    it's up to all of us to take what we can from this... she gave the speech at one location but it is here for all of us to learn from... if this had taken place 10yrs ago not one of us would be able to see or hear the advice she offers but the fact that we live in the age.. yet that we are the first to live in an age where we are fortified the opportunity to witness this profound speach is a gift to all of us.. in short count your blessings, be grateful and have empathy..

    What a lovely, thoughtful, and inspiring speech. "This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really there is no normal. There is only change, and resistance to it, and more change."
