A political convention is supposed to pull your heart strings a bit, introduce the candidates, and talk about the party. However, rarely does a political convention bring one to tears. This past week’s Democratic National Convention was quite the tear jerker. It wasn’t just because of the young man who is working to cope with… Continue reading Many Tears Were Shed

Devoting my attention to the last night of the convention. Hope you are too. Go Biden/Harris!

What a moving Roll Call the Democrats did last night as they tallied the votes from each state! How often do we get to see the vastness, the diversity, the beauty of our Nation in such a short time?
