As we get close to celebrating our country's Independence Day this weekend, the team at BLVD.com is feeling very grateful to be able to serve those who have served our great country. I took some time to think about what the 4th of July means and why it is called Independence Day. I couldn't help coming back to the word "independence" and its definition. Simply put, it is the freedom from control and dependence on others. As a country, we were able to gain independence from Great Britain in 1776 after years of war and loss. When we adopted the Declaration of Independence, America was able to come together as one nation through this separation. By becoming independent, we also became united. Words that describe this better than anything else come from the last part of the Pledge of Allegiance: "One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". With that, I am able to understand and appreciate our Independence Day that much more. We can't be divided if we are to be one nation. We must come together and overcome what life throws at us. We did it then. We can do it now. So let us celebrate our great country this weekend knowing we are all in this TOGETHER!

"Alone we can do little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller
My professional background stems from non-profit marketing and fundraising for a large children’s cancer hospital. Every day I was able to make connections and relationships for kids and their families going through devastating times. From securing small donations to large corporate support, it was all about providing hope that one day doctors and researchers would find a cure. It was truly an honor to be a part of something so important.
Just this past year, I came to work alongside my family for BLVD.com, a website dedicated to offering the latest information and resources for people needing mobility products. This was a dream come true for me as I have always wanted to combine more time with my family while still helping others. Our family has been in the mobility industry for over 35 years with the goal of enhancing the quality of life for people with mobility issues. This is the spirit behind BLVD and what I am most excited about sharing in my blog.
I love meeting new people and have found that volunteering is the best way to learn more about others and myself. Coffee keeps me going as do walks my pup "Kirby" and most of all being with family and friends. I invite you to check out my blog to learn more about how "together we can move through life better!"
