Happy 4th of July!
Today Americans celebrate both outer freedom and inner freedom. Joan Borysenko says, "Inner freedom manifests itself when we no longer march to the beat of any drum, but listen for the still, small voice of our own Higher Self.
This inner voice leads us to forgiveness, gratitude, peace, and an understanding of our life purpose." It's a good time to ask yourself, 'Why am I here, and what are my gifts?' How are you using these gifts in life?
July is a month of creativity and nature's abundance...eggs hatch and baby birds can be seen emerging from their nests, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are ripening for the picking, and flowers bloom in their array of glorious colors, shapes and sizes! It's truly a feast for the eyes...and a time when we become more attuned to the bounties of the Universe and our part in it.
We celebrate with cook outs, and the foods that go along with them, like hamburgers, or veggie burgers, barbecue chicken, potato salad, vegan salads, and desserts like my favorite traditional Flag Cake! What are your favorites?
I'm looking forward to spending the 4th with my family and precious grandkids. However you spend this holiday, I wish you love, joy and peace
