Voting By Color

Normally I vote based on my political party affiliation, which is Democrat. But I voted for president in 08 solely based on color, but not the color of the candidate's skin. Rather the color of his aura, which is predominantly violet. I am biased since this is also one of my auracolors.

Did someone just ask, "what the heck does that mean?" Barack Obama is a leader with vision, compassion and guess what, he's here to inspire the masses to create a world of peace and equality for all. Whether or not people believe in auras, doesn't really matter because everyone can agree Obama isn't exactly from the good ole boys club.

When violets are in power, they achieve their dream by envisioning the dream in their mind. For violets, seeing is creating. Often times regular folks accuse violets of having lofty unattainable ideals. But violets must hold true to their vision, despite the naysayers.

Obama's vision for the United States includes his intention to heal this country, change the image other countries have of the United States, expand health care, and heal the economic cycle we are currently in. Already the press is saying, "well he may not be able to do that because of blah blah blah and then there is also blah blah blah." Hold the vision, Obama. I mean, "Yes You Can."

Others are saying Obama campaigned on emotional rhetoric and said what he had to to win. A leaders job is to inspire people to do what they came here to do. And Obama did just that. He got people off their couches in record numbers to go vote. And when he talks he seems genuine about what he is saying. He appears to be conscientious and knows all to well he is inheriting some major problems that need to be solved and evolved.

Violets are here to usher in the new age of peace, acceptance and love, which is coming soon. Violets see the big picture, not necessarily the details and Obama will have to rely on his team to carry out the details of his dream. A team he is assembling at this very moment. While he may not take over the Oval Office until January, he isn't planning on walking in there unprepared.

So what can we do to support Obama's dream? Forget the negativity of the press. Hold the vision of peace, love and equality for all. If we see it, we can be it. And if you are one of those "violets" who came here to do something big then do something. Be yourself. Let your light shine, even for fear of public embarrassment. If I can do it everyday on this blog, so too, can you.

Obama can achieve his vision as long as we all hold it. We can heal our nation and get back to what this country was founded on ingenuity, spontaneity, freedom and equality for all.

Our collective mantra can be, "Yes We Are." And believe me, we are changing. Remember to breathe as you say, "Yes We Are."
