Gabby Douglas = GOLD

Now that everyone should know that Gabby Douglas won the Gold in the Individual All Around for gymnastic I'd like to congratulate her for:

1. accomplishing a dream; 
2. doing it and doing it well for the United States; 
3. busting down any previous stereotype that African Americans can't be successful gymnasts when put to the test; and finally 
4. for unknowingly being a positive role model of strength, grace and class to a world of girls of all colors, my daughter included.

Onwards, Gabby. The sky is the limit!
