All ready for voters. Notice it is STILL DARK outside.
On election day, I was a poll judge from 5:00 am to 9:00 pm watching our democracy in action. All day, people voted like their lives depended on it. We had a line out the door for 10 hours, and many new registrants. The energy was high, and people were STRESSED OUT.
I appointed myself the emotional support animal and sat with voters to help them figure out proper documentation or talking them off the ledge when they had to take off their candidate hats in the polling place (that's the rules, folks). I gave everything I've got and put my best coaching skills to work in the world.
That's what it is for me. Consistency. Be the thing you want in the world, no matter who, no matter where. Nothing changes until you do.
And now, I'm exhausted. I've taken the rest of the week off and recommend that whoever you are and whatever you believe in, take some quiet time this week.
