today many people are coming back from vacations in the sun and family picnics on the shore. having had grand celebrations and fireworks to honor our Nation’s Birth.   but does that independence apply to you?  well of course not sage! my mom’s got total control over my time and life…okay if you’re under age; there are rules that you have to obey.

but even tweens and teens need some independence in their lives.   sadly most adults don’t truly have it either.  webster’s dictionary says Independence means: 1- free from the influence or control of others; 2- self- reliant, 3- one who is independent in thinking and action.

before you run for the grill or first dips to make smores…take a moment to ponder how you can get more freedom in your life…
