Just the other day I was thinking I needed a cheap used beach cruiser to ride around town and voila this showed up for free on the curb near my house. Just my size too!
Now I’m thinking I need a million dollars….
About This Blog
Howdy and thanks for stopping by! I'm weirdly obsessed with individual liberty and feel it's not given enough credit as being a necessary factor for living a truly empowered and fulfilled life.
Whether it's self serving politicians who are constantly trying to make victims out of us, or the negative fixed narratives we impose on ourselves that limit what we can do, we are constantly giving up personal power over to some person or thing which ironically only shrinks our world further.
This blog is about sticking up for freedom and hopefully opening up a deeper conversation on what it's meaning is, how it enhances our own empowerment and why it's so important to protect.

I love those answered prayers! Amen.
So many times I have thought things like that, “hmmm, I’d really like to have this thing,” and next thing I know, there it is. LOL, I haven’t had much luck with the million dollars either, but there are so many tiny secret desires of my heart that have just suddenly turned up, that I know without a doubt that God is kind and interested in my happiness.

Most of what I wish for never comes true.
But I thank God for the desire.

It’s so true IB, God is so interested in us and our happiness. I had just recently prayed for Him to show me more of who He is and He’s been doing just that in so many ways. Million dollars or not! 😉

Sweet ride Tricia. Should be a lot of fun cruising around the hood. Don’t forget to have your fanny pack in front with your weapon of choice in it.
Pink is a target most of the time!

If a tax plan comes up short along with an alternative health care plan, you may just need that million dollars to satisfy your health insurance premiums and your tax bill! 🙂
Hope you enjoy the bike. Great way to get around town.

One of the best bikes I ever had did not cost much. When I was boy, we lived in Japan for about 4 years. I guess it was my second bike. I had beaten up the first learning to ride (the wonder is I survived). The second one was not new, but it had a surprise. Even though it had narrow rims (instead of big fat tires), it had coaster brakes.
Well, we were living in Japan. In those days, the Japanese were poor. So eventually somebody swiped it. I guess I was not the only one who liked that old bike.
Earth is some of the rarest real estate there is. Paraphrasing Carl Sagan, just being here is worth millions and billions and trillions…..

I have so many fond memories of riding bikes all day long as a kid. We’d meet up in the morning and venture out tot he woods or a friends house or wherever, maybe making it home for lunch, maybe not. I can’t imagine young kids today doing that without their parents calling the cops.
That’s so cool you lived in Japan. Were you a military family? I can’t open your video link for some reason…

Have the same memories of bikes. I rode to get around even while I was in graduate school and for exercise until I was in my 40’s. There are enough bike paths around here now I may take it up again.
I was a military brat in Japan. Was there from 7 – 11 years old. Liked Japan and the Japanese. They did not seem to be bitter about the war, and I did not see anyone trying to rub their noses in the defeat. My father fought in Europe, but he my mother just treated our stay there as work with a bit of added pleasure. Because Japan was still recovering from the war, labor was inexpensive. So in addition to being tourists we could buy things on an NCO salary we could have never bought stateside. The main downside was the Japanese cooked with hibachis. That bothered my father’s asthma.
Not sure what is up with the video link. I got it to work it both firefox and Microsoft edge.

That’s some interesting stuff Tom. I know it doesn’t really match the theme of your blog but you should consider doing a post on your time in Japan.
I’ll try the link when I get a chance on Firefox. I’ve boycotted using them ever since they ran their CEO out of the company for supporting traditional marriage but I guess I could use them again just this once.
