Dealing With My Feelings Through Art Therapy

I went out this morning and pulled weeds from my garden. Dirt therapy.

I don't see how she's going to come out on top, but I sure do hope the campaigns back off of nuking each other going forward. You've been a good advocate for your candidate.

PS All I know about you is your support for Hillary. What else are you up to? I hope we can keep you involved here even if Obama's the nominee. I admire your persistence.

I am a political junkie- I grew up in Greensboro- went to College at NCSU (communications) and then finished up in Wilmington NC. Wilmington is really where I started participating in politics- first volunteering- then got picked up by the Human Rights Campaign for the independent expenditure against Helms in 96. After that I was hooked. Julia's run for County Commissioner was the first campaign I managed. I love Julia's courage and I am very proud of public service. After that race in 2000, my partner was offered a job at NYU, I was offered a job with Margarita Lopez- an outstanding NYC council member. Radical- wide open, unapologetic progressive. It was there I was introduced the big boys of the labor movement. The less I say about that the better...I believe in the labor movement- but with all movements- their is always room for improvement. :-)

I was offered a position with a small SEIU local in Salinas CA and accepted. I served as the communication director- from there, I moved up to the South Bay area and began working with the South Bay Labor Council and Working Partnerships, USA. My goal through all of the twist and turns- was to gain as much knowledge as possible - and return to the South to help thread the needle of progressive politics at the local level.

I really like BlueNC's community- obviously I am in the minority when it comes to Presidential candidate preference- but I like the dialogue here- and I love the slogan- the people's think tank. So, for as long as you folks will have me...I will stick around.

I hope you stay around BlueNC for a while. You are absolutely a wonderful addition to our community. Your passion for your chosen candidate is something we can all understand, even if some of us have the passion for a different candidate.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. --Gandhi

I'm outside sorting signs.

I figured out how to recycle Dan Besse's signs. The cardboard is stacked neatly and can be sued [edit....hahaha USED...it can be USED] for school projects and the wire frames will become my bean and pea trellises. That and mowing has been my therapy today. Moving forward - researching Dole, Hayes and Myrick. I don't want to take a break.......that whole fierce urgency of now thing is keeping me working.
