Lady Liberty was a gift from France, an ally for the USA. She arrived in NYC harbor in 1885. The tablet she holds says July 4, 1776. Independence Day is my favorite holiday. I love that the Declaration of Independence began with a seed of an idea. All of us are capable of receiving ideas. I love that we brought this one to life.
My prayer:May we all be free from ignorance and the mayhem it causes. May we all be liberated to soar as high as Feel to, as great as we can dream.
I see the Statue and the Declaration as holding up our ideals. These are useful not only for us as a society but also for our inner worlds and personal relationships.
Here’s my personal message to compulsive overgivers and codependents – or any Wholehearted adult who reduces or shrinks or denies or minimizes their own power:
STOP IT!!!! WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!!!!!
To free yourself from tyranny of any kind – racism, religious oppression or emotional abuse, you’ve got to own your power. Your True Power. Not a puffing up of your false self. But a true expression of your authentic self. Your heart.
We are social creatures and we learn better when we do it together. Create a group of your own or join us at Wholehearted Networking! To see if you’d be a good fit, visit us here: https://joybasedliving.com/wholehearted-networking/
