Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Whether we make a mistake or do something spectacular, we are accountable for our actions. Everyday choices have a profound impact on our lives. When we err, it is important to make amends and repair any damage we may have done...this is especially important when dealing with people...loved ones, acquaintances and co-workers alike. To tell someone we are sorry, admitting our fault, and to ask for their forgiveness is the ultimate act of accountability and, a brave and right action. Hopefully, a relationship has not been damaged beyond repair, but if it has, you may go forward knowing that you took the courageous path. Keep in mind that a forgiving heart is a warm heart.
On the other hand, when we have accomplished something of note, it is ourselves to whom we are accountable. You will be most successful when you strive for the excellence that will feed your own satisfaction and not for the adulation of others. In the end, it is ourselves we must live with and, we will sleep much better knowing we have done our best. Yes, it is nice to get recognition for our accomplishments, but in the end it is ourselves we must acknowledge and love unconditionally; to do so, allows us to love others equally well. Keep in mind, it is also a good thing for us to congratulate those who have excelled or had something wonderful happen to them; being happy for an other's achievement is a loving action.
So, as you go forward in your daily activities, remember to take responsibility for your actions. Be brave enough to admit fault. Be open to an other's need to be forgiven...just as you will need that same reaction from time to time. Accountability is an important part of the "Super-Star" journey; be sure to give yourself room for thoughtful consideration of your actions and how they have affected your environment; be ready to take the brave and right action. Be thankful for all your blessings, and the blessings of others. Go forward promoting Love, Civility and Peace.
Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!
In love & light and, with much appreciation,

Milestones: The Life Markers We Hold Dear
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. The variety of milestones each of us have had mark significant advances we have made along this journey we call life. Losing your first tooth and waiting for the "Tooth Fairy" to leave money under our pillow; starting Kindergarten...my beginning in this was fraught with much drama but that is another story...okay, I spit in the teacher's face the first day...yes, quite the little hellion, but my older brother had scared the living daylights out of me and I was scared...I'm not sure that the teacher, Mrs. Swanson, was quite ready for the likes of me, but we ended up having a good year...I really was a nice little girl...at least that was what Mrs. Swanson wrote on her end-of-the-year note to me. Anyhow, back to our milestones...each year we celebrate many occasions; birthdays, anniversaries, religious events depending on our faith and any number of other significant events along the way.
Some of these events become precious memories which we treasure forever, some are forgotten as we grow older and perhaps become less attuned to what might have once been important to us, and yet others become things that always bring a good laugh...just like that first day of Kindergarten always does for me (please, go ahead, laugh all you want.) That wasn't a very "Super-Starry" kind of day for me, but I learned that spitting at your teacher was not a very nice thing to do nor, to do to anyone else for that matter. The point is that the memories we make are determined by the choices we have made. How we remember these events is influenced by how we thought and felt about the happening. And, the more important the event is to us, the more details we will remember and treasure.
My Step-Grandmother is turning an amazing 100 years old August 14th; most of the extended family of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and others from near and far are gathering this weekend to celebrate her birthday. I can only imagine the many milestones her life must hold. The good times and bad, the gifts that life gives and the losses endured, the transformation the world has seen since 1908; two World Wars, the Great Depression, and countless events and history witnessed during such a long-lived life. We too are making our own history each day we live and breathe. Are we making good choices? Are our thoughts and feelings being used to the good? Are we living a "Super-Star" life? I believe Nana would appreciate knowing that we are always doing the best we are able to make the world a better place. Happy Birthday, Nana...you go girl!!!

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."

The Weather
Hello Super Stars! I hope you are all doing well. For me, Summer tends to drag on and on as I wait for the cooler days of Autumn and Winter to bring their refreshing breezes and clear the oppressive humidity that is Summer in Florida. In the North, many spend the Winter hibernating and avoiding the cold...wishing for warmer days. The point is that we seem to be always wishing for the next thing and not enjoying what is today. It doesn't matter what the weather outside is...what matters is what the weather inside is...the weather inside of ourselves.
Regardless of the weather outside, we do have control over the weather of our own making; the weather inside ourselves. Some days it's sunny and bright...other days seem to go from one dark storm to another. We have the power to change our weather by not accepting the latter; but, by taking a moment to take a deep breath and redirect our thoughts into actions that support a sunnier outlook; a brighter day.
When we choose Light over dark, we have chosen wisely and, the outcome of our encounters along the road of life will reflect this Light back to us in many unforeseen and unseen ways. The Universal vibrations support and reflect back to us all that we have put forth. I am not perfect, but I do consciously try to always put my best thoughts and actions out there and I am pleasantly surprised, and grateful, by the Universe's response. Promoting Love, Civility and Peace has its rewards...the weather is beautiful, sunny and bright!

The "Genuine" Factor
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. The level of the "Genuine" factor in everything we think, say, or do has a direct impact on the people with whom we are interacting, on ourselves and, on the Universe. Take a minute to consider this theory. If everything in the Universe is connected in some way and, if everything that happens has direct impact to the whole and, if any one of us is not being "Genuine" toward our contribution to that whole...how does that affect the whole or, the Universe?
Take all the time you need to wrap your brain around that one. What I mean is that everything and EVERYONE matters...we are all connected in some way. I mean that we must be present in each moment in order to be fully engaged in that moment. I mean that taking a minute to actually listen to the response from someone when you ask one of those "automatic" questions like, "How are you?" matters. Being "Genuine" MATTERS!
A "Genuine" spirit is appreciated by family and friends because they know by our words and actions that we sincerely love them. The natural result of a "Genuine" way of living is a life which is lived from a central point of Love. Truly living your life from that viewpoint will be a life well lived...a life built on values...a life that is GENUINE! The Universe needs more people who positively impact the world...so, be "Genuine!" Another natural result is being a Super-Star...promoting Love, Civility and Peace...now that's "Genuine!"

Getting it Right
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Today's post is compliments of www.LifeSupportSystem.com
GETTING IT RIGHT
A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. He poked his father in the front seat and asked, "Daddy, why does my apple turn brown?" His father answered, "When the skin is removed from the apple, air reaches the flesh of the apple and causes oxidation. This changes the apple's molecular structure and results in a brownish color. After a long pause, a small voice from the back seat asked, "Daddy, are you talking to me?"
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing problems we all run up against. I want someone to explain how to get through difficult times or tell me what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right. But I think I identify a bit more with the father whose daughter asked him if he would help her with some homework. "I'm sorry," he replied. "It wouldn't be right." "Well," she said, "at least you could try."
"Problem is, I don't always have the answers I need. And nobody else seems to, either. So I blunder ahead worried that I'll never get it "right." But I'm beginning to learn something about not knowing what to do and making a poor choice. That is -- I don't HAVE TO always get it right. I don't have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from the mistakes and go on. The affable Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, "No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now." Which is pretty hard to do when you're waiting for the answers first...so, you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what? Forgive yourself and try again. Even if you don't get out of this world alive, you can get plenty of life out of this world if you're not too worried about always getting it right.-- Steve Goodier at: www.LifeSupportSystem.com

Happy Independence Day!
Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. The United States of America's fore-fathers and patriots knew that independence for this "New World" was the only way it could, and would, prosper and grow. Without independence, or freedom, life is smothered and will eventually cease to reach its potential. Really, we could have called this holiday, "Freedom Day," and the meaning would still stand. Around the world 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. had the right idea when he preached about engaging in peaceful ways to achieve the desired goal of equality and freedom...the independence to live your life to its fullest potential; and, in-turn, he knew the community and country would also prosper as a result; just as our fore-fathers envisioned the United States as an independent country. Fighting and war bears brutality, struggle and strife. However, Peace and prosperity go hand-in-hand so...let's choose 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!!!

(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.)
