Now is the time for us to come to the aid of our country of Y-O-U. Rather than allowing our fears to overwhelm us again, how about taking some time for ourself and working through our @#$% emotional stuff so we can come up with our own solutions and action plans.

We can take a page from Obama’s book—continue eating well, exercising and writing. My bet is that he is a journaler as he writes his own books and speeches. It shows.

I want a leader with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it’s time to lead, I want a slow hand
