			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guys, I swear I don&#8217;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&#8230; now this AOL article confirms that I wasn&#8217;t imagining it.  <a href="http://news.aol.com/article/is-it-cool-to-be-an-american-abroad/238998?icid=200100125x1212555703x1200810354">No More Ugly Americans </a>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&#8217;ve just experienced in our country has literally rocked the world in a really good way!  Wow!  I think it&#8217;s going to take a while before we can really all absorb just what this <em>really</em>, truly means.  This thing has layers upon layers of positive impact.  For now, I&#8217;ll leave you with that article.  I hope you enjoy!</p>
<p>Hugs and Stay in the Light&#8230; Leslie</p>
<p>PS:  It is 3:52 AM, EST&#8230; still on deadline.  I popped on-line to find out what snails eat&#8211;don&#8217;t ask, ha ha ha.  Pure research and got diverted.  Alas&#8230; but this was a good diversion&#8211;now back to work, even though I&#8217;m seeing double.  So forgive all typos <img src='http://leslieesdailebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
