“The secret of happiness of freedom, and the secret to freedom, courage." - Thucydides Hello from Tulum, Mexico! How are you doing, friends? I truly hope all is well. We are right in the middle of summer. I hope your days are filled with delicious BBQs, the scent of tropical sunscreen, time spent by the beach or pool, and evenings under the stars. The 4th of July is coming up this week, and it's definitely a favorite holiday of mine. Growing up, my father was a Lt. Colonel in the army. As a kid, I celebrated Independence Day on a military base, surrounded by women and men who diligently served our country and fought for the freedom we happily enjoy daily. The energy was unmatched—the fireworks were often timed with cannons, and even the patriotic lyrics in the music hit differently. Celebrating the 4th on base, surrounded by these courageous soldiers, was magical. I feel incredibly grateful to live in such a beautiful country where we can enjoy these freedoms and celebrate together. Wishing every one of you a very fun-filled and safe celebration this year. XO Rebekah |
