I hope you’re well and enjoying the beginnings of summer! This week we celebrate the independence of our nation. There are many reasons for us to be grateful, not the least of which is the freedom of expression and the ability to show generosity and compassion fearlessly.

I like what Eleanor Roosevelt had to say on the subject of independence:

True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth, universal brotherhood and goodwill, and a constant and earnest striving toward the principles and ideals on which this country was founded.

Why not spend some time this week reflecting on the positive aspects of our country and lifestyle. Take time to pause and take a mindful look at how we spend each day and the opportunities we share in the areas of choice and independence. Then consider sharing your thoughts and resources in a way that promotes a mindset of generosity. I believe you may be enriched in the process.
