In uncertain times like ours, when the ambiguity of the moment seems to tilt in the direction of fear, hurt, and great suffering for so many in the world, I can only give thanks for the 107 days of hope that touched my life.

Transcending the political scene for a moment, I found it refreshing to hear a woman speak in such a way I felt respected and honored for 107 days.

I heard a woman speak in a manner of decency for 107 days.

For 107 days, a woman spoke to us with great humor and humility.

For 107 days, a woman under enormous pressure traveled throughout the Country, meeting friends and foes alike. 

For 107 days, I felt hope that my Country could realize its dream of being a true multicultural democracy.

For 107 days, I felt a sense of interior calm I had not felt in a long time.

For 107 days, I rejoiced as the Nation could see itself as a joyful, welcoming people ready to be of great service to the world.

For 107 days, I was blessed to know so many loving people existed.

For 107 days, I was hopeful money was not the definition of everything.

For 107 days, I was dreaming a dream we could do together what no one of us could do alone.

For 107 days, I felt hope and joy.

For these 107 days, I felt a sense of peace.

In honor of these 107 days, I recommit to honoring, recognizing, and building the Beloved Community as best I can.

Thanks for the 107 days.
