Let It Be: A Spiritual Reflection for the 4th of July

~ A love note to freedom, presence, and possibility ~

A love note to freedom, presence, and possibility.

There’s a kind of freedom that lives deep within us—
Not granted by governments or written into constitutions...
But remembered in silence, in gratitude, and in love.

Happy 4th of July, dear friends.

Today, as flags wave and fireworks light up the skies,
I invite you to pause for something deeper.
Not just a celebration of a country’s independence—
But a remembrance of your own.

Because freedom isn’t just a political idea.
It’s a state of being.
A deep, inner allowing.
A letting go.

Letting go of fear.
Letting go of the stories that divide us.
Letting go of the belief that our joy is tied to who’s in charge or what the headlines say.

As Michael Singer reminds us, this world was here long before we arrived—and it will continue long after.
The turbulence of politics and opinion will always swirl.
But the peace you’re searching for?
It’s closer than you think.

It’s not about control.
It’s about release.

When the Declaration of Independence was signed, there was chaos.
There was division.
There were deeply opposing views.
Sound familiar?

And yet… something remarkable was birthed:
An idea. A possibility.
A bold, imperfect attempt to create a freer world.

That spirit lives on.
Not just in fireworks,
But in every moment you choose to live freely:
To think your own thoughts.
To imagine something better.
To speak with kindness.
To dream wildly.
To create beauty.
To choose love over fear.

We live in an extraordinary country.
Not perfect—but profoundly full of possibility.

We can do, be, and create nearly anything.
And the moment we forget that... is the moment we start to suffer.
Because true freedom isn’t about external circumstances.
It’s about your inner atmosphere.

Let go of the idea that someone else determines your happiness.
Let go of the belief that you're stuck until something out there changes.
Let go of the narrative that tells you things are broken beyond repair.

This Independence Day, can we soften?
Can we practice Abraham Hicks’ teaching and see the positive aspects in everyone?

Can we walk through the day not with division—but with appreciation?
Not with outrage—but with awe?
Not with judgment—but with joy?

Because when you change—everything changes.

Let this day be a sacred whisper:

Freedom lives here.
And here.
And here.
In the breath.
In the beauty.
In the moment you say yes to life.

Let go of what doesn’t matter.
Celebrate what does.
Love more. Appreciate deeper.

Happy 4th of July.
To your freedom. To your light.
To the miracle of this one, wild, precious life.

And to all who came before us to make this day possible:
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
