It's July. July is a month to celebrate independence. As an independent woman, I think we all need
to celebrate the independence of ALL nations (even the ones I can’t find on the
map).
Other than our own 4th of July, there are over 20 national independence days in July. France celebrates Independence on Bastille Day on July 14 (I eat cheese platters and drink wine), Argentina celebrates on July 9th (a great reason to throw a Malbec tasting) and Peru celebrates on July 28th (perfect excuse to try Peruvian wines).
Sometimes, I get so carried away with the joy of FREEDOM that I dance like an independent woman.
Frankly, there are so many things to celebrate about independence, like having a voice (even if nobody else wants to hear you sing with it). All us "Jane Does" in the USA started to find that voice in 1919 and then exercise it on August 26, 1920 when the 19th Amendment was ratified females finally got the right to vote. It's been less than a 100 years!
Maybe my independent woman dance should be the Charleston!
