Jerome’s 25th Birthda<\/span>y<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In honor of our son, Jerome:<\/span><\/p>\n

We all have 24 hours to each day and the freedom of choice to spend it as we choose.<\/span>
\nWhat are you doing with your time and energy?<\/span><\/p>\n

This picture is of our son Jerome on his 25th birthday with his good friend Paul.<\/span>
\nJerome has the big smile on his face and is beaming positive energy and enthusiasm like he usually did.<\/span>\u00a0 His best friend, Paul (on the left) also seems to be enjoying the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jerome had no idea that less than two years later, on September 17th, 2003, his car would be hit from behind and he would leave this earth so quickly.<\/span>\u00a0 Paul had no idea that exactly one year later he would be hit by a drunk driver and join Jerome in Heaven in 2004.<\/span>\u00a0 They were fine young men in the prime of their life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, they made the most of their time.<\/span>
\n None of us knows how long we are here for or how much time we have.<\/span>
\nYou can make your time count and you can make your life count by being fully present and engaged every moment possible.<\/span>\u00a0 Do all the good you can now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Questions:
\nAre you being the best you can be?<\/span>
\nAre you make the highest and best contribution?<\/span>
\nAre you actualizing your potential?
\nHow much time are you wasting not doing<\/em> what you really want?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

As you give, so shall you receive\u2026.<\/span>
\n The energy, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, words, actions and things you give out, come back to you like a cosmic boomerang.\u00a0 Are you letting the people you care about know how you feel about them?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

What would happen if you started having more fun and lightening up a bit more?<\/span>
\n What would happen if you started consistently acknowledging yourself for all of your wonderful qualities and contributions?<\/span>\u00a0 What would happen if you did the same for others?<\/span><\/p>\n

A wise friend and mentor, Michael Wyman, envisioned people as their Higher Selves and as Unlimited, Powerful and Magnificent Spiritual Beings and children of God.<\/span>
\n Michael chose to\u00a0look at life as a game and believed that miracles are possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u00a0consistently build your own positive energy by acknowledging yourself, others and the universe around you and by being thankful for all of your blessings, <\/span>you create a high vibration that will attract wonderful things.\u00a0 It starts with awareness and being present.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having a high vibration and energy makes it easier for you to transcend any challenges or limitations that you may encounter.\u00a0 <\/span>Why let anything bring you down?\u00a0 How much time do you have to waste on unimportant things?<\/span><\/p>\n

By maintaining a high, focused, clear and positive vibration and energy, you can achieve your highest potential.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Make your time count and make a difference…..one person and one moment at a time.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

blessings,
\n\ud83d\ude42 Lee
