Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. This is an edited repeat of last year's posting, but I feel it is still a good question...I was asked to write about how you would gift someone with a present of happiness and peace in a small box. My answer would be to say that this is a gift we are only able to give ourselves; only we are responsible for our happiness and peace-of-mind. Although we are always trying to make others happy, we truly succeed when we are able to create our own happy and peaceful existence. This state-of-being then becomes contagious to those with whom we come into contact; our family, friends and others. The ripple effect of our thoughts, words and actions will always spread outward...it is a Universal law.
However, I think it would be nice to be able to give happiness and peace in a small box to anyone and everyone. Imagine the changes that would be wrought in the world. Happiness and Peace...what a concept...oh, that's right, as Super-Stars we are promoting Love, Civility and Peace. The world we are creating through this process and mission is full of happiness and peace. So, go ahead and put together boxes and mark them, "This box is full of happiness and peace for you," and give them to everyone you know. Ask them to make their own boxes and gift them with the same instructions, and so on and so on, to continue the happiness and peace box project.
There are many ways to make the world a better place and I think this is a great idea. I must thank Nina Rivera for the question about how to give someone happiness and peace in a small box. If even one person finds happiness and peace, it will have been worth the effort. So, THANKS Nina! You truly are a Super-Star! Also, thanks Nina, for your warm Christmas wishes this year...Love YOU!!! May happiness and peace be with everyone!!!
Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!
In love, light and, with much appreciation,

Happy Holidays!!!
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. I sincerely wish you Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. This time of year brings many families, and their friends, together in love and light and, I hope your life is filled with those and so much more. Take the time to enjoy each other and share yourself with your loved ones. It is up to us, especially at this time of year, to promote Love, Civility and Peace....from our heart and soul! A genuine place to begin...and, the place where the wonderful feeling of Love and Blessings abound!!!
The New Year is right around the corner and, with that in mind, begin to think about where you want to be in your life this time next year. What kind of changes, if any, do you intend to implement into your daily life? How will you reach the goals you have set? And, what will you leave behind in order that you might give yourself room to grow? Trust your intuition to make the most of everyday...keeping a journal will guide you into the abundance that your life is...and has always been...BELIEVE IT!!!
Clearly, this time of year can be stressful, but, it is also a good time to take stock of our lives and make plans for the best possible outcome. However, take a deep breath and...remember to be kind to yourself and others; set reasonable goals; and please, continue to spread the Super-Star message to enlighten the world and truly promote Love, Civility and Peace! Merry! Merry!! Merry!!! God bless and Godspeed!

The Greatest Gift of All, by Steve Goodier
Hello Super-Stars I hope you are all doing well. Steve Goodier encourages his readers that blog to share his messages and I have to say, this one is a keeper and, one that must be shared (I have made a few minor edits, but the story is the same.) I hope you find it as inspiring as I did and, that as Super-Stars, we will be a positive force that will enable us all to give and receive...
"What do YOU want for Christmas? Or, if you don't celebrate Christmas, what do you want for your life. For your world? For me, what I want cannot be bought or gift wrapped. What I want most can best be summed up in words like "faith" and "hope" and "love." For myself, I want faith. Faith enough to see light in even the bleakest of situations. Faith enough to believe that goodness will prevail in the end. For my loved ones I want hope. Abundant hope. Hope in tomorrow. A hope that helps them believe that better times lie ahead so they can take that next step. For my world I want love. And, I believe that the solutions to most of our biggest problems will only be found when we decide that we are indeed one family. The problems of war, health care, crime in city streets, immigration and unemployment take on a different hue when I am talking about my brothers and sisters whom I love dearly. Do you also want things you can't buy? What if we all decided to go after those things this year...the things that truly matter? That could be the greatest gift of all. -- Steve Goodier.
Love, Civility and Peace will indeed solve many of the world's problems if we give the Greatest Gift of All...through our thoughts, words, and actions on a scale of Universal proportion and healing, which is possible, when we join together promoting The Super-Star mission in every way we are able and, with every breath we take.

THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL
A little boy and girl were singing their favorite carol in church the Sunday before Christmas. The boy concluded "Silent Night" with the words, "Sleep in heavenly beans." "No," his sister corrected, "not beans. Peas." The story reminds me of the wonderful and hectic holiday season many of you are now enjoying. Dave Garroway was, for many years, the host of the TODAY show on NBC television. Someone once asked him about his understanding of Christmas. He replied: "I've noticed that when people are asked what they want for Christmas, nine times out of ten, they answer with something material. That used to be amusing to me, but it's not amusing to me any longer. I happen to be one of those people who can afford anything he wants, but I find what I really want, I can't buy at any price. I want peace of mind, peace of soul; the kind of peace you have when you don't really want anything.

Thoughts on the Holiday Rush
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. During this time of year, through the hustle and bustle to get the shopping done, bake the cookies, send out holiday cards and, attend all those lovely parties and events, can be just a wee bit overwhelming (don't forget all the fun you'll have wrapping gifts too!). Okay...so, take a deep breath and slow down...I believe now is an excellent time to remember to be Polite, Courteous and Gracious. Plus, add a BIG DASH of patience, as well as the other Super-Star acronym's attributes to your way-of-life, and surely this year will be your best Holiday season yet! The Good Will of the season will naturally help spread the Super-Star spirit of Love, Civility and Peace; imagine what a difference we will make if we all slow down long enough to appreciate those around us simply by doing things, and encouraging others, in the Super-Star fashion.
The many beneficial consequences that will be produced if we all practice and, therefore, make these quality values a habit of our everyday lives, especially now, are immeasurable. Why does it matter if we are Polite, Courteous and Gracious? How does the way we treat others affect us? Or, affect those with whom we encounter? These Super-Star values are an important factor in the overall ripple effect our actions have on the Universe. The consequences of all our actions are both tangible and non-tangible. For instance, when you practice these Super-Star values, you may see an immediate response in kind which will brighten your day and, being nice to others as we traverse our life is good Karma; the non-tangible effect may be the regard and respect you are afforded in future (the good Karma coming back to reward your previous efforts). So yes, it matters to be Polite, Courteous and Gracious. It is also a superb way to promote Love, Civility and Peace!
The manner in which we treat others affects us on so many levels; the return on the investment we make by being nice will come back to us when we least expect it and, when we most need it; the Universe is set-up to give back to us that which we have put forth - I don't know about you, but I prefer people being nice to me. The world is a diverse community that deserves our regard and kindness. As Super-Stars, it is our job to spread the message; it is responsible to think, speak and act in a positive manner; and, it's the right thing to do. So, go forward as Polite, Courteous and Gracious individuals...it's a good habit to cultivate.

December 1st - World AIDS Day
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. December 1st is designated as World AIDS Day. This virus continues to plague millions of people around the world and many organizations are contributing in unparalleled ways to bring those who have the disease, and their family members, the various help they need just to survive another day. Many advances have been made in research and development to fight this dreaded ailment, but neither a cure nor a vaccine have as yet been discovered. Although, the advances in the pharmaceutical arena are offering hope for longer lives through proper medication combinations, these drugs do not work for everyone and AIDS is still a life-threatening diagnoses and, many children are now orphans as a result of this devastating Worldwide pandemic.
As a gay woman, I have seen first-hand the ravaging affects AIDS has had on my friends and the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered) community as a whole. I have lost all my male friends from the 1980's era to the disease and I am very proactive in talking to the new friends I am making to ask them to please practice safe sex...all the time...every time! I will also tell you now that all people, gay or straight, should be doing the same...knowledge is power and I implore you to be informed and stay safe from all sexually transmitted diseases. You have the power to make a difference by being safe...ALWAYS!!!
Please take the time to learn more about how you might help local organizations provide the services that are so desperately needed by so many; medical services including pharmaceutical regimens, housing, food, companionship and caring - to name a very few. In these economically challenging times, the services these people depend upon are being compromised by budgets that are strained to their limits. A small donation, or even an hour of your time would mean so much to the people in need. I know that together we can make a difference...we're Super-Stars! Please forward this posting to all your friends in order to help get this very important message out. THANK YOU!!!
