"The countdown continued for eleven days until July 4.” Join me in the July 4 countdown and welcome as we approach Independence Day. I can't stop thinking about the blessings that we still enjoy in a place like the United States of America. I often feel mesmerized when I see how we can practice freedom of speech, authenticity, and liberty thanks to those who fought and died for others to have a better life.

Also, allow me to introduce myself. July 3 is my birthday, and most importantly, I celebrated the second anniversary of my Memoir in July. I feel joy and pride to have been able to self-publish a memoir that not only opened the door to a new beginning for me, but more than that, gave me the satisfaction of being my authentic self and on the road, hoping that others can fulfill their dreams.
