Happy 4th of July, Beautifuls!

Malala Day 2014. Together we are #StrongerThan fear. 

When I opened my eyes this morning, a little snippet entered my consciousness as I slowly came awake to greet the day:

Freedom yearned for
is freedom attained,
moment by moment
by moment.*

As we approach July 4th, I pondered the above and realized to have an aspiration is powerfully strong. Our founding fathers and mothers had the yearnings to live free deep in their bones and lived free before it was a reality. In our modern time, we might look to someone like our IC poster child, Malala Yousafzai. This beautiful young woman is getting ready to celebrate her seventeenth birthday on July 14. In exercising her North Star--freedom of education for all--she has a birthday wish, to be joined in speaking up for education. Her own journey started with a yearning and each step she takes attains what she yearns for--freedom of education. Her July 14th birthday slogan is the following:

"We are stronger than fear, hatred, violence and poverty."

Last year on her birthday, she stood before the United Nations and gave a moving speech regarding this idea of yearning: the journey, the obstacles and the spiritual ancestors she draws on for strength. Join Malala Day 2014 with every woman, man, boy and girl who raise their voices to achieve their goals of peace, education and equality:
