Happy Independence Day! As we celebrate this summer holiday, let’s pause to reflect on the foundation of what our nation was built upon - that all people have the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, a freedom often overlooked when in the midst of our everyday routine. In honor of our freedom, consider taking a few moments to think of the freedoms we enjoy and the people who have positively impacted your life. This may be the perfect opportunity to jot down what you’re grateful for and express gratitude to those who touched your life in a meaningful way. Writing it down solidifies it in your mind, is easy to do, and is something you can refer back to when you need an extra boost. In terms of expressing gratitude to people, don’t worry about how long it’s been. How would you feel if someone in your past reached out to you, out of the blue and shared how much of a meaningful difference you made in his/her life? More importantly, what closure and potential happiness would it give to you by doing this? Take this opportunity to make these next few days a spectacular celebration and appreciation of all the good in your life! Wishing you a safe and joyful 4th of July! Gilda (Jill-da)

Hey fellow wanderers As I sit here, miles away from the comforting embrace of my homeland, I find myself engulfed in a wave of nostalgia. There's something about being away from home that makes you yearn for the touch, feel, and aura of the place that shaped you. Today, I want to open up a conversation about that universal feeling of missing home. 🏡 Home is more than just a physical place; it's a collection of memories, traditions, and the warmth of familiar surroundings. Whether it's the aroma of home-cooked meals, the vibrant traditions that paint the tapestry of our lives, or the little things that make our homeland uniquely beautiful – these are the threads that weave the fabric of our identity. So, my fellow global citizens, do you find yourself missing the essence of your homeland? Let's share our thoughts in the comments below. What specific aspects do you miss the most? Is it the taste of a traditional dish, the sound of familiar music, or perhaps the annual festivities that make your heart ache a little? 📝 I've also created a survey form to dig deeper into this collective sentiment. Let's understand together what it is that tugs at our hearts when we're away. Your insights are valuable, and together, we can create a mosaic of experiences that connect us across borders. #MissingHome #WanderlustHeart #HomeAwayFromHome https://lnkd.in/gArcmrXC

Some interesting facts about St. Patrick’s Day: St. Patrick’s Origin: Despite being the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick was actually born in Britain. He was captured into slavery and taken to Ireland, where he later returned as a Christian missionary. No Snakes in Ireland: The story of St. Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland is a myth. In reality, Ireland has never had any native snake species to begin with. Leprechauns and Fairies: The leprechaun, often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, is derived from Celtic folklore. These ‘small-bodied fellows’ were believed to be fairies and were known for their shoemaking skills. “The Luck of the Irish” is a phrase that originally emerged in America during the gold and silver rush eras, when Irish miners were often successful in their endeavors. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not an old Irish saying but an American one, and it was initially used in a somewhat derogatory way to attribute the Irish miners’ successes to luck rather than their hard work. Over time, the phrase has taken on a more positive connotation, celebrating the Irish for their perceived good fortune and resilience, especially in the face of adversity. Today, it’s commonly used to express good luck and is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
