Yes, and there’s a place for grief. I’m already starting to move beyond the numb, aching feeling I had all of last night. Embrace change, trusting in the purpose of it all. Blessings, Val, and thanks for your kind words. It means a lot. <3

Please, David, some words of comfort. I’m not even American and feel sad. How must the 56% who voted for Clinton feel?

Tracey, it must be incredibly difficult for the Clinton voters. I agree esp given that they believed it was a runaway race.
