Michelle Obama

When they go low, we go high. Michelle Obama, how did you get so elegant, so smart, so graceful; how did you get it so right? The evidence is there in all the speeches you give, but there is also evidence in the two daughters you have raised. I am trying to embody this principle. I no longer want to attack people I do not agree with; I do not even care to distastefully attack the presidential candidate I do not agree with. Instead, I want to continue to extol the virtues of all that is good and right with the world, since there is a lot. I want to GO high and STAY high, as a testament to all those cherished blessings I have been given in my life. For example, I am now reading fairy tales written by my students. I can say, since there is evidence, they just did not get this genre, but I can also say how marvelous that there is much magic in their stories. I often try to focus on the good, not the bad, but I can do better with this, and I will, even if it is by magic that this happens. Thank you, Michelle, for giving me this gift of grace!
