Hi All,

Happy Independence Month! That’s right, I said month...since the holiday I’ve been reflecting on the meaning of the word Independence, how I embrace this in my life, and foster it in the lives of others. If I expect to lead a truly autonomous, independent existence, I must allow others the same expectation. This is the embodiment of NAMASTE!

So much to catch up on this month!
