America's future is bright

Like many, the last 24 hours for me have been intense. I have been among the most stubborn ranks of the #nevertrump crowd. I put my all into doing everything I thought I could to keep Donald Trump from being elected. And yet, Donald Trump will be the 45th president of the United States of America.

I have said it before, but I'll say it again: I believe so strongly in the American people that I believe we can stand united, even in the face of sometimes disappointing and even divisive leadership. America is, and can always be, as great as We the People make it. And today, from my vantage point, we are making America a light on a hill.

My Facebook feed has become flooded with inspired messages of hope, peace, and love from people from all walks of life and political leanings.

I am beyond grateful to live in a country where I am surrounded by such amazing people. America is already great. And, We the People are making it better every day. God bless America!
