Six-Word Memoir: Soften your heart open-hearted warrior

Artwork for November 6th post during Art Every Day Month



Blessings All,

All is well with me. I have been floating on a natural high since President-Elect Barack Obama won on Tuesday night. The past two days in DC have been filled with so much excitement. My U Street neighborhood was and remains a festival of Obama celebration. My smile now covers my entire face and body. It resonates with positive energy 24 hours a day. I have been able to soften my heart and walk as an open-hearted warrior joy and thanksgiving.

This morning my heart continues to widen with grace and gratitude because we have such a wonderful new beginning as a country. We needed it. Now is the time to renergize ourselves and commit to softening our hearts and becoming open-hearted warriors. When we make this choice, we are saying that we want to fully participate in the dance of life. That means we are agreeing to work together to make our families, communities, schools, churches, organizations, businesses, local and federal governments, country, and world better. Our choice starts with our intention and the present moment we find ourselves in. What is your intention? How will you participate in the dance of life as an open-hearted warrior who works with President-Elect Barack Obama and his staff?

Enjoy your day!
