On the way there, Florida and California were called for Obama. It was silent, and then all of a sudden, there were crowds in the street, cars honking, cheering, high-fiving.

Although I watched among a group of strangers in Manhattan when the announcement flashed across the screen we were definitely a family. A few of us also walked through Union Square later in the night, and it looked like New Years Eve: a mass of elated people, hugging strangers, screaming, crying, honking. It was beautiful but surreal. I want to remember every detail associated with this monumental moment in history to share it with my children and grandchildren.

I felt like wrapping my baby up, jumping in my ride and heading into Oakland or hoping on the bus and joining the celebrations at Cal, but I just stayed home and cried... rejoyced =) Beautiful.

Me skin is extremely flavorful from all the tears I shed. It was overwhelmingly empowering. I celebrated by holding my sleeping 5 year old in my arms, who accompanied me to the polls this morning, and lived in a moment of pride. A moment of truly believing that we are now going to be alright. Yes we did. Me skin is extremely flavorful from all the tears I shed. It was overwhelmingly empowering.
