Dear America,
You were not the place I was born, but you became the place that birthed a new version of me. I arrived in my twenties—full of dreams, hope, and fire—and what I found was not perfection, but possibility.
This land expanded my horizons, challenged my limits, and offered me the freedom to evolve.
America—a spiritual force born of rebellion, courage, and the sacred belief that we are all created equal. You were built by visionaries who believed in something higher than themselves—The Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the living, breathing soul of this nation.
Â
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “I have a dream.”
That dream did not die with him. It lives in all of us who still believe in the power of peace, in the healing of hearts, and in the sacred duty to lift one another up.
But lately, it feels like we've forgotten.
Division has deepened. Kindness feels rare. Forgiveness is seen as weakness.Â
We’ve let our minds become battlegrounds. We've confused being right with being wise. We've buried our hearts in opinion, ego, and judgment—and it’s suffocating our shared humanity.
We are divine beings living a miraculous experience on Earth. And yet, we forget. We let our thoughts—our past, our newsfeed, our programming—pull us away from what truly matters.
Â
This July 4th, don’t just celebrate independence. Practice it.
Free your mind from the grip of your own limiting beliefs.
Free your heart from the weight of resentment.
Free your spirit from the illusion that you are alone in this.
You’re not.
Most people want to do good. They’re just scared.
Most people want to connect. They’ve just been hurt.
Most people want peace. But peace starts with you.
So open your heart. Listen deeper. Forgive faster. Love louder.
We are one people, under God, with liberty and justice for all.
Let’s not wait.
Let’s be that.
Now is the time.
Now is all we have.
And now… is enough.
Peace to all,
In love, service, and freedom,
Violaine
