When the fireworks fade

After the fireworks fade,
and the last bottle rocket lands
I hope you will take a moment
followed by every moment
to question your Freedom.

If you’ve never sat down and read
the Declaration of Independence,
I would encourage you to do so.… —-> Continue…

Words will shape your World

.

If a friend of yours, or someone you respected told you
that you looked sick today would you believe them?

starting first as a whisper – growing into a
heart-wrenching cry that will not be silenced.

The temptation is to look back in our life and weigh

Look behind the mask;
See beyond the smile…

In light of recent events,
