For Peace

Peace and blessings to you. I love you.

Peace begins with me. Peace begins with you. Peace begins within each and everyone of us, whether it's just choosing to feel more peaceful towards ourselves, our neighbors, our friends and relatives, or the person next to us.

Here you'll find some ideas for sharing peace, organizations that are also for world peace, and unique peace signs.

Get in on sharing peace and making peace a bigger part of the pie.

Peace Day is official

Countdown to Peace Day

Peace Day: September 21, 2012

I open myself up to others being peaceful

by affirming:

ZazzleI am peace.

You are peace.

Peace.

Peace begins first as an individual

Many times, I choose peace for myself. When I'm feeling more peaceful myself, it's easier to feel more peaceful towards others.

Some ways that I choose peace for myself is to give myself an affirmation; some of which include:

I love myself.

I am peace.

I am peaceful.

Peace Pie Cards

How they got started.

One of the launches by the Peace Alliance was for groups and individuals, registered with them, to gather members of their community to take pies to their local Congressional offices, letting members of Congress know that "Peace wants a Piece of the Pie," meaning Peace should be included in the budget.

In support of that effort, I also started thinking that there should be peace "in" the pie for sure. And I came up with an idea for Peace Pies in the way of cards, etc.

Peace Pie cards can be sent to anybody that you want to make peace with and/or to share peace with. In addition, they can also be sent to your congress people to help them remember to make peace part of the pie.

Stones into Schools

The most important book that I've read For Peace

Stones into Schools, Promoting Peace with Books, not bombs, in Afghanistan and PakistanI highly recommend reading Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is the true account of author Greg Mortenson, and his experiences in helping to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the positive results of educating girls.

Make your purchase through this link, Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan
to Amazon, and a portion of your book and other purchases will go to the Central Asia Institute for the girls' education scholarship in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

    Your Peace Pies are great! I'll also be looking out for "Stones into Schools..." It sounds like an inspiring read.

    What an inspiring lens. Loved both videos and I have heard of the Department of Peace efforts. Why not have a Department of Peace to counter the Department of War? Maybe you should add a countdown module for Peace Day. Lensrolled to my compassion lenses.
