And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

I was recently asked to contribute to Gravy SD's "Monday Morning Work Inspiration" Spot. The first thing that came to my mind was the 4th of July...and my FREEdom to create! This is what I wrote:
My inspiration comes from so many places…the color of the sky, what side of the bed I wake up on or the sound of the ocean on an early morning stroll. However, this Monday, I am inspired by the FREEDOM to inspire to do and be anything that I want to be. How amazing it is that we have the ability to dream and create anything we want in this beautiful country we live in.
I often look at an American Flag that was given to us by a dear Marine family who lived in our neighborhood during 2 tours in Iraq. This family exemplified the sacrifice that so many have made for me and you! This flag was proudly flown over the Iraqi desert on the anniversary of September 11th! WOW! It still gives me chills when I think about that image…scorching desert, dust, proud marines, and my flag! So, every national holiday, we fly this special flag to remember and thank all of those who have served to allow me to create and play with paints, colors and clay! What an amazing gift! The gift to freely inspire to be anything!
Happy Fourth of July! Celebrate in our freedom!
Today my flag flies high!! Thank you Scotts for all you do!
