I Have a Dream

As I go about my morning routine this morning, I am watching the Today show's coverage of the 40th anniversary of the assasination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and I am just completely struck by the beauty inherent in the I Have A Dream speech. I literally just got the chills as I listened to it.




I cannot remember the last time I was moved by a speech from a public figure any time in recent history. Speeches just seem so canned and devoid all of emotion in the name of public favor. I just wish that someone would step forward and deliver a message that indicated that they were actually passionate about an issue rather than passionate about winning an election.

(P.S. I promise not to turn this blog into I Wanna Be A Political Goddess. Ick! Not to worry, plenty of happy-fun posts about craft projects, fashion, recipes, and good books soon to come. Because that's what I'm passionate about.)
