Collage Journal Entry: 9.4.12
Tonight, Michelle Obama reminded us the importance of story, especially shared human stories as she spoke to us about her husband. Towards the middle of her speech she said:
Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are – it reveals who you are.
IN keeping with making entries in my collage journal, I decided to make today's image based on the First Lady who revealed to all of us what it means to be rock solid.

ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth. I began the image as I listened to the Michelle Obama speak last night. Very heartfelt.
DeleteWonderful tribute to a great lady!
ReplyDeleteGina, thanks so much.
DeleteA friend of a friend on Facebook brought me here (which, I guess, may mean you're going "viral").
ReplyDeleteThank you for capturing the spirit of last night's experience so well.
Wonderful memento.
It was my pleasure. I was so moved by her speech and who she is.
