My Brother & Michael Jackson

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. My prayers are with the Jackson family and friends as they mourn his passing. Many years ago, in 1968 I believe, when the Jackson Five were first starting out, they performed at a private club my family belonged to in Miami for the club's annual July 4th celebration. I was around eleven years old and my brother, Geoffrey, had just recently turned five...on June 25th (of all days). Of course, the whole family was at the club for the festivities. Geoffrey was a mischievous little rascal back then (okay, he still has his moments!) Anyhow, the Jackson Five was getting ready to perform and, lo and behold, Michael was not anywhere around. An all-out search was commenced to find Michael, which took about twenty minutes or so, maybe longer...his parents were frantic!

Well, my dear Geoffrey and Michael were found in the men's work-out/locker room horsing around, as little boys are wont to do. Apparently, my brother had lured Michael to play with him before his "gig" started and they lost track of time. Of course, Michael's parents and brothers were relieved that he was found safe and sound, but both Michael and Geoffrey were reprimanded for disappearing without telling anyone where they were going. My parents were none too happy that all of the fuss was because of their son's antics...a wee little embarrassing moment for our parents, to say the least.

I know people have varying opinions of Michael Jackson, but I always remembered what happened that day and I'm glad he got at least a few minutes of true freedom to run and play without the dictates that must have been suffocating to a child in his family's situation. Imagine never really having any friends or, having your parents determining your every action...talk about oppression! So, thanks Michael, for the gift you were to the world...God bless you in spirit and may the light of heaven enfold you in its infinite love and care.

To my brother, I'm sorry Michael died on your birthday, but I know that you will always treasure the encounter in which you got to play with Michael Jackson so many years ago. I also believe he always remembered your kindness and playful spirit that special day. I love you and I'm proud of the gentleman you have become! A Super-Star in your own right!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

With love & light and, much appreciation,

Our Work MUST Continue!!!

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Clearly, after the hate-motivated attack at the National Holocaust Museum today, and the horrific consequences, our work toward a more loving, civil and peaceful Universe MUST continue! The Super-Star mission, and lifestyle, is something to share and share and share...then, please share the vision some more! I know the majority of people are disgusted when these types of crimes are committed by people who continue to spew hatred. We must continue to use the power of the Universe to promote Love, Civility and Peace through the Super-Star mission, and any other way we might think is productive to this end.

Our work MUST continue! I need your help to keep the message going...every day! Please send your thoughts and prayers to the families affected by today's tragic event...even to the family of the gunmen...they especially need our thoughts to change the tide of hate to one of love. Love, compassion and kindness must rule our lives. Together, we are mighty! Our work MUST continue!

Think - Live - Be - A - Super-Star!

In love & light and, with much appreciation,
Glenna :-)
