“Freedom is in sunlight, mountain hikes, riversides, and in the night’s sky full of stars. Freedom is in laughter and in tears, and in moments we hold someone we love. Freedom is in breaking bread together. Freedom is in the quietness and in your breath; it is deeply felt in ordinary moments. Freedom is simply knowing what’s real. Freedom is doing what’s right. Real freedom may seem pretty boring by today’s standards; it is not perceived as spectacular, bedazzling, enthralling, or entertaining — but it means absolutely everything. Freedom is a forgotten land waiting for you to remember. Begin to remember.” -Bryant McGill
Freedom
Unnecessary Possessions
“Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.” —Peace Pilgrim
Freedom Is In…
Freedom is in sunlight, mountain hikes, riversides, and in the night’s sky full of stars. Freedom is in laughter and in tears, and in moments we hold someone we love.

She Was Free…
“She was free in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man and to no city.” -Roman Payne
When You Truly Don’t Care
Why waste precious time worrying about what others think of you? Ask yourself what YOU think of yourself, and go from there. Your feelings are far more important than that of those who aren’t going to invest as much time in you as you will. LIVE FREE.
I Have Found…
“I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.” ―Khalil Gibran
Veteran’s Day 2014
My brother’s best friend came home from Afghanistan having been shot on duty that wasn’t supposed to be dangerous. He was awarded a Purple Heart prior to being discharged. He was adamant that the “heroes came home in boxes draped in American flags”, but that they didn’t come home like he did. I disagree.
No matter when you served or how you served this country, you have done something heroic and deserve to be honored today, and every day.
