2017 Presidential Inauguration Live Stream, Events and Resources
So, today is the day… the 2017 Presidential Inauguration. History is being made today. First, before I go one step further, I would like to ask everyone to say a prayer. There is so much animosity and anger today that I just pray that cool heads and warm hearts prevail in all circumstances. I pray that we all realize we fight not against each other but against the enemy himself who comes to divide, steal, and kill. Rob of us of our humanity. Of our love. Of our compassion. Of our reason. Of our joy. So please, no hating on each other today. I don’t care if you are marching or celebrating, we will not spew hate. Period. You are all sisters in my book. We are on this mama-path together and I refuse to be a source of hurt and pain to my sisters. Even if I don’t agree with you… I will not tear you down for your choices. Please show me the same kindness and compassion!!
