An open letter to the president

A lot has happened in the short weeks since you took office, I won't say I speak for all of the American people in this, but I believe we have a right to know how you would answer this question; what is it that defines an American to you? 

I do my very best to not discuss politics online as I find it detracts from what matters most in life, the chance to connect, value, and show love to another. But, so much has taken place, and I fear so much more yet to come, I want to share this letter on behalf of my fellow Americans and on behalf of those that feel fear, concern, and even a bit of hopelessness at what has and continues to transpire.

I can't say I've seen a leader I was proud of lately in this country, but Mr. President, as the one who holds a powerful pen, I ask that you consider who it is that truly makes up what it is to be an American.

I hope you tune in today, I hope if you find this helpful or want to talk that you will send me a message, and that you would know that my intention is as it always has been, to hold space for my fellow human to be seen and valued.

Sincerely,
Your fellow human
