• the democratic primary being held in south carolina where the rebel flag issue is still being debated each day in our statehouse, in our schools, at our dinner tables and in our churches. where the defense of good decent people is that it is our heritage, it's not about hate. where other good decent people say it hurts them to their core - it is our heritage and it's all about hate. where in the naacp boycotted state of south carolina, a visionary man with an african father and white mother from iowa can win a presidential primary over an incredible hometown boy and an amazing woman of passion. yes, the change is here.
• the changes in our own family as big d and shelbs voted yesterday. not last saturday in the republican primary, but in the democratic primary for many of the same reasons i did. yes, change is here.
• and on a lighter note, for maternity clothes that don't have poofs and bows. so that i can look like me while i'm the size of a car instead of like me with bows and butterflies while i'm the size of a car! yes, change is here.
• for the birth of phenix rose campbell and the changes he's brought about already in his daddy.
