Yes. It has been far too long since The Sparkle Project has, well, project-ed? But, with the spirits of independence and patriotism floating through the air today, what better time to sparkle a little bit? Also, sparklers are definitely an Independence Day tradition.
I wrote this a while ago, after seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time.

FREE
I saw the Statue of Liberty for the first time today. I mean, for the first time in person. I was overwhelmed. I thought of all of those who came to this country to be free. “Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” How amazing is that? People came here for freedom. More than that, they came here for asylum. They came here to be whomever they wanted. They came to this country because it is a place where no one could tell you what you were supposed to believe or who you were supposed to be.
