Titled “We Made History,” this spoke the minds of many throughout the evening. We, in Barcelona, and millions in the world, now feel a renewed hope and inspiration for the road ahead.I felt a connection to the world at a deeper level than I may have in my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina.And, I thought about my inspiring friends in the States and missed being with them.
