1.4 Million People
Today I am 60 years old, born January 20, 1949 in Muskegon, Michigan. For the first time in over a decade I am proud to be an American. My birthday present is the Inauguration of Barack Obama. Tonight I dine with my kids and friends and that is truly an exceptional present. That I lived this long astounds me! That I have lived to see this historic and wonderful opportunity happen in my country has restored my faith in America and what we are capable of. I am proud to be an American, a mother and an artist. I am going to leave pity and bitterness and grief and anger behind. I am going to move forward with love, hope and hard work. 2009 is the year of change for all of us and for me. I look forward to how I can be called to be of service and I am hopeful that now we can, yes we can, and yes we must!
