Sincere Appreciation

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Appreciating the people in our lives is an important part of the process of nurturing our relationships and promoting Love. We may show our appreciation in a variety of ways - verbally, with actions or, a combination of both. It is important to let our family members know how sincere we are and, how much we appreciate having them in our lives. Letting them know we love them, even when they might not act as we wish they would...perhaps, we are not meeting their expectations either, but then expectations tend to get in the way of reality. All individuals hope that the decisions which they make are respected...without us putting our own expectations on those decisions....this is a two-way street, as is most everything. Either way, appreciating our family members nurtures them but, is also self-serving because the benefit of Love is never wasted. Duality is the way of the world...the yin and yang.

Appreciating our spouses or partners...an extension of our family ties...is important so that they know we are not taking them for granted; that they know having them in our lives is important and special; and, that they know we choose to be with them because of our Love for them and more. It is just as important to receive appreciation in return for all those reasons. Love and trust are the bonds of the relationship; however, knowing you are appreciated and, being reminded that you are, will definitely strengthen the relationship. Again, yin and yang.

Our friends are also an important and vital part of our lives. Taking the time to let them know how much their friendship means to us is paramount to maintaining a healthy and lasting bond. We Love our friends for who they are and hopefully we wisely choose those with whom we intend to spend time and emotional expense. Trust and Love will bear out in the long-term. Just remember to sincerely appreciate those people in your life who have impact and whom you Love; the reward will be worth the effort.

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

In love & light and, with much appreciation,

Happy Independence Day!

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Celebrate this day, which notes America's stand for independence from tyranny and, for the right of self representation. Go out today with the knowledge that so many who have come before gave their lives so that we might live in a free society. Martin Luther King, Jr. had it right when he said, "Let freedom ring...," Let's also be aware of his journey and how he preached to go forward in a peaceful manner to achieve that which was once very much only a "Dream." We must not forget that Peace did prevail as the victor in the process of the Civil Rights movement for ethnic equality...at least those many people of color, and others, stuck to their values of non-violence...I wish the opponents had had the sense to do the same. There is still work in this area, so please do your part as a Super-Star to enlighten those who may need help to see the light.

Without independence, or freedom, life is smothered and will eventually cease to reach its potential. Around the globe today, many people are still fighting for their freedom and independence from tyranny and aggression. Some fighting has been going on for so many years, and in so many places, that I think perhaps its time to put forth our energies toward finding peaceful ways to reach the much desired goal of independence. Martin Luther King, Jr. is also noted as having said, "Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere." Justice is achieved through promoting Love, Civility and Peace. So, rejoice in the independence we enjoy...ring the freedom bell...watch in joyous reverence the fireworks which illustrate the celebration of our country's Independence!!! Pray for the peoples of the world who are still seeking the freedom to live a full and prosperous life and, that they will find salvation in that freedom. Go forward with Love, Civility and PEACE!!! Then one day there truly will be PEACE ON EARTH!!!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

In love & light, and, with much appreciation,

(A personal note...I feel it is unfortunate, however, that the Native American culture of this land was decimated in the process of the United States seeking its independence, but I am glad the Native community was not completely wiped-out and is now revered as should have been done from the beginning.)
