Plan Your Vote

It’s your voice. And I’m all about using your voice. Now’s the time. The election is a little more than two weeks away. The contrast is stark. My mail-in ballot is a work in progress.

In 2019, I wrote a blog that began:
“What keeps you sane every day? How do you stay hopeful about people, and trust their instincts for good? If, like me, your guts twist almost every day, remember Thomas Edison said, ‘Discontent is the first necessity of progress.’
So in my head, I keep hearing Ted Kennedy: ‘the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.’ Feeling challenged by those words these days, I’m inspired by my clients: people who are motivated to make this country—and the world—a better place to live.”

As I watch the polls, my guts twist. My playlist includes the song, “This Is It” by Kenny Loggins. The words say it for me.
There’ve been times in my life
I’ve been wonderin’ why
Still, somehow I believed we’d always survive
Now, I’m not so sure
You’re waiting here, one good reason to try
But, what more can I say? What’s left to provide?
Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
Your back’s to the corner
(This is it)
Don’t be a fool anymore
(This is it)
The waiting is over, no, don’t you run
No way to hide
No time for wonderin’ why
It’s here, the moment is now, about to decide
For once in your life, here’s your miracle
Stand up and fight
