Guys, I swear I don’t make this stuff up. Just the other day I blogged right after our historic Presidential election that I felt differently, and that I was even treated differently as an American when I traveled abroad… now this AOL article confirms that I wasn’t imagining it. No More Ugly Americans was the title of their piece. It made me so proud, so I just wanted to share it with you all. This thing that we’ve just experienced in our country has literally rocked the world in a really good way! Wow! I think it’s going to take a while before we can really all absorb just what this really, truly means. This thing has layers upon layers of positive impact. For now, I’ll leave you with that article. I hope you enjoy!
Hugs and Stay in the Light… Leslie
PS: It is 3:52 AM, EST… still on deadline. I popped on-line to find out what snails eat–don’t ask, ha ha ha. Pure research and got diverted. Alas… but this was a good diversion–now back to work, even though I’m seeing double. So forgive all typos

I know it has changed us in the eyes of the world. This has been one of the best weeks in my entire life.
Indeed, it has been a beautiful two weeks since the election. I am so proud of our country, it still makes me tear up whenever I see a glimpse of our new President Elect. I cut out a row of cartoons that were drawn up–one in particular made me smile, albeit woefully: Mr. Obama is motioning to a raggedy looking Uncle Same, and he’s saying “Ready to rejoin the world?” It’s about time we made good on all we’re supposed to stand for. Amen!!
The last two weeks has been amazing!!! It is like watching our country find a missing piece to a huge puzzle, then setting back and actually looking at the picture and saying “Wow so that is what we are suppose to look like!!” I have never been prouder to be an American than right now!!
hello!
I saw you on the hbo true blood special and I am so glad they asked you to be a part of it! years ago I wanted to get into your books, but that didn’t pan out at the time as I usually have so many books to read and so little time to do it in!
well now with the true blood series and being interested in the genre again, i first wanted to read charlaine’s books, but after seeing you and remembering, I am going to go back to my original plan to read your books before all else! I am so excited as I wasn’t really into the twilight series, but still want to get my modern vampire read on! so this weekend I will begin my journey! can’t wait.
glad you are a philly native too, cause just like most philadelphians, born and bred, I am a big supporter of many things philly.

Hi Leslie, Please check out my new blog: White Readers Meet Black Authors. On 11/25 I’ll have a post up about paranormal writers. In the meantime, there’s a call for Dec. to be National Buy a Book by a Black Author and Give it Somebody Not Black Month. http://welcomewhitefolks.blogspot.com
