The First Lady: Revealing Who You Are


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.

  3. A friend of a friend on Facebook brought me here (which, I guess, may mean you're going "viral").
    Thank you for capturing the spirit of last night's experience so well.
    Wonderful memento.
