Happy Independence Day, America!

The 4th of July is a celebration of our independence, those that have fought for it and our great and deep appreciation of all the service men and women that have served to keep her free. We honor our Forefathers and remember and enjoy our freedoms. We celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks, parties and parades. We spend it with our family and friends. We look forward to it all year long. It's America's Birthday.

Thought for the Day and Evening

Use today (this evening) to think about and meditate on what sacrifices are made to claim and create independence and freedom. You may want to think about it on a large scale (a country) or on a smaller, more personal scale. Spend time in appreciation of what others have done to pave the way for you in your life and revel in gratitude.

Writing Exercises

~ Take some time to define what  independence and freedom mean to you (as a definition) and in your life. You need to know how you think and feel about something if you want to create more of it, get rid of it or change it. (The first step is always knowing how you feel and think about something.) Being clear about independence and freedom in yourself and your life increases your ability to bring what you want into fruition and eliminate what you don't.
~ A wonderful exercise is to make a list to remind you of all of the freedoms you enjoy in your life. You could list your possibilities, your dreams, your hopes. Be as detailed as you like. Take as much time as you are comfortable with. 
~ A wish list would be a fabulous exercise for today.
~ If there's something you want to be free of ~ today is a great day to contemplate it.
~ If you have a journal, use today as an entry focusing on independence. You could take any angle that you'd like; what you have, what you'd like to have or what you wished you have. 

Contemplation Exercise before Bed

Before going to sleep tonight, spend a few minutes to review everything that you are grateful for in your life. Think about your choices and the joy that you have choices in your life. Even the smallest choice can be a huge gift. Where ever you find yourself in the world, whatever state you find yourself in life ~ feel the deep connection to Spirit that you have and the miraculous feeling of free will. You always have more options than you realize. Use today to tune into that Higher Part of you, feel  the connection you have with the past and the hope that moves you into the future. Every moment, each thought ~ every day is a new day. Every new day brings gifts of opportunity.
