<\/a><\/p>\nIndependence Day is one of my favorite days of the year.<\/p>\n
We are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights and such there is nothing to be taken for\u00a0 granted.\u00a0 Unalienable rights endowed by our creator cannot be taken from us.\u00a0 Our founders intended to break away from taxation without representation and create something new.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t want to be held captive by any force whether it be a King that represents taxation, news channels that have no objectivity, a loved one who blames us for their heart closing, or our egos that perpetuate any personal imprisonment.\u00a0 It is time to declare the freedom of this time in this moment.<\/p>\n
Open up to the possibilities of the unknown.\u00a0 Nobody who signed the Declaration of Independence knew that Democracy would work (and some could argue quite strongly that it doesn\u2019t) but the ideals of Freedom and Justice and Happiness and the pursuit of working each day to get it right are worth dying for.<\/p>\n
The Declaration of Independence represents a testament to the idea that while all of us have different viewpoints, don\u2019t always get along, get so mad we disagree that we can come together when the cause is dear enough and important enough to hold hands and walk forward into the truth.<\/p>\n
Growing up in Pennsylvania had a huge influence over my development and ideas often without my knowing it.\u00a0 William Penn founded Pennsylvania on the Quaker principles of divine equality of all men, women and children directly influencing the eventual home and spirit of the Congressional Congress telling the King of England to go F – himself.\u00a0 The principles of freedom from tyranny, the principles of a new order for the ages live and breathe in my heart.<\/p>\n
This is a special time in the course of human events and we are blessed to be members of these United States of America and when it is time to speak the truth and remember we are endowed with unalienable rights built into our DNA that all men are created equal and it is time.<\/p>\n
Hold the truth and have it be self \u2013 evident!\u00a0 Live from that place in your heart and let\u2019s watch a new day unfold.<\/p>\n
Some Loving\u00a0thoughts to open the heart and stay the course to eternal freedom.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t stop a minute before the miracle.<\/p>\n
Resurrection is when your eyes are open and you see what is already there<\/p>\n
Enlightenment isn’t a change but it\u2019s recognition<\/p>\n
Fiery passion emerges out of broken heart<\/p>\n
It is Grief support not grief denial<\/p>\n
Faith gives assurance that this too shall pass (enslavement turned to promised land)<\/p>\n
Sometimes we can’t see. Faith gives us the absolute knowledge that<\/p>\n
Crucifixion turns into a resurrection<\/p>\n
Experience tears & pain but keep in mind\u00a0Blessed are those who have faith and they can’t see.\u00a0There is a plan that I don’t need to see it is there.\u00a0God lifts above the battlefield.<\/p>\n
Get out there and by happy and make our creator proud.<\/p>\n
It is an honor to have been born and raised in Pennsylvania and to embody and promote the principles that these countries based on, its origins and the divinely sacred space of my birthplace and all it represents till I take my last breath.<\/p>\n
God Bless America and God Bless us All!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Love, Mel<\/p>\n
