Tomorrow is the day we celebrate Independence. But are we independent?
Originally we were under the control of England, and living a life under the cover of a country miles across the ocean became difficult. We secured our independence, but then a certain class of people found themselves the lords over another class of people. Even though our forefathers declared that we were all created equal, what they really meant was that all the white men were created equal. Those of other colors or other genders were not included.
Over the years portions of our population have found it necessary to remind other portions of our population that yes, we are created equal, and we all deserve equal treatment under the law. Sometimes it has been necessary to fight for these rights.
This blog is not about politics, believe it or not.
No matter what your beliefs are, or where you stand on equal rights for all citizens, I am here to declare that the one that keeps us enslaved more than any one else is ourself! Our own thoughts hold us captive. Even if the law declares that we are equal, if we feel that we are a victim, we will experience our lives as a victim. We will notice circumstances that appear to reinforce our belief.
I have found myself constantly fighting an underlying belief that those of other belief systems have a dim view of what I do, and may be sending energy (or prayers) my way that is not in line with my highest expression of my soul.
It is time that we woke up and realized that the only one holding us back from experiencing the highest expression of our souls is ourselves.
Let us take this Independence Day to declare INDEPENDENCE from limited thinking!
We are light. We are the creators of our destiny. It is up to us to declare our intentions for how we want to live our lives!
Let us not limit Spirit when we declare into the realm of Spirit our intentions.
For example.
I have a client who recently declared independence from a marriage that was once delightful but had ceased to be so. She had relocated, and, as expected, found herself having good days and bad days. She had decided to buy a house and was right on the verge of closing when an unexpected hiccup showed up to halt or at least postpone the closing. She had already hired movers. She had already given notice at her current location. She was distraught!
She came to me to find out the best plan of action.
We decided to do a Full Moon ritual calling in the best solution. Knowing that this was the house she wanted to live in, we wrote the address on a piece of paper and placed it in the middle of the floor. We danced around the piece of paper, declaring to the Universe that we were calling in for her this house, without expectation of how this was to occur. We beat our drums and rattled our intentions to the Universe, the same way Joshua led the Isrealites around the city of Jericho when they claimed it as their own. Now I am not advocating displacing another group of people so you can have what is theirs, but the ritual worked for them and has worked for me numerous times to secure something I wanted, as long as it did not interfere with or cause harm to anyone else in the process!
The next day she called and was ecstatic!
The owners and her had worked out a solution and she was moving forward with moving in to the house!
She declared her independence from limited thinking! She allowed Spirit to work out a solution to a perceived limitation from her living her life in the house of her dreams!
Today, declare your independence from limited thinking!
Allow Spirit to find solutions to problems that are keeping you living a life that is less than spectacular.
Celebrate your independence from anything that is stealing your joy or keeping you from living a life of peace and abundance!
As our forefathers declared, we have been given the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!

Independence Day!
Today is the day we in the US celebrate the day we declared our independence from England. At the time, our independence had not yet been acknowledged by England, but our forefathers wrote what has been known as the Declaration of Independence, and signed it, and put it out there for all to see. Then we celebrated!
I would like to suggest that today, there are many things in our lives which have outlived their usefulness, things that now we could very well live without.
What things do you have in your life which you would like to live without? Debt? Loneliness? Grief? Anger? Resentment? Sickness? A relationship challenge?
Just for today, declare your independence from these things! Thank them for their place in your past, for just in showing up in your life you were made aware of something that needed adjustment!
Go grab a piece of paper, and using our forefather's example, write down all those things from which you are ready to declare your independence!
Sign the paper! This makes it official! You are ready to be independent!
Now, celebrate!
"Wait a minute, Joy," you might say!" I have not yet seen the results of my statement of independence. Shouldn't I wait until I see it happen?"
NO! A thousand times NO!
If you are to birth something new into your life, you first have to let go of the old! Be gone, poverty! Thank you for letting me know that I need money to survive in this world. Be gone, sickness! Thank you for making me appreciate health!
Celebrate your independence! See your independence before the first shot is fired from the battle that is sure to ensue! Do you think your old patterns are going to go away just because you asked them nicely?
Now, you can frame that statement of independence up somewhere where you are sure to see it every day, or you can come up with your own ritual to seal it into your life.
Make sure you make your independence statement powerful and positive!
Our forefather's wrote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or to abolish it....
You can read the whole thing HERE.
Now, let me point out something to you. When this was written, not all men were considered to be equal. Some of the men who penned this actually owned slaves! Imagine that! They wrote something that they themselves did not even practice or believe! However, a seed was sown that eventually led to the abolishment of slavery. Today, we are still battling over whether some people have the same rights as others. I believe that because our forefathers wrote down and declared this to be a part of our government, eventually we will get it right! But not without a fight!
When you declare your independence, get ready for a battle! But you will overcome! Your independence will not come easily! But you are up for it!
If you are in a relationship and a person is treating you disrespectfully, put in your statement that all of your relationships are based on mutual respect, and you release any and all relationships that are not this way! If you are in a dead end job and you want to earn a living in a way that gives you joy, declare that you are able to earn a living doing what you love in a peaceful and life affirming environment! If you are battling a sickness or even an extra ten pounds, affirm that your body is a temple, and that temple serves your soul in the most healthy way possible!
I think you get my drift!
I hesitate to mention that this is the tarot card that depicts this message of declaring your independence from something or someone who holds you captive, but here it is:
Yep, you got it! The Devil card..
What is holding you captive? Are you ready to let it go?
Just for today, declare your independence! Let it go! Celebrate your freedom from whatever it is that holds you captive!
