Feeling Free

By Maria Shriver

Follow @mariashriver

With Fourth of July celebrations just around the corner, I've been thinking about freedom and what make me feel free.

The times when I feel most free are also the times when I feel most alive.

I feel free when I do something unexpected, even to me. I feel free when I dance. I feel free when I pray. I feel free when I laugh.

What does freedom mean to you? What makes you feel free? When was the last time you felt free? What did that feel like?

Join the conversation: Can you capture what freedom means to you in a few lines in the comments section below? How about capturing what freedom looks like or feels like in a photo? If you send me your photo with a short note of explanation, I'll include them on this Pinterest Board.

Happy Independence Day!
