I've been thinking about what freedom means to me on this Independence Day weekend.
What has taken me the longest to see is that I am most thankful for the freedom to be me.
Although I am no longer responsible for the care of breathing beings, except for my two cats, it doesn't have anything to do with the freedom I now feel. (BTW my furry friends will celebrate their birthdays this month, Ebony will be 7 and her son, Smokey will be 6.)
The freedom I feel is the ability to take whatever comes my way and make it mine, however I choose to do that. Most of my life I tried hard to fit in and do things the way THEY said they should be done. That isn't me and it never was.
So from this day forward I am going to simply appreciate the gift of freedom to be me that I have worked very hard to earn.
Happy 4th everyone!

- This blog began as a means to share my life adventures with my readers. My writing experience to that point included two published books; Wake Up! and A Gathering of Spirit and four years as a columnist for the Cibola Beacon. I have since added Journey of an Enlightened Egotist, Spirits of Cibola County, What Now My Love? A Writer's Journey and Adventures of a Chosen Messenger to my published work, all are available from Amazon.com Looking for ways to inspire others to write I created a writing group for senior citizens in 2012, a writing camp for children 2012-2015 and a communication group for a nursing home in 2013. In 2018 I created an online writing group.This move led to two others eventually removed do to lack of participation. A friend once told me to find my passion and share it and I would realize my purpose. She was right! Every time I have thought I should give up something happens to assure me that I am on the right path.
