What Does Freedom Mean to Me? You?


As we celebrate another year of Independence, let's reflect on what "freedom" means to us individually.  Is freedom simply living in the USA or is there a deeper meaning?


I moved to MN in 2004. Who moves to MN in December? ME!  I did not know anyone, had never even been to MN before yet decided to uproot myself from life as I knew it to test myself.  What would I miss out on if I did not go?  
  
Thenfreedom was about having options and the personal means to choose.  Freedom meant I could take care of myself; that I had the financial means on my own to afford myself options and choices without barriers - freedom was the right to experience life.

Now, freedom is still about choice, options and the right to experience life but is no longer tied to financial means to fund those choices but rather freedom is personal awareness, inner authority empowering me with the voice to trust and honor myself first.

What did I risk missing out on if I did not come to MN?

INNER FREEDOM!

WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN TO YOU?
