Happy Independence Day...

So very much can be said of this day and I am grateful to live in a country where we have the freedom to say it...whatever it is ..."independent of the good opinion of others" as Maslow said.

"Freedom"...say it out loud...slowly...it inspires such a peaceful knowing feeling and taps into a place in the heart...it's not an ego thing, but I guess it can be, although I don't think that's what our forefathers had in mind when they penned.." We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..." It's like, omg! Who were these guys?! Totally awesome, right!

Anyway, Happy Birthday America!
And....
