As we enter July, in the U.S. we celebrate Independence Day on July 4. While this means many things to many people, to me it’s always meant freedom. Not only the freedom of a people to determine their destiny as a whole, but also for each person to determine their own path. To embrace their sovereignty to choose, not at the expense of others, but rather with the respect and support for each person’s inalienable and inherent right to exist, to love, and be loved. So, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the beauty you are and bring into the world, and leave you with the wise words of Bugs Bunny: That’s all, folks!
