Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Today, I would like to address patience. In today's increasingly busy world, it is hard to find the patience to deal with so many of the things that seem to be rushing our way. Multi-tasking has become commonplace, but at the same time, it is becoming intolerable. The demands on our time continue to intrude on our peace-of-mind. Many people are fighting the good battle, but their patience is sorely tested.
We witness this trend in our own lives and the lives of our family and friends; in the way we and others drive - seemingly without thought to the safety of others - just so we get where we need to go as soon as possible; irritation that is easily riled by any number of situations, somewhat like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland - always late and in a hurry - with no time to waste; time has become a precious commodity, which is readily savoured when there is a break to be had. However, living a life based on the Super-Star principles requires immense patience.
Patience comes easily to some of us, but to others, it is a trial of the highest order. Patience can be cultivated with practice and diligence and I believe, is worth the effort. To not have patience with someone is to not be understanding, compassionate, polite or even helpful. I'll grant you, there are at times, limits to what we are able to endure, but if you are as patient as possible, the rewards may surprise you. Have the patience to slow down and smell the roses. Have the patience to help another. Have the patience to be a conscientious driver for safety's sake...the life you save may be your own.
Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!
In love, light and, with much appreciation,

Are You a Friend in Debt?
Hello Super-Stars. I hope you are all doing well. Are you a friend in debt? By that, I mean do you keep track of the favors you have done for others, expecting something in return? Do you feel resentment when you ask a friend - whom you have helped in the past - for help, and they are unable, for whatever reason, to be there when you need them? Have you never been in a position in which someone asks for your assistance and you are simply not able to help as you would surely prefer? Most of us have been in the position of needing our family or friends for support of some kind; whether it is emotional, financial or otherwise. Usually they, or we, are there when a need arises but, sometimes not.
I think it is important to go through life just doing what you can when you are able and not expect anything in return. If you see a need, offer help before they have to ask, if you are able. When we live our lives in this way - and then find ourselves in a position of need - it tends to turn out that miraculously exactly what we need will come our way, even when we have to ask for help. It is important to understand that if you believe and have faith, the Universe will provide what you need...not necessarily what you want...but, what you NEED...there is a significant difference.
Please don't hold a grudge against anyone for not doing your bidding. Believe that people do care about and love you no matter what. Don't keep track of favors - it is not in your best interest. Help as you are able, without expectation or debt. Live in the freedom of being and doing the best you can everyday. Nurture your relationships with others and rejoice in the reward of being a good friend, a good person and, a Super-Star!
Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!
With love, light and, much appreciation,
Glenna :-)

Happy Good Friday and Easter
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to send my best wishes for a wonderful Good Friday and Easter weekend to everyone. Although my Super-Star mission is for all people; those who are faith-based, those who may still be searching their souls for their own answers and life direction and, those who may be atheist or agnostic. The Super-Star message is Universal and I believe it transcends all theological teachings or beliefs.
Although I am a faith driven individual, my purpose for promoting Love, Civility and Peace, through the Super-Star venue, is because of my faith in the human spirit, my belief that with a value-based life we can all get along and live in harmony, that to do, and be, less than the best we are able each day, is to deny ourselves and the world of the immense possibilities we each contribute; as well as, the consequences of those possibilities. I believe the effect and impact our thoughts and actions make on the world creates ripples, and circles, of hope.
I am not a theologian, minister or preacher and, I am not interested in pushing my religious beliefs on anyone. I believe the choice to be spiritual, or not, is a personal one and, does not require organized religion in order to make our choices for us; again, I strongly believe if you have a faith relationship with a Deity, it is personal and not to be taken lightly, just as the atheist and agnostic have the right to their own personal beliefs...all without judgement.
However, for those of you of the Christian faith who are celebrating this Holy week, as I am, be resurrected in the hope and belief, that Christ's ascension to God in heaven for our sins and eternal salvation, as is represented by this week of worship, is the beacon of Light that guides our thoughts and actions to enhance our journey to be better people, to have those core-values that lead the way and, to become our own beacon towards Love, Civility and Peace.

Honor Versus Gossip and Rumor
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Sometimes it seems in this day and age that honor is a forgotten value, yet at other times, it appears in the most unexpected places by someone you may not have previously thought to be very trustworthy but, later found out your reservations about that person were unfounded and based solely on rumor and gossip; that you were wrongly led to believe poorly of someone without getting to know them yourself and make your own conclusion. When you base your opinion of someone merely on gossip and rumor, you are not being honorable to them or, to yourself. You are allowing someone else to form your opinions for you instead of being in charge of your own beliefs and positions.
To be honorable is to be worthy of the esteem of others. By this I mean that regardless of the circumstance, you act in a manner that engenders the respect of your family, peers, co-workers, schoolmates and countless other people in your life because you acted without conscious thought in an honorable way. Think about what you consider in yourself to be worthy of being thought of as honorable. I believe we all want to be considered as honorable people. Do you recall times when you assumed something or allowed someone to sway your opinion without giving the situation and the person involved proper scrutiny? I know most of us are guilty of doing this...we want our friends to like us so we go along with their viewpoint. This type of behavior can become a habit that is easy to fall prey to, but it is something that can be remedied by becoming more aware of the motivation of the person trying to sway you and realizing that what you are hearing is gossip. Listening to and spreading gossip can be hurtful in the extreme when all is said and done. Most of us have had the spreading of rumor and gossip harm us personally and yet we allow it to continue through us without thought to the consequences to others. I wonder why this is so? Do you have any comments that would open discussion on this topic? Please post them on the web site's blog comment link.
Living an honorable and trustworthy life takes little time. As they say, practice makes perfect; however, when we fail to uphold our end of the bargain, it is never a bad thing to admit a mistake. Being brave enough to concede that you have made a mistake is honorable in and of itself. Be brave enough to stand-up for what is clearly right. Be brave enough to not allow gossip and rumor to continue through you. Be brave enough to tell your friends that you might not agree with their opinion; that perhaps further information is needed to make a sound assessment based on your own opinion of the facts. It's the honorable thing to do and it feels good to make-up your own mind based on your own investigation and thoughtful regard. Be brave enough to accept responsibility for your honor if the situation warrants such action. The bottom line is...be brave, be honorable and, be a Super-Star!

Consequences of Choices
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. The last time I wrote about choices, I directed the conversation toward trust, since that is the foundation of all relationships. Now, I would like to discuss the consequences of the choices we make. The Universe's vibration is affected by each of our choices - especially those of the leaders of the world's nations; as is clearly evident with the status of world events as they now stand and, in many cases, have stood for millenniums - seemingly without an end in sight. The struggles and actions of the various peoples of the world for land and resources, the right to live freely or, for domination, have all had consequences. History is ripe with the victories and failures of the past, but it is the future that must now be considered; for the future holds us in awe of its possibilities.
What might we do now to help the future provide us with what we, the world, and the earth need? I believe it is imperative to move forward with positive choices, to use the "Super-Star" acronym as a basis for value-driven choices and, to make choices that allow the people of the world to come together for their common good and that of the planet; for the common good of humankind. To do less will most assuredly lead to more of the same. It is up to all of us to go forward with this in mind so that we may make wise and prosperous choices for the future. Our very lives depend on these choices.
The consequences of choices are clearly evident. The results of action versus non-action may differ, but either way, there are effects; short-term and long-term alike. Prudent choices, which are made with honor, and followed-up with proper and timely action, will decide how the world comes together for the good of all - one person at-a-time. Yes, one person at-a-time; we can make a difference with our daily actions - we must make the good choices - the sometimes hard choices - our best choices will enable the world to survive and thrive. I know we can do what we must. I stand in awe of what we can accomplish together - please join me on the "Super-Star" journey.

Sportsmanship
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. I got home not long ago from a night out at a local pub where they had a "Ladies Night Pool Tournament." I joined in the fun and met some wonderful women and had a grand time! Everyone was welcoming, friendly and enjoying the competition. It truly was a nice reprieve from my usual Wednesday night routine!
These ladies conducted themselves with respect for others, with good humor and in-line with what one would expect in a competitive environment. I believe everyone enjoyed themselves but, I was most impressed with the level of sportsmanship that was displayed by all concerned. Sportsmanship is defined as being either a gracious winner or a good loser...this was certainly the atmosphere that was created by their actions. I think it bodes well for the continued growth of this group of women congregating to shoot pool and socialize. I will definitely be back...I look forward to the adventure and making new friends.
I am writing about this because it speaks directly to the element of spreading civility as I have put forth within my mission statement. It proves that people can, and do, act with kindness and respect, with open hearts and minds, with humor and good will and, most of all, with honor. I was delighted to be allowed the opportunity to join the group. So, thank you ladies...I had a great time!
In love, light and, with much appreciation,
Glenna :-)
p.s. A shout out to Diane for running the tournament and, to Kenny for allowing the ladies to take over the pool tables for the night. Also, I'll be sure to bring my own cue stick next time :-)

Peace
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all well. I believe we need to re-evaluate how to promote peace. I wonder, as The Secret, The Laws of Attraction and other New-Age reverential books, which are becoming more and more popular and, rightly regarded with awe and inspiration, how come people are still having "Anti-War Rallies". The teachings of the aforementioned books speak directly to the essence of how to attract what we want in life by focusing on that which we desire. By even bringing up "War" in these rallies are we really attracting that which we wish to dispel?
Perhaps, if we had "Peace Rallies," the shift of the Universe's vibration would begin to change toward the peace movement and progress would be made to achieve this lofty goal. I am not speaking of just Afghanistan and Iraq or Israel and Palestine; areas in obvious need of peaceful solutions. I am speaking about the strife of people from the many regions around the world that live in fear on a daily basis. I don't believe peace is part of their everyday existence, but I am positive that they wish it were. I certainly wish it were.
Pray for peace, promote peace, join humankind's struggle for peace. Lasting peace. Loving peace. Civil peace. We all share the same planet, the same air, the same ideals. Let there be Peace on Earth. Let's hear the peace bell ring around the world. Live - Breath - Foster - PEACE!
