Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Today is the 231st anniversary of the creation of the flag of the United States of America, in 1977. The United States flag means various things to different people, but essentially, it represents the symbolism of the freedom and unity this country fought for, and attained, so many years ago. The founding fathers and their steadfast dedication to creating "A More Perfect Nation" is still, to this day, a work in progress. Today, however, I say, "Happy Flag Day," to all the Super-Stars of this great country; and, other Countries around the world that have embraced democracy...past, present and future.
The responsibility to uphold and fine-tune the ideals that were set forth in the United States Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights is an on-going process which must be addressed with human rights, dignity and freedom as the foundation upon which together we will build a better world. The Universe is depending on all Super-Stars to help in the formation of "A More Perfect World," through our thoughts and actions. Every one of us has the power to transform our world. Always strive to be and expect the best; this is the power that will spread the Light.
This is also Father's Day Weekend and I would like to pay tribute to my father, who passed away last year. He was a wonderful man who was a Gentleman, an avid and passionate golfer and, someone who lived a values-driven life...a Super-Star in his own right. I miss him and will always be grateful for his fine example and the many lessons I learned over the years of what it means to have values and how to live by them. He was also a patriot who believed strongly in Country and honor. Happy Father's Day, Dada...I know you are on the links in Heaven having as fine a round of golf as you ever imagined. What's that...a hole-in-one on every hole? I knew you had it in you! Love, hugs and kisses from your baby girl.
Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!
With love & light and, much appreciation,
Glenna :-)
p.s. Prayers and sympathy to the family of Tim Russert as they grieve the loss of a great son, brother, husband and father. Tim, you too were a Super-Star who lived a full life in such a short time...you will be missed and mourned by millions. Thank you for your service to the world.

Civil Rights
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. The month of June is symbolic of many historical Civil Rights accomplishments, as well as a time of celebration for other significant civility causes. June 6, 1944 saw the invasion of Normandy as the Allied forces invaded France to battle the Nazi regime and realize the eventual victory for the European Continent over oppression and genocide, which had been waged by tyrannical fanatics; the result of much sacrifice for the cause of civility and peace.
June 14th celebrates the adoption of the United States' flag, in 1777, as a symbol of our nation's freedom as a country. The flag has evolved and changed over these many years, just as America has done. Many civil rights's conquests have been waged and realized. Just this week, the Democratic National Committee has chosen an African-American gentleman, Barack Obama, to be the nominee of their party for the general Presidential election. Today, Senator Hillary Clinton graciously conceded her defeat in the Primary process; but again, having a woman as a Presidential candidate is historically significant and ground-breaking. We are witnessing history as we continue to move forward as a nation.
June is also the month that Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) people celebrate Pride events, which are being held around the country, to promote civil rights in that arena. As a lesbian, this topic is especially personal to me; I am a proud American and feel I am entitled as such to the many rights enjoyed, and taken for granted, by my heterosexual counterparts and friends. Yes, the cause for civil rights is ongoing; prejudice is alive and well...not just in America, but around the world, and I feel it is our responsibility to continue the push forward until ALL people are treated with respect and dignity. Promoting Love, Civility and Peace as a Super-Star is worth the effort, and history will eventually tell the story of our continued and combined conquests.

The MLK Dream
Hello again Super-Stars! I don't usually write two blogs back-to-back, but I thought it only appropriate to follow-up the blog about "Dreaming" with a note about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was assassinated 40 years ago today. His "Dream" lives on...thank GOD! It is hard to believe it has already been so many years, yet his vision has come so very far to unite our country and has impacted the world in countless ways.
As Super-Stars, I encourage you to continue the cause for civil rights for all people in every corner of the world; to do less is to deprive millions, perhaps even billions, of people their right to freedom and justice. As an American, I am proud of the work that has been done in the ensuing years since this great man's death and, I look forward to promoting Love, Civility and Peace through this venue and other works.
Please join me on this incredible journey for humankind. Raise the conscious vibration of the Earth and Universe with good words and good work. Respect all people regardless of their background or affiliation. The future promises good and prosperous opportunities for all if we are willing to come together for the common good of everyone. The time is now.
Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

Happy Birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Happy Birthday to the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!
When I started this web site and blog I can't say Dr. King was my inspiration but, as today is his birthday, and I reflect upon the impact he had on the world and the civil rights movement, I can definitely say that I think his life's mission was centered in promoting equality for all through Love, Civility and Peace.
This is not to state that I am in the same league as he; however, if I am able to touch at least one life through this venue by encouraging them to think about the choices they make and how those choices affect their life and their world, then I have accomplished much.
I just did an online search for "MLK" and was able to read and learn more about this incredible, inspiring and brave man. I encourage you to honor him by learning more about his life and the legacy he left by searching the Internet as I did. Words do not adequately express how important Dr. King's work was, and still is, to the world. The ripple effect of his life's journey will continue for all time. God bless you sir...you were a true Super Star!
In love and light,
