Let's Talk Politics

Typically I don't talk much about politics or religion... They are touchy subjects and in my opinion a personal thing and I respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion and point of view.  I also view my blog as a journal and voice of sorts- documenting my art journey, the brush strokes of my life, and things that inspire me.  I love being able to look back at my digital foot print to see how far I have come and where I want to go.

Last night we had the our election and that it's amazing that come election day things can change what seems like overnight and I as a person have the power to vote.  A couple of things that happened last night for the first time in US history, women will hold 20 seats in our Senate which includes the first Asian-American women, first openly lesbian women and first disabled woman.

Last night it passed in Puerto Rico- that Puerto Rico will become the 51st state of the United States.  PR is currently a US common wealth- and my mom is born and raised in Puerto Rico.  I told my mom this morning that it finally passed- PR is going to become part of the United States- and she laughed and said I will call your aunt and see what she thinks.  PR has been up for statehood nearly every election for as long as I can remember but last night that all changed.
