Happy 4th of July!

I leave you, hoping

that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms

until there shall no longer be a doubt

that all men are created free and equal.

~ Abraham Lincoln

Ojai, California

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...

They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of liberty.

~Thomas Jefferson

Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore,

the means of knowledge.

Let us dare

to read,

think,

speak

and

write.

~John Adams

It may not be a perfect system

but we still have it pretty great!

It's a perfect time to remember those that came before us ...

Not only those that fought for us in battle

but with their words and strength of spirit,

standing up for our right to vote,

to yell

to say "NO!"

to say "YES!"

to be free.

Blessings and light to you all!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
