Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well and, that you are having a nice holiday weekend. Labor Day weekend is the "unofficial" end of Summer in many regions. The holiday seems to have morphed into just another three-day weekend which workers look forward to while not really acknowledging the reason behind the holiday. I have to admit, I like all three-day weekend holidays too. I do, however, like to ponder the basis for the various holidays, national and religious alike.
Labor Day, designated for the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is also a Canadian tradition. If not for the achievements of the pioneers of the labor movement, I can only imagine what our working conditions might be; we owe a huge debt of gratitude to those from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as those who continue the struggle for worker's rights around the world in this, the twenty-first century. As "Super-Stars," I believe it is appropriate for us to lend our thoughts, voices and actions to the cause of worker's rights. We live in an era that has seen many corporate abuses (the United States Government's interaction has at least shown some promise for improvement in this arena), but at the same time, many businesses are getting the message that doing the right thing is actually more profitable.
Now, more than ever, I believe it is in the best interest of our country, and all those persons still seeking work, for us to realize how very valuable the Positive Forces idea and its impact will produce from our collective power. I once learned that for many, working - having a job, is half of a person's identity. Over and above the monetary rewards employment offers, so too, does it offer identity and self-worth, as well a sense of belonging to a greater goal - a greater good. On this Labor Day, employed or not, we are all part of the same Universe...when one triumphs, we all reap the rewards. Remember, as Super-Stars, we are all one large Universal family and, that we very much impact our world...together we are mighty and capable of infinite greatness!
Think - Live - Be - A Super Star!
With love & light and, much appreciation,
Glenna :-)
