Thoughts on Maturing...

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. I have written before about my coming to realize that growing-up, or maturing, is a lifelong process. Whether we are at the beginning of our teen years or, in our twenties or thirties and beyond, there is an on-going process of realization that perhaps we may have behaved in an inappropriate manner at one point or another in the past. This realization is key to the maturing process. Making amends and admitting those regressions to the people they have affected is paramount to growing-up and making appropriate adjustments. The thoughts, words and actions we choose in this process will directly steer us toward being the value-driven kind of person for which the Super-Star acronym stands and, realizing the sought-after goals we set for ourselves.

When I was a teenager, I thought I knew everything and, of course, that my parents did not. It dawned on me in my early twenties that perhaps I was mistaken in those teenage beliefs, for which I readily apologized to my parents, and made amends for my actions as a teenager. It is now that I realize my parents had already been teenagers themselves and that they knew much more than I gave them credit for and, that each generation goes through the same rites of passage as they grow into young adults. I have found that the notion that we are "All grown-up" because we have reached our twenties is continually challenged as I get older. When we finally realize maturing is a lifelong process, we are able to forgive ourselves, and others, for perceived mistakes in order to move on in this life without guilt; it is very important to recognize our mistakes and make amends along life's journey.

Learning the truth about how our own thoughts, words and actions really do affect ourselves, and each other, is an enlightening and powerful experience. The fact that we are all on the same journey we call "Life," gives us the opportunity to acknowledge how similar we are and, in that spirit of togetherness, that we are all at various levels of maturity; which is not necessarily determined by chronological age, but rather by each person's experiences and their willingness to discover and grow with the lessons of "Life." Remember to be kind when you recognize that someone is on a learning curve and needs space and time to mature...in their own way...at their own pace...just as you need the same. Living a Super-Star life is a good place to start...the Universe will gratefully accept all positive choices!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

In love & light and, with much appreciation,

A Gift!!!

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Each and every one of us is a GIFT unto this world...this Universe we share. That's right...think about it...all of us, our family members and friends, are individually special...and, in so many ways that deserve recognition and affirmation. The impact we have in this life is so much more than that which we give ourselves credence. And, for that, we each need to acknowledge that we are a GIFT!!!

A Gift is a present to cherish; a treasure to behold; and, a giving of heart and soul. Our thoughts, words and actions are contributions to the whole; the source of energy which nurtures the Universe; and, as we give of ourselves, we too, receive much in return through the relationships we cultivate. Wow, as we collectively empower each other, our lives are richer for the effort...yes, truly and always, a GIFT!!!

With that in mind, please be continually cognizant of how important you are...how consequential your every action...and, how worthwhile you are as a part of the whole. Please continue to live a life that promotes Love, Civility and Peace and the Super-Star message!!! That is a GIFT I wholeheartedly endorse and give freely!!!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

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

Thank YOU!!!

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. I would like to thank all of my family and friends for your love, prayers and continued well wishes as I continue to recover after a heart attack I suffered just over a month ago. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it all. However, the prognosis is very promising and gives me much encouragement and hope for a healthier tomorrow.

The Super-Star blog and mission has been put on a back-burner as a result, but I am very much dedicated to continuing the journey. And, of course, I hope you will keep the message and mission alive too, as we watch our Super-Star future unfold. I know my passion for us creating a much kinder and positive world together is as strong as ever. We are the ones and the time is NOW! I truly believe the possibilities are as infinite as the Universe, which is ever growing and, supportive of our every effort. Please continue to cultivate the habit of Love, Civility and Peace.

Again, I thank you all. Know that I am doing as much as possible to recover fully and have begun a journey of healthier choices; some things are just not on the menu anymore...(ie. cigarettes, fastfood and all that junkfood I formerly consumed.) The Super-Star message and mission shall always be on the menu! So, please go forward promoting Love, Civility and Peace!!!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

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

We Make a Difference!

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. We Make a Difference!!! Simply by being Polite, Courteous and Gracious. When we interact with family, friends and others, these attributes, and more, will serve us well and, that will help spread the Super-Star spirit and message of Love, Civility and Peace. Imagine the many beneficial consequences that will be produced if we all practice and, therefore, make these quality attributes a habit of our everyday lives. Why does it matter if we are Polite, Courteous and Gracious? How does the way we treat others affect us?

The Laws of the Universe naturally and effectively expand the ripple effect our thoughts, words and actions have on the whole. The consequences of all this Makes a Difference! For instance, when you practice these quality habits, you may see an immediate response in kind which will also brighten your day and life...because, We Made a Difference! So yes, it matters and, together, we are collectively building a brighter future. Keep in mind that how we treat others inevitably affects how we are treated in return.

The return on the investment of the quality habits we practice, by simply being nice, will come back to us when we least expect it and, when it is most needed. The Universe is set-up to give back to us that which we 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 quality manner; and, it's the right thing to do. So, go forward being Polite, Courteous, Gracious and, so much more; they are all quality habits worth cultivating. We do, indeed, Make a Difference!!!

Positive Forces...

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. 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 all involved; 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 Positive Force!

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

With love & light and, much appreciation,

Taking the Lead...

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Sometimes I find it necessary to "Take the lead..." for situations that arise, which I have tried to resolve peacefully with patience and compassion, but then find myself at a dead-end. Point-in-fact...I tried to reason with a man who has an aggressive dog. His dog has attacked several other dogs at the dog park on more than one occasion. I had hoped to get him to at least consider that his dog is truly aggressive and a nuisance to other people and their pets who frequent this dog park. This is not the first time I have had this conversation with the same person. I, and many others, have seen time and again the actions of his dog. His excuse is always that it is the other dog's fault.

Unfortunately, this man did not agree with my opinion, nor the opinion of many of the other people at the park. So, I took the lead and called the police. I did tell him I was doing so, but I guess he didn't believe me, because he continued to stay at the park and, in the meantime, his dog was in two more aggressive situations. Sometimes you just want to scream!!! Of course, that would not help and, is not a very Super-Star way of doing things. Anyhow, the police arrived at the dog park and, after I showed them where he was...(trying to leave the park before encountering the authorities)...they eventually banned him and his dog from the park for at least six months. My thanks to the many dog owners, who came forward once the police were there, who confirmed and backed-up my allegations with the officers.

"Taking the Lead" is not always easy or comfortable, but some situations warrant action and this was one of them! Safety at the dog park is a mutual responsibility shared by all of the dog owners who use the facility. This man was duly warned and disregarded every single sign that his dog was a problem. I am hopeful that this man takes the time to realize how significant a responsibility it is to consider the safety and well-being of all. By the way, I do not even own a dog; I have gone to this park occasionally with a friend and her dog. She tells me there is now a collective sigh of relief from the other people who frequent the park. "Take the Lead"...be a Super-Star...promote Love, Civility and Peace!!!

Life's Lessons

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. As we mature throughout life - I believe this is a lifelong process - we are given many options from which to choose on how we want to be, and live. Some people take risky pathways, but others may be more careful as to where they focus their energies and innate gifts. Either way, living a Super-Star life, driven by the core values of the acronym, will certainly give you a place from which to help build a world of Love, Civility and Peace. While creating a value-driven life, it is important to remember that you are always learning and embracing new ideals, but it is just as important to teach these values and ideals as you grow. All of life's lessons are the building blocks of our existence.

Teaching and learning go hand-in-hand. Teaching, by using words and the actions to back them up, is most effective when done with an expectation of success - staying positive is crucial. I think it is also important to admit if you have made a mistake...think about the outcome...you are sharing a learning experience with someone else and, in turn, they too have learned the lesson. As well, appreciation for your forthright humility, will further the outcome. Sharing our values gives us the opportunity to teach each other, but also allows us to learn from those we are trying to help...including ourselves. The energy continues on and on...into the ripples of the principle Laws of the Universe.

Keep promoting Love, Civility and Peace. Teach and learn. Learn and teach. The effort will be worth your time as you make a difference in your own life, as well as the lives of your family and friends...and all their friends...and all the friends of friends...the infinite possibilities of the extent to which your thoughts, words and actions will resound is amazing to imagine. All is possible when we live and love through a value-based foundation.

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

With love & light and, much appreciation,
