Inspiration - Phrases and Quotes!
Trust, Not Faith
People ask, “How can I have
confidence that everything will work out for the best? Perhaps I don’t deserve
the best. Perhaps I’ve already messed up so bad, G‑d has given up on me.”
These people are confusing Trust with Faith.
Faith is something you may or may not have. But trust is something
you do. Hard.
Trust is when, in times of trouble, you cleave so unshakably to
the heavens, you pull them down to earth.
Trust is a mighty, heroic bond. Trust changes who you are—and
what you deserve.
And it is available to anybody, at
any moment, no matter who they were the moment before. ~ Chabad.org

International Yoga Day
We observe it on the 21st of June, around
the world; since the United Nations, General Assembly has declared -International Yoga
Day in 2015.
The proposal to create this day includes a
profound quote that sums it up!
“Yoga
is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. This tradition is 5000 years old. It embodies unity of mind and body;
thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature; a
holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to
discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By
changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with
climate change. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day.”
-Narendra Modi (UN General Assembly.)
Now you’re in
the know!!! Make it fun-filled; connect to friends
and colleagues
- Yoga Day!
My
niece is a Yoga Instructor. Kudos to all
the instructors and participants!
According
to the experts, IDY/International Yoga Day has celebrated the world over
on this day.

means ‘to yoke’ creating a union.
It’s a day to acknowledge and
devote to–physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
And
to learn more of the delightful benefits of yoga, and
to link with the community and friends about this
ancient relaxation!
Summer Solstice is
June 21, 2019
The longest day of
the year in the northern hemisphere, Summer
Solstice is June 21, 2019,
This year, the northern summer
solstice falls at 11:54 a.m. ET.
And South of the Equator, the same
moment marks the unofficial beginning of winter!
Solstice around the world occurs at
the same time [with time zones, local times may vary.]
The
solstice occurs because the
Earth’s axis of rotation is tilted around
the sun.
This tilt is the
driving force of our plants seasons, as the Northern and Southern
Hemispheres get unequal amounts of sunlight over
the year.
In the months from March
to September, it tilts the Northern Hemisphere more toward
the sun–bringing in spring and summer.

"The first wealth is health."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A message from the AHA/American Heart Association
Flag DAY 14th
On June 14, 1777, our
flag
was born. It is more the cloth shaped into a design. It is the refuge of the
world’s oppressed people. It’s the silent sentinel of freedom for so many. It
is the inspiration for which American patriots gave their lives and fortunes.
It has led our sons and daughters into battle from Valley Forge to the bloody
ridges of Vietnam to the sands of the Persian Gulf. It has flown through peace
and war, strife and prosperity, and amidst it all it has been respected.
“Old
Glory” is my nickname and proudly I wave on High. Honor me, respect me, and
defend me with your lives and fortune.”
Keep
alight the fires of patriotism and strive earnestly for the spirit of your
democracy and it shall remain the bulwark of peace and freedom for ALL mankind.

not?”
True, you can’t control the way you
feel, but you do have control over your conscious thought, speech and actions.
Do something simple: Think good
thoughts, speak good things, behave the way a joyful person behaves—even if you
don’t fully feel it inside. Eventually, the inner joy of the soul will break
through. –Chabad.org.
