Today, America turns 250. In 1852, Frederick Douglass stood before a crowd celebrating independence and asked "What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?" He celebrated the ideals of the Declaration while exposing the contradiction of a nation built on freedom and slavery at the same time.
My father spent his life trying to push America closer to its own promises. Douglass' question is an invitation to be honest about where we have been and intentional about where we are going. This Fourth of July, let us remember not just what America has been, but what it must become. #America250 #IndependenceDay

We’re in the midst of a lot of chaotic astrological energy. Its a good time for a reminder to be kind to yourself & go back to basics. Drink enough water. Eat balanced meals. Move your body & workout. Vitamins. Rest. Meditate. Journal.
When I see a dog, I either left the package by the mailbox or didn't deliver the package. I have a family to go home to and a job to keep. I will not let your "precious" affect my life. Ups man was right .
