So Valentine's Day has now come and gone. Everyone is done running around for last minute gifts to give to their beloved. The stores have already moved on to promoting the next major holiday they can commercialize and bring in the most profit from. So what happens now to all those high vibrations of love that so heavily saturated the air just yesterday intoxicating us with every breath we took in and exhaled? Did all those "good vibrations" expire on Valentines Day at midnight and just evaporate like the carriage that turned back into a pumpkin in the Cinderella fairytale? I most certainly hope not. I admit, I too am a supporter of celebrating Valentine's Day simply because it is a day we set aside to honor the greatest and most powerful force in the entire universe. Also, because God is love and we are made in His image and likeness. Thus, the true essence of our being is love. For this very reason I believe our thoughts, hearts and actions should not be limited to being open to conscious vibrations and expressions of love for only two days a year...Christmas and Valentine's Day. Everyday should be looked upon with the same positive attitude and patience, generous acts of kindness and an open heart of compassion that we do on the day we have set aside as a society to honor and celebrate love called...St.Valentine's Day. In truth, everyday is a perfect day to celebrate and honor love. Why? Because everyday you are blessed to awake of sound mind and able body is another opportunity to express the love that God is, expressing in and through us all. So just because Valentine's Day is over do not let your efforts and actions to express love to yourself and other's be over and done as well. Let us remember the characteristics of love as defined in the attached image quoted from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.Love has many attributes but of them all let us make a more conscious effort to remember at least these few most important ones...Love is patient...love is kind...love is not rude...love is not easily angered...love keeps no record of wrongs. More simply stated, above all else, love is... patient, thoughtful, compassionate and considerate of others, respectful, and forgiving. Now that Valentine's Day is over you may have been thinking all the loving vibrations in the air are gone and unconsciously closed your heart and mind to expressing love. Instead, remain consciously open and aware of the love that is always readily available to you as the divine love in you waiting to be expressed through you in the unique way God created only you to be. Until next time...I surround you in Love & light! So remember to keep your heart open and your love light shinning bright. A One Love Production By Anna M.

Here are a few factoids you may not have known about Bob Marley: He was born to interracial parents, his father was European - Jamaican of British heritage and his mother was African-Jamaican. His birth name is Nesta Robert Marley and his first but a Jamaican passport official mistakenly switched around his first and middle name to Robert Nesta Marley. He was born February 6, 1945 on his maternal grandfather's farm in Nine Mile, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaican. And later, after marrying his wife Rita Anderson in 1966, he moved to the United States for a short while in Wilmington, Delaware to be near his mother who had moved there earlier. While living in Wilmington, Delaware he worked for DuPont as a lab assistant and on the assembly line at Chrysler under the alias name, Donald Marley. He was raised a Catholic by his mom and converted to Rastafari in the 60's after moving away from his mother's influence in Wilmington, Delaware back to his homeland Jamaica. Bob Marley, his wife Rita and his manager Don Taylor suffered gunshot wounds from an assassination attempt on his life on December 3, 1976 and he still showed up to perform for the concert he was preparing for two days later called, Smile Jamaica, organized by the Prime Minister of Jamaica at the time, Michael Manley. At the end of 1976 Bob Marley left Jamaica and lived in England for 2 years in self-imposed exile. Although Marley was a devout Rastafari for several years, on November 4, 1980 shortly before his death, he was baptised into Christianity by Archbishop Abuna Yeseshaq of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Kingston Jamaica. He was awarded the Peace Medal of the Third World from the United Nations in 1978. In February 1981, just a few months before his death, he was awarded Jamaica's third highest honor, the Jamaican Order of Merit making his official name and title Nesta Robert Marley OM. Bob Marley died on May 11, 1981 in Miami after a long battle with a form of cancer called melanoma that had spread throughout his body including his lungs and brain which was the cause of his death. Long after his death he continued to receive accolades and awards for his legendary contributions to music which included a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in February 2001.
