Don’t worry, this is not a political post. I know that most of you visit the blogosphere for a short reprieve from the grim world around us, especially in an election year. But some things are too important not to share.

Michelle Obama KILLED it on Monday with her speech. I had tears in my eyes just watching it. No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, you have to appreciate her heartfelt remarks and her conviction to speak the truth. This quote is not simply a lesson in politics. It’s a lesson in life…Always take the high road. Be kind. Build others up instead of tearing them down…What a different world we would live in if we only heeded these words.
