Hello My Patriotic Pals,

We are almost there, yes?

The true birthday of our nation, our date of declaring and establishing our freedom.

So let’s celebrate! And celebrate you!

Celebrate your innate spark. Celebrate the mark you make on the universe. Commemorate your singularity and uniqueness.

And be you. Be true blue. Be unfettered and one of a kind.

To be independent, one (like our forefathers) often has to step on toes and ruffle feathers, and also figure out what it is to truly be the individual that is you.

The independent way is not always one cluttered w/ cheerleaders and grandstands, but more often an unknown, sometimes solitary, but always adventurous new path.

Being independent allows us to connect to ourselves, which actually allows us to be connected to others in an authentic way.

Being independent enables us to be clear as to what works for us, or what doesn’t, and to have access to our innate wisdom.

Being independent gets us synched up w/ our path, and careening along towards our destiny.

Being independent aligns us w/ the ebb and flow of the world, and helps us not get knocked off our axis when upsets occur.

Fostering a state of independence and self reliance is the best gift one can give themselves, and the best present our founding fathers have role modeled.

So listen to you. Follow your voice. Care for your needs. And turn towards what lights you up.

Whatever it is, you’re right! Because you always are!

To being full of yourself ;).
