This blog's intention...

January 19, 2017 - I am starting this blog with the idea of communicating with our new President. Today there is a huge disconnect between the White House and many of our citizens. I was so excited to have Hillary Clinton running for president. I thought that I would witness the first woman president and I was thrilled. More than just having a woman, I was moved by her giving her life to community service. I knew she would be my kind of president. My disappointment has been huge. I have been on the losing end many times in my voting years, and learned to live with the loss. This time, it is not the loss that I am mourning, but the change in how vicious and hurtful and divisive this campaign has been. The divide feels insurmountable. It feels hurtful and dangerous. It feels like there are lives at risk and that we have lost the feeling of a united nation. That is the drive behind this blog. I want there to be a civil conversation across this land. I want him to know what drives me through my days, what I want for this country, and what I want our country to stand for. For that reason, I am planing on sending a postcard to President Trump on every day of his presidency. I will post a picture of the postcard each day. You are free to comment. I would hope you would comment with generosity and civility. I will remove comments that do not encourage conversations across the isles. Please respect the intention of this effort. Dianne
