I’m so sick of election stuff, stuff, stuff; and I’m sure you are, too.\u00a0 Yet please indulge me for two more days.
\nNo matter who wins tomorrow, we will make History — either way, we will have placed someone other than a white male in one of the top two posts of the land, and after 232 years of history, that feels like a HUGE shift!
\nAnd so, I’m excited.\u00a0 Do I have a favored candidate?\u00a0 Ya, ya betcha!\u00a0 I voted last week and am praying that my candidate wins.\u00a0 But I’m not a sour grapes voter.\u00a0 If the other party wins, then we shake it off and move forward.
\nBottom line, I’m happy that no matter who wins, we’ve successfully broken the paradigm.\u00a0 When the Constitution was first written, the definition of citizen was, “white, male, landowner, who was debt-free.”\u00a0 For two centuries, even as the makeup of our country shifted considerably, that small minority has remained the sole source of serious contenders for the top job.\u00a0 But that’s gonna change in just a few hours.
\nFrom tomorrow forward, when parents say to their kids, “you can grow up to be president,” it won’t just be the little white boys who take that suggestion seriously — it will be the rainbows of both genders who now pay attention.\u00a0 And since our country is within just a few years of seeing causcasians become the non-majority, I’m excited for the future of America.\u00a0 Because in this complex world, we are far more likely to succeed when we leverage ALL our human resources, not just a portion of them.
\nThis is just one of the many reasons why I truly believe this is the most important U.S. election that has occurred in my lifetime.\u00a0 I am bouncing up and down in my excitement.
\nI AM THRILLED TO BE BOTH A PLAYER IN — AND A WITNESS TO — HISTORY!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
