My dear Readers

I am on President Barack Obama’s mailing list, a list I joined during his campaign for presidency.  (You can join that list too if you wish by signing up at www.mybarackobama.com).

Today, I received an email from the President expressing his sense of loss, gratitude, respect and admiration for Ted Kennedy.

There can’t be too many people in the world who’ve not heard of the Kennedy’s especially the two who served in the White House.  And although the lives of the Kennedys have been mired in controversy and misgivings over the years, it would be unfair not to acknowledge the good work that they’ve accomplished.

I join with many in being grateful for all such good work and join in spirit those close to him in their time of loss.

Blessings on us all,

Lucy

Dear Lucy

Michelle and I were heartbroken to learn this morning of the death of our dear friend, Senator Ted Kennedy.

For nearly five decades, virtually every major piece of legislation to advance the civil rights, health and economic well-being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts.

His ideas and ideals are stamped on scores of laws and reflected in millions of lives — in seniors who know new dignity; in families that know new opportunity; in children who know education’s promise; and in all who can pursue their dream in an America that is more equal and more just, including me.

In the United States Senate, I can think of no one who engendered greater respect or affection from members of both sides of the aisle. His seriousness of purpose was perpetually matched by humility, warmth and good cheer. He battled passionately on the Senate floor for the causes that he held dear, and yet still maintained warm friendships across party lines. And that’s one reason he became not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy.

I personally valued his wise counsel in the Senate, where, regardless of the swirl of events, he always had time for a new colleague. I cherished his confidence and momentous support in my race for the Presidency. And even as he waged a valiant struggle with a mortal illness, I’ve benefited as President from his encouragement and wisdom.

His fight gave us the opportunity we were denied when his brothers John and Robert were taken from us: the blessing of time to say thank you and goodbye. The outpouring of love, gratitude and fond memories to which we’ve all borne witness is a testament to the way this singular figure in American history touched so many lives.

For America, he was a defender of a dream. For his family, he was a guardian. Our hearts and prayers go out to them today — to his wonderful wife, Vicki, his children Ted Jr., Patrick and Kara, his grandchildren and his extended family.

Today, our country mourns. We say goodbye to a friend and a true leader who challenged us all to live out our noblest values. And we give thanks for his memory, which inspires us still.

Sincerely,

President Barack Obama

A Wild Truth from Your Wondersource:

So, Erick, how did you respond to that invitation you received today?

You know the one I’m talking about – yep, the one that was wrapped up in that angry experience you had today.

What? You didn’t get it? Yeah, I know. Most people don’t. But Erick, let me assure you that every event of anger, fear, pain, guilt, jealousy, doubt etc that you experience, comes with my DIVINE invitation.

To what, you ask???

To your greatness, Erick, to your goodness, to the magnificence of who you truly are! For when you can feel anger or pain or guilt and ask yourself “Who or what is feeling this?”, you open the door to the great BEING that you truly are. You leave your ego self and step into your true SELF where I am always, always waiting for you!
