Good Morning Angels and welcome to a fresh start in your week. This past week we celebrated an important day that represents Freedom. I know that you probably know someone who fought or is fighting for our independence . Freedom is an on going battle that will never end. We live very well and are fortunate in this country for now so we aren't' able to experience what life is like for someone who can't say what is on their mind or be who they have always wanted to be. We don't feel threatened in the same way others do in other countries. Granted we have our own set of worries and fears in our own country but I wouldn't trade mine for theirs.

Freedom is something that we have a tendency to remove from our lives by our choices. This is something that I have experienced in my life many times and probably so have you. I believe that we are placed in situations to learn the value of our independence and why it is so important to put up a fight for it.
When you don't depend on anyone but yourself you make it so you are the only one to blame if something does or doesn't work out. We all need to , at times, depend on someone else so we can get to a better place in life and build our destinies- but it is important not to get to caught up thinking that , that is your final stage of where you are supposed to be. When you are where youre supposed to be or you are with who youre supposed to be with, you will know with out a question. Don't second guess yourself or your ability to know what you are being guided to. All of the uncertainties, lead you to the Freedom that you desire in your life. So don't fear it, work thru it and develop a comfort level in dealing with it. One of my favorite phrases is by Ralph Waldo Emerson and he says, "Always do what you are afraid of doing." There is alot of truth to that you can only see if it's experienced.

Part of attaining Freedom is learning how to appreciate and use it as the very important resource that it is. Don't feel bad for having to be temporarily dependable on someone else, a certain job or situation- it exists to give you leverage for your life's purpose. We have a Higher Power that is there at our beckon call so don't forget it and go at it alone reach out to Him and He will answer you in the calm.

Until next time you all have a Powerful Week and I will be in touch with you very soon.

Courage + Uncertainty + Higher Power = Freedom
