I have remained politically silent on this blog but can no longer do so. I am becoming more distraught and weary with each passing day that I watch Trump and the Republican Congress destroy the sacredness of our government, our values and all that we stand for as a brilliant nation. There is a lack of shame and hypocrisy of actions that I find incomprehensible not to mention the GOP's silence on Trump’s despicable morals and obvious mental instability. I am losing hope for the future but everything in me says FIGHT for that future.

I take the the wisdom of Gandhi and try to live by his words: “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.” In this month of December, when the darkest of days turns towards the LIGHT, I will hope again and remember that change begins with me. My words and images will reflect this.
