You are Free , if You Will Believe it

Your independence can start today

Whatever has happened to you up to this point, whatever genetic or generational influences have followed you, whatever the narcissists and their flying monkeys did, whatever your fourth-grade teacher said, whatever mistakes you’ve made, you can shake off those chains as a decision, an act of the will, the declaration of a one-person country.

The declaration is only the beginning, but where is anything without beginning?

Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.

Zechariah 4:10

You cannot change everything, but there are choices to be made.

Frodo took the Ring. Sam followed him.

They could not have known what it would cost, but the risk was justified by what was at stake: existence as they knew it. Their village, their families, their Shire, and everything that lay beyond it.

Our stakes are high. Everything we hold dear is at risk.

All we have is our choices, our voices.
