This is freedom.
To be who you are where you are,
and not be afraid.
To be able to dream and
pursue tomorrow.
Trusting today.

This post was so spot-on reassuring for me that I didn’t even realize it was for the Fourth of July!
I’ve been sitting here wringing my hands…wondering if I was crazy to move here. And I just happened to read this post.
You’re right, this is a chance to follow one’s dreams…and what better place to do it, than in France? Thank you Corey… -
Happy 4th of July my lovely friend………….
I always leave my visits with you smiling after I have read your journal……….

YOu are a bright spot in our lives.

YES to every single word you wrote!! Just beautiful.
We are lucky that we live in the time that we do, where we are allowed have the freedom to dream. Many women went before us to make it possible for us to have the freedoms we enjoy.
A toast to all that make our world a better place, including you Corey!

Oh Corey, you must so in touch with the Universe to be able to always say the right thing at the right time for so many of us! Yes, the freedom to be ourselves is a glorious discovery and well worth the struggle, just like America. Happy 4th and thanks again for the consistency of your posts! (heart) leau

Courage –
I love how the French use this word!
Here Rebecca Phillips, an American in Paris explains it for the Chicago Maroon.
“In French, there are two ways to wish someone “good luck.” If you say “bonne chance,” it implies that they need dumb luck, the kind determined by fortune and the gods… So while my American friends may have wished me all the good luck in the world, I have found that what I need most is “bon courage.” My French dictionary defines “courage” as “moral fortitude; the strength of will which allows a person to persevere in trying times, to face danger or suffering, and to be firm.” -
Very beautiful and true.

simple and true

courage…the freedom to be yourself, how wonderfully liberating! Happy 4th July…Nel xo

How absolutely perfect, so true. This entry makes me stop and realize that, at this very moment, fear is what holds you back from enjoying much of what life has to offer. Thank you for making me pause and take a moment; to think about my courage and dreams.
