As I watched the President’s swearing in ceremony and speech, more tears came. The ideals of which he speaks resonate deeply for me. Transparency, inclusion, collaboration, cooperation, prosperity and service just to name a few.
He spoke of transparency as the vehicle to trust between people and their government. Transparency is the vehicle to real trust between any two people or a person and an institution. We practice transparency in our office and with our clients. Each day as I read blogs and understand more about social media, I also learn more about the power of transparency. The changes that will spring forth from just this one change in government are immense.
The President also spoke of “extending prosperity to every willing heart.” Ever since Ronald Reagan was elected President we have seen government policy shift toward unprecedented aggregation of wealth in the top 1% of our citizens. And while I hold no ill will for anyone who achieves great wealth, the era of greatness for our country, was when our policies and values were aligned with shared prosperity. It fills my heart with hope to know we are returning to these values of holding the American dream for each and every American.
My most favorite thing about the new President is that the day before his inauguration, he called the nation to a day of service. It says volumes that not only did he call on people everywhere to serve, he himself served.
Hope and change feel real and alive for me today. Finally! Yahoo!
May prosperity be yours,
