The Gratitude List

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. After asking for ideas for a topic for today's blog posting, a very good friend of mine, Cynthia, suggested I write about keeping a Gratitude List. I thought this a wonderful idea; she keeps one and reviews it on a daily basis; as well, she adds to it as she realizes the many things for which she is grateful. She is convinced the list keeps her focused on the positive. I think it's a great idea and I agree positive thoughts create positive outcomes. Really, the simplicity is akin to counting our blessings...the more we focus on what is good, in ourselves and others, the core energy produced by such thoughts becomes a tangible force of intention.

I am grateful for the basic needs of life...a roof over my head, food to eat and the blessing of life itself; however, I am inclined to find blessings in every facet of my existence. I would be remiss were I not thankful for my family and their unconditional love and support or, for the circle of friends, of both long and short acquaintance, who care about and love me or, for the many people who have affected my life in one way or another; mentors, teachers and so many more. The very act of being grateful is positive energy well spent.

So, I am going to start my own Gratitude List and will continue to review and renew its content everyday in order to fill my life with appreciation for that which is important. I am slightly overwhelmed by the thought of writing it all down, but I know it will be worth the effort. The energy of positive reflection will bring with it the many forms of abundance such an endeavor is bound to attract. So, get out your pens and paper and join me on an another part of the Super-Star journey. Thoughts, words and actions in Gratitude!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

In love & light and, with much appreciation,

An Accomplished Super-Star!

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Every now and then someone comes into your life who you just know is a kindred spirit...a Super-Star! I want to share a story about someone who, in my opinion, is exactly that, and then some! On short acquaintance to a friend of mine, Casey Lee Justice, came to the rescue by offering to help my friend; and, from what I understand, Casey has and does help many others whenever possible. This amazing woman spent untold hours - (probably more than a dozen!) - working on my friend's car so we could get the vehicle started and to a service facility; all that time and work in order to avoid a towing expense.

I am inspired by her charity of self - offering to help without being asked to do so, by the way she very simply said, "don't worry, I'm on my way," and, by her attitude that it was not unusual to be a friend - we certainly need as many like her in the world as possible! Her intelligence, talent and perseverance are also significant attributes which deserve notice. There are not enough words to describe what her sacrifice of time meant to my friend, and for that matter, to me. It's not everyday you meet someone who is willing to go out of their way, as she did - especially when you have only known them for a month or less.

The Universe does indeed provide miracles...some are certain events...others, are the people who come into our lives...people just like Casey. I am honored to have had the opportunity to meet her. Thanks, Casey, you TRULY are...A Super-Star!!! An inspiration to us all!!! Myself...I guess you noticed that I am duly impressed!

By the way, Casey Lee Justice is an accomplished and Award-Winning Professional in Motion Picture and Advertising arenas - doing work in a wide variety of capacities - check out her resume online at: http://www.media-match.com/profile.php?uid=1005316

Super Star Thoughts

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. I have not been attending to my blog postings as I had hoped and, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting or wondering, "What the heck happened?" Mostly, I have been on hiatus for a number of personal reasons, but foremost, is the fact that I suffer from depression. At times, the severity is such that I find myself unable to communicate the message that I so want to share with the world...The Super-Star mission and how very much I believe in its value and, how important spreading the message is for me...for us all. Although, regardless of my state of mind, I ALWAYS treat others with kindness and respect...it's a Super-Star way of living.

I do believe everything happens for a reason and, that in my case, the Universe was simply giving me a vacation. Life, with its inherent valleys and mountains, on which we traverse each day, is complex and yet simple in so much as we must stay focused on the present. This moment is the most important moment...right now...because everything we do in every moment affects the next. What we think, say and do in this moment has far-reaching implications which cannot be taken back. Once set into motion, the energy of our thoughts, words and actions take on a life of their own...the ripple effect is a proven concept of the logic of physics...just as a pebble thrown into a pond produces rings that seemingly multiply without effort, so too, does our energy.

We are the Universe and, the Universe is us. The tapestry we are weaving with our lives continues to blend with all the peoples of the world, and the big picture we are creating is so very beautiful and has the power to enlighten the world to what is really important - caring for each other with attentive and helpful understanding and compassion; being polite, courteous and gracious as we interact; being earnest, sincere and respectful in our actions; and, of course, being honest and trustworthy in all we do and with all our heart and soul. A Super-Star way of life is worth the effort...no matter what obstacles we each face...dividends we can only imagine are just around the corner.

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

With love & light and, much appreciation,
Glenna :-)

Happy Labor Day 2009

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!

With love & light and, much appreciation,

Positive Forces

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well and, having a great summer! In keeping with the Super-Star mission, please keep sending the Positive Force of your thoughts, words and actions into the Universe. When you see someone who seems sad, send them positive vibes; when you recognize that a negative situation is brewing, send out your positive vibes to those who need your help; when all is well, continue to think, say and do the positive thing. The Positive Force, of us all, is a mighty tool indeed, and one which the Universe needs and appreciates.

The mystery of the Universe continues to unfold and show us just how very much of a difference we all make with our day-to-day lives...individually and collectively. We need only to really take a look around to notice the impact we make, let alone the impact we make as a united Positive Force. The possibilities toward the good of mankind, and of all the creatures of the Universe, are infinite...just as the reaches of the Universe are infinite and Divine.

Be a Positive Force in every thing, in every way and, forevermore!!! The mission is simple...the rewards are beyond imagination...but, the outcome is the destiny we choose by our very thoughts, words and actions as Super-Stars! Continue the journey of choice toward a more abundant life with the power of the Positive Force!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

With love & light and, much appreciation,
Glenna :-)

Sincere Appreciation

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Appreciating the people in our lives is an important part of the process of nurturing our relationships and promoting Love. We may show our appreciation in a variety of ways - verbally, with actions or, a combination of both. It is important to let our family members know how sincere we are and, how much we appreciate having them in our lives. Letting them know we love them, even when they might not act as we wish they would...perhaps, we are not meeting their expectations either, but then expectations tend to get in the way of reality. All individuals hope that the decisions which they make are respected...without us putting our own expectations on those decisions....this is a two-way street, as is most everything. Either way, appreciating our family members nurtures them but, is also self-serving because the benefit of Love is never wasted. Duality is the way of the world...the yin and yang.

Appreciating our spouses or partners...an extension of our family ties...is important so that they know we are not taking them for granted; that they know having them in our lives is important and special; and, that they know we choose to be with them because of our Love for them and more. It is just as important to receive appreciation in return for all those reasons. Love and trust are the bonds of the relationship; however, knowing you are appreciated and, being reminded that you are, will definitely strengthen the relationship. Again, yin and yang.

Our friends are also an important and vital part of our lives. Taking the time to let them know how much their friendship means to us is paramount to maintaining a healthy and lasting bond. We Love our friends for who they are and hopefully we wisely choose those with whom we intend to spend time and emotional expense. Trust and Love will bear out in the long-term. Just remember to sincerely appreciate those people in your life who have impact and whom you Love; the reward will be worth the effort.

In love & light and, with much appreciation,

Happy Independence Day!

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Celebrate this day, which notes America's stand for independence from tyranny and, for the right of self representation. Go out today with the knowledge that so many who have come before gave their lives so that we might live in a free society. Martin Luther King, Jr. had it right when he said, "Let freedom ring...," Let's also be aware of his journey and how he preached to go forward in a peaceful manner to achieve that which was once very much only a "Dream." We must not forget that Peace did prevail as the victor in the process of the Civil Rights movement for ethnic equality...at least those many people of color, and others, stuck to their values of non-violence...I wish the opponents had had the sense to do the same. There is still work in this area, so please do your part as a Super-Star to enlighten those who may need help to see the light.

Without independence, or freedom, life is smothered and will eventually cease to reach its potential. Around the globe 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. is also noted as having said, "Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere." Justice is achieved through promoting Love, Civility and 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!!!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

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

(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.)
