I had the opportunity to listen to two of the nations most groundbreaking women speak. That's right, both of them are groundbreaking in their own ways....but both either have or are paving the way for women in power positions.

On Tuesday I got to listen to and meet the woman who:
- Interviewed every president since Nixon
- Got not just one, but two huge interviews with Fidel Castro
- Has won numerous Emmy awards, along with tons of other journalism awards
- Was the first female co-anchor of a nightly news show
Thats right ladies and gentlemen, I got to listen to a very interesting conversation with Barbara Walters!
She gave a talk, working with our local bookstore, that was actually a conversation between Ms. Walters and a local TV Personality, Laurie Jennings. The night was fun, it was great to hear the stories that she told, and lessons that she has learned in her 78 years! Then she signed books and I got to meet her. Very interesting, very inspirational!

So, as we all know this presidential race is like the energizer bunny...it keeps going and going! Well, on Wednesday, the main Energizer Bunny was in South Florida to talk to the people. That's right, the first female presidential candidate to ever win a primary, and to come this far...Hillary Clinton:
She talked about getting the Florida and Michigan votes to count. She focused on the many things that need to get fixed come January 20, 2009. She focused on not necessarialy getting herself into office (even though she did though in a female reference every now and then) but just getting a democrat into office!
She was a phenomenal speaker, and an inspiration to watch. She even used someones sign to make her point!
