise of a new American revolution. An opportunity to improve the way that we think and do, we must use this monumental triumph as a challenge to any misconceptions and mistakes that have symbolized America in the past. In addition to being able to recount this wonderful day to our future children and grandchildren, we can also tell them how we united to help our new president bring about the change that he envisioned for this country.
To New Beginnings,
The Yazzie Blogger
