“And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” — MARIANNE WILLIAMSON http://wisdomquotes.org/freedom.php

“Everything can be taken from a man but … the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

“If you think that love is what you want,
you will go searching for it all over the place.
If you think love is what you are, you will go sharing it
all over the place. The second approach
will cause you to find what the searching will never reveal.”
— Neale Donald Walsch

“Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.” — Eckhart Tolle

Reasons to Celebrate July
There are always reasons to celebrate life if you just look around you.
During July we have the obvious holidays we all know about, like Canada Day (1) American Independence Day (4).
But did you know that July is also:
- National Anti-Boredom Month
- National Blueberry Month
- National Cell Phone Courtesy Month
- National Hot Dog Month
- National Ice Cream Month
Some of the more unique and fun ways to celebrate July include:
4 Sidewalk Egg Frying Day– Is the sidewalk really hot enough to fry an egg? Give it a try.
10 Teddy Bear Picnic Day When’s the last time you took Teddy out?
19 National Ice Cream Day (third Sunday of the month) Ice cream social anyone?
24 Amelia Earhart Day Celebrate my childhood hero and Kansas girl Amelia Earhart.
30 Father-in-Law Day Give your “Pop” (or whatever you call your father-in-law) a hug and let him know you appreciate him.

Thought for Today
“Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them — and then, the opportunity to choose.” — WRIGHT MILLS [Source: http://wisdomquotes.org/freedom.php]
