Barack Obama’s inspiration victory speech included the following:
“It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.”
Words such as these bring hope that such sentiments will also extend beyond the borders of the USA.

What a truly historic moment the victory of Barack Obama in the USA Presidential Election has been! In his inspiring victory speech Obama looked back a century through the life of 106 year-old Ann Nixon Cooper and spoke of the challenges of the next century.
Barack Obama brings hope to people around the globe. As an Australian, my hope is that the American people truly unite behind Obama to enable the critical changes that have to occur so that the USA can play its part in meeting huge challenges such as global warming and poverty.
Most of all, I hope that American people support Obama in waging peace, not war.

No yoga classes for a few weeks now until the last term for the year starts. Whilst in general my body is responding well to the practices, there are some that my lower back is still reluctant to conform to!
