“Freedom”…What does it really mean?

Over the last several years I have thought a great deal about this word.  It has so many variations in what it means to each of us.  To a prisoner it means one thing, to a domestic violence victim who flees her abuser it means something completely different.  It fascinates me how one word can have such power and universal meanings. On this 4th of July, we celebrate America’s freedom as a collective consciousness.  For most, it means fireworks, hamburgers, hotdogs & pool time with friends and family. …

My Cherished Blanket

Isn’t it interesting how in life sometimes we do not realize how “things” can change their meanings to us over time.  Over my life I have received so many gifts.  Whether it be for birthdays, Christmas’, friendships or for other special occasions like a promotion or graduation.
