Today is The International Day of Peace

Our pinwheels for peace.

There was a little conflict and arguing in creating the pinwheels. I called to the girls attention "Are we arguing about peace?" I remained calm while in most cases I would throw up my hands and scream "Why can't you just be nice to each other!? You are sisters!" I am striving each day to be the peace I wish to see. It begins in the home. It begins with each individual. It begins with you.

May you create and spread peace in some way today - big or small. Smile. Be calm. Lend a helping hand.

peace.

Connecting with Peace

September 21 is The International Day of Peace. (Click to visit their site.)

For the past 3 years I thought I would do something really special on this day. So far, I have not.

This year I will at least make pinwheels with my daughters and put them in my yard. Next year, perhaps I could organize an event for my whole town where everyone could make a pinwheel and we could all put them in Main Square. Imagine.... whirled peace. (click on pinwheels to see the official site)

I will wake up at 6 am and meditate. If anyone would like to collectively meditate, I'm in the Central time zone.

How about a moment of silence at noon as well.

peace.
