    Juan Dear Friend,

    “LIMITATIONS live only IN OUR MINDS.

    But if we use our IMAGINATIONS,

    our POSSIBILITIES become LIMITLESS.”

    WE CAN DO THINGS WE DON'T EVEN DREAM

    WE CAN DO!  IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES!

    Give Generously Juan!
     
    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT GIVING ...

    "I have learned to GIVE

    NOT because I have TOO MUCH,

    BUT,

    Because I know the feeling of NOT HAVING

    and HAVING TO DO WITHOUT."

    FOR IT IS BY GIVING THAT WE RECEIVE!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LIFE'S STRUGGLES ...

    "It is your STRUGGLES,

    NOT your SUCCESS,

    that make you WHO YOU ARE;

    CHERISH THEM."

    ~ Mark Black

    LIFE CAN BE VERY TOUGH.  BUT TOUGH TIMES DON'T

    Make GOOD THINGS HAPPEN today Juan!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PEACE OF MIND ...

    "SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, PEACE OF MIND and

    FULFILLMENT – the MOST PRICELESS of human

    treasures – are available to all among us, without

    exception, who MAKE THINGS HAPPEN – who

    make ‘GOOD’ things happen – in the world around them."

    ~ Joe Klock

    THERE IS NO GREATER JOY NOR GREATER REWARD

    Sending LOTS OF LOVE your way Juan!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE MOTOWN SOUND ...

    In 1959, Berry Gordy gathered the best musicians from Detroit's thriving jazz and blues scene to begin cutting songs for his new record company. Starting with an $800 loan, Gordy turned MOTOWN RECORDS and Detroit, Michigan into "HITSVILLE U.S.A."

    Between 1959 and 1972,  this unheralded group of musicians had played on MORE # 1 HITS than the

    > BEACH BOYS,
    > the ROLLING STONES,
    > ELVIS
    > and the BEATLES ... COMBINED ~

    which makes them the GREATEST HIT MACHINE in the history of popular music.

    These great musicians called themselves simply
    the FUNK BROTHERS.

    I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN
    AND OWE MUCH TO THEIR RICH MUSICAL LEGACY.

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Hi Juan!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT KINDNESS ...

    "The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless,

    UNREMEMBERED ACTS OF KINDNESS AND LOVE."

    ~ William Wordsworth

    NO ACT OF KINDNESS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, IS EVER WASTED!
