Trusting...

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Trusting requires faith...in ourselves...in others...in the possibilities. The Universe supports this trust with positive results. Think about it for a moment...when you are hopeful and grateful for that which you trust will be...well then, so it is. The timing of receiving these gifts of our trusting thoughts, words and actions is well placed if put in the hands of the Universe. This truth is often overlooked, but nonetheless before us time and again...if only we trust.

Hmmm. The more we become connected to the Universal flow of life, and our impact upon it, the more we will be trusting of the positive outcome. Trust is the foundation of all...the foundation of our very existence. Wow! Wrap your thoughts around that...the solid foundation of all relationships is TRUST. This extends to our relationships with ourselves, others and everything we might imagine.

Exactly. WOW! So, trust in the positive outflow of your thoughts, words and actions. Trust that the Universe is aligned with our collective belief that all is in Divine order and, that whatever is happening right now, this minute, is the result of this collaboration we continually create and recreate together. There is a continuum of the natural order of the Universe. As the saying goes, "The truth shall set you free!" Well, my truth is in the way I live my life...promoting the Super-Star mission of an ever widening sphere of Love, Civility and Peace. The possibilities are endless...trust is paramount.

Universal Teamwork

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Teamwork is described as, "Work done in harmony by a group of people for a common cause." The 2008 Summer Olympics opened in China yesterday amid much fanfare and an incredible opening ceremony which, in my opinion, was truly a masterpiece of creative teamwork. Many of the sporting contests will require intense teamwork, while others will be determined by the ability of a lone athlete; yet, it is through the teamwork of coaches and such that the lone athlete has reached the pinnacle of competing at such a coveted event as the Olympics.

Consider the strength a Worldwide team promoting Love, Civility and Peace would accomplish. Imagine millions, and even the billions, of people around the globe working in concert to reach the goal of a "Super-Star" world. Yes, there is much to be settled between the various peoples of this planet Earth. However, living a "Super-Star" life, promoting Love, Civility and Peace by a coordinated Universal Team would surely bring about infinite results and allow the world to realize a brighter future.

I believe the role of "Super-Stars" is to bring about a world of Love, Civility and Peace and is more than worth the effort. The many Olympians on the verge of showing the world just how much their dedication to training, coupled with their intense desire to achieve their best, is a fine example of what is needed to succeed in any arena. Let's all practice Universal Teamwork as "Super-Stars" promoting a world of Love, Civility and Peace!!! "Work done in harmony by a group of people for a common cause."

Looking Beyond the Surface

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all well. This week marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of my father, whom I had the extraordinary pleasure of living with and caring for in his last year of life. He was an incredible person...a gentleman's gentleman...a kind man whose love of life, and especially golf (his true passion), were the cornerstones of his principles, which had been passed down through the generations of our family. He always saw the bright side of what otherwise might have been a difficult situation. He was very well liked and my neighbors still offer their memories of his kindness. His sense of humor was enhanced by a quick wit and a memory for details that was amazing to witness. I am glad to have become his friend and he mine.

My father once told me a story about his grandmother, who was taking the Trolley into Glasgow, Scotland to do her shopping and, to pick-up all of her parasols which were at the repair shop for minor repairs. Now, this was back in the late 1800's when women had parasols to match every outfit they owned. Well, as luck would have it, it was a rainy day, not an unusual occurrence in that part of the world, but she didn't have a parasol because they were all being repaired. So, when the Trolley came to her stop she accidentally picked-up the parasol of the woman sitting next to her, out of habit, and started to disembark. The woman stopped her and said, "that's my parasol Missy." To say the least, my great-grandmother was mortified at her error and immediately offered her apology, returned the parasol and got off the Trolley; red-faced and embarrassed beyond belief. Of course, she did her errands and picked-up the dozen or so parasols that had been repaired and went back to take the Trolley home. As luck would have it, or not, depending on your sense of humor, she ended up sitting next to the same woman from the morning trip. Upon seeing all of the parasols my great-grandmother had, the woman said to her, "Och, I see you've done a fine job for yourself this day!" Well, it took a little explaining, but the story was straightened out and they both had a good laugh. I too got a good laugh when my father relayed this story!

The moral of the story is not to assume the worst even though the evidence may seem to suggest otherwise. Thankfully, this woman allowed my great-grandmother the opportunity to set the record straight and, in doing so, found the humor in it all and, I understand that they became friends in the process. Assuming any conclusion without first finding out the real story is a disservice to all parties concerned. Remember, go forward with love, act with civility and, in the process, spread peace.

Trusting

Hello! I was attending a 50th wedding anniversary party last month and, while speaking with an elderly woman I had just met, I learned that she had lost her wallet while Christmas shopping. She, of course, had immediately contacted all of her credit card companies to report the loss and was worried sick that someone would use her credit cards or steal her identity. You hear about the horrors of those things happening all too often these days. However, her wallet was found and given to the lost and found department of the store. They, in turn, contacted her and the story ended on a happy note. Thank God.

What I found interesting was how quickly we think the worst - we humans seem to be programmed that way. I asked all the people at the table where I was sitting why we now expect dishonesty - instead of trusting someone to find the wallet and turn it in, as was done in this case? Why do we consider ourselves to be trustworthy, but not others? No ready answers were forthcoming from the others. Yet, we all felt that we would be trustworthy - that we would have turned in a wallet we found.

I think that if we started believing in honesty first, we could change the course of nature and use the universal law of attraction to bring more trust back into our lives and back to the world. Should we still report the loss? Absolutely. However, having faith that all will turn out for the best may very well be the energy that will lead an honest and trustworthy individual to find the lost wallet, as happened in this instance.

Do you consider yourself to be honest and trustworthy? Would you have turned-in a found wallet or other valuable? Are you living a Super Star life? I am. Am I perfect? No, I'm not, but I try everyday to do the best I can and that's all anyone can ask. I have discovered that going forward with the Super Star acronym as the basis of my core values, and by promoting love, civility and peace in the process, my life is more fulfilling and I believe yours can be too. So I ask you to please...

Think - Live - Be a Super Star!

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