Thank you for this Belle, Bea, and Harriet. I think I’ve lost track of my “why?” and need to do some serious journaling in order to remind myself. I learn a lot from you three.

Belle and Bea, I want you to know that at least one of your encouraging Vote! texts resulted in two positive responses! Our neighbor-in-common promptly loaded up his wife and showed up at the polls right as I did. Another neighbor (who voted last week) encountered the two of them on their way, saying "Bea texted us!". She handed them the blue 'cheat sheet' to enhance their experience. community action, huh?!

Belle. What a time. Your dad absolutely needs a second opinion. Oh, to get that close. Keep us posted. And, yes, on election night, my friends and I wore our pant suits, ready to celebrate...and we were blindsided. I'm trying to keep a healthy attitude about whatever happens tomorrow. We came to the Cheri Beasley event at the Carolina Theater, and you all were so great! I told my husband that if I won the lottery, I would hire a mega marketing/ pr agency for the Democratic Party, because it's driving me crazy that somehow we're not connecting like we need to connect. ahhhhh...okay, Again, love to your family and onward!

This election, I am voting for democracy. And more, of course, including women's reproductive rights, voting access, gun safety. I am very worried that my local candidate and friend, whom I've worked quite hard for, will lose to her lousy opponent but mainly inflation, taxes, gas and oil costs. I'm worried but/and still working hard.
