Reactions

“You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with magic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.”

-Warren Buffett
Dear Friends and Members,

Life is full of miracles, waking up each day, talking to a stranger (who really is our Homosapien brother or sister!), seeing a squirrel run up a tree and so on.

Warren Buffet, a very successful man financially… has no IPHONE, IPAD, but does enjoy his Egg McMuffin at McDonald’s shares his thoughts above. What can help each of us to have peace and love in our life is the realization that everyone has their own thoughts and words and to “Let Them Be.” Mr. Buffet says, ” If words control you, then everyone else can control you. Breath and allow things to pass.”

The old adage, Sticks and Stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt or break me,” according to Wikipedia has been around since 1862. when it appeared in The Christian Record. a publication of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, interesting during BLACK HISTORY MONTH.*

As 2021 unfolds for us and as always filled with GOOD NEWS if we see it, let us all BE STRONG and some cases BE STRONGER than we ever were by allowing others to sharetheir thoughts, even when we dont agree. More Good News, or LIFE, will then come our way because as Warren Buffet states, “Breath and allow things to pass.”

* Alexander William Kinglake in his Eothen (written 1830, published in London, John Ollivier, 1844) used “golden sticks and stones”.

It is reported[1] to have appeared in The Christian Recorder of March 1862, a publication of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, where it is presented as an “old adage” in this form:

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never break me.

Forty-six women of distinction from the United States and abroad made their bows to society at the 60th Anniversary of the International Debutante Ball. The debutantes represented Austria, China, England, Hong Kong, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine and twelve American states. Each debutante was accompanied by her own escort in white tie and tails, and a military cadet who carried the flag of the country or state which she represented. This year there were five sets of sisters.

The primary charity is The Soldiers’, Sailors’, Marines’, Coast Guard and Airmen’s Club, a home away from home for the military and their families. Partial support will go to the American Ballet Theater, Friends of Versailles and the American Theater Wing among others.

The ball was founded in 1954 by Beatrice Dinsmore Joyce as a charity and the tradition continues today directed by her niece, Mrs. Gregory Scott Hedberg, Director and General Chairman.
