Peace Idea of the Day
There are so many simple ways we can wage Peace. We will try to list some of the things daily that common everyday people can do to be part of the solution and not the problem. Peace begins with one individual building a positive bond with another. The simple changing of points of consciousness creates better ground for building peace.
7/18/09 - Begin planning your candle light vigils for September 10, to call for WORLD PEACE in order to prevent what happend on 911. Only PEACE will create peace. Target time - 12:00 m
7/17/09 - Once again wehave been away for a long time - far too long. Check out

4/1/09 - I apologize profusely for my long absence. It appears throught the election of President Obama that we have a president far more concerned with World Peace than any before him. I really think he is a step far away from warring for peace towards cooperating for peace. Let us make sure he hears from those of us when he takes step towards World Peace. Check into CSA's ... Community Supported Agriculture. It is a concept that runs parallel to Community and World Peace. I am back. We in action for Peace can not rest ... those who choose hatred and war never do.
1/5/09 - Parents ... Go http://www.wherepeacelives.com Maybe you could get your child's school to take a look a the mural program.
1/2/09 - Go to http://www.imaginepeace.com/news today. Great news and a great site to visit now and again.
12/23/08 - Pray for World Peace on Christmas Eve Night and Christmas Day. If you don't pray, then wish for it.
12/22/08 - Check out the following website of Zoe Weston related to her book - 5 Step To World Peace. http://www.zoeweston.com/5_steps_to_world_peace.php
12/11/08 - Call today and make a donation towards Christmas Dinner for the homeless, or if money is an issue with you as well, go help serve and perhaps share a meal.
12/9/08 - Indentify someone today and make plans to become a better friend to them. Pick someone who is already a strong acquaintance or someone who seems they could use a friend. If everyone did this, we'd soon have 6 billions new close relationships. This is all a part of changing your type of consciousness of others and the world in general. We must believe the world is a place of infinite potential.
12/8/2008 - Make plans today to help serve a meal at a local homeless shelter or shelter for single mothers. This is a wonderful way to build Peace in a totally positive manner.
12/5/08 - We never wanted this to be a political venue, so we refrained from supporting specific candidates this fall. However, since the presidential election is over, and we have a new president, we believe we have a president who cares what we think. Be involved with his decisions and plans. Go to http://www.barackobama.com He needs to know our wishes about World Peace.
12/2/08 - Draft a letter to newly nominated Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and let her know that we want PEACE in the world. She can have a great bearing on Peace in the world in the way that she conducts foreign diplomacy.
12/1/08 - If you are in high school or college consider joining outreach types of clubs ... ones for which the main purpose is improving the community. Avoid those clubs which seem to be all meet and greet where all that gets done is talk. Never consider those who require any degrading initiation. A good example is LUCAP at loyola in New Orleans.
11/26 and 11/27 - Give thanks for all the wonderful blessings of this life. All is not well, but much of life is simply glorious. Spend some time over the holidays aligning aspects of your life in such away that each facet supports the other and a life of peace. Certain things in life are congruent with one another and in line with the peace flagship. Examine how you worship or not - what you eat or don't - how your life impacts the lives of all those around you. PEACE is attainable and will be attained. The only question remaining is - when will it come. I think we are coming into a time in history where PEACE will make great strides. I say this half in jest, but maybe Aquarius is just beginning to dawn.
11/24/08 - Check out the AP Article today on the couple (Joe and Chris Miller) in Platteville, Colorado, who gave away tons of produce. That is the way to build peace.
11/17/08 - An Indian (Asian) friend of mine was murdered this last week. There has been such an outpouring of love for him and his family amongst poor rural white people that it is to the point of amazement. His family and friends have thrown PEACE in the face of violence. It has been about my friend and not about the perpetrators. We have celebrated his life, not howled for vegeance - not that justice for this act should go without consequence - but violence does not bring peace. Reflect on this today. Be a Force for Peace in the face of violence and hatred.
11/12/08 - Begin a campaign for you local homeless or relief shelter. The suggested ending date is December 10. You may want to collect blankets, canned foods, clothing, etc. Do this at your locale at your discretion for People for World Peace. You be the leader. Just as it is best to shop locally, and eat locally grown foods, the best charity is that born of local compassion.
11/5/08 - Email President-Elect Obama today to state you wish for us to get out of Iraq as quickly and expediantly as possible.
11/4/08 - ELECTION DAY ...... GO VOTE .... GO NOW ...
11/3/08 - VOTE Tomorrow ... If you haven't already. Vote for those who will bring about Peace. There can not be peace without some sense of Social Justice and justice will not prevail with us spending billions and billions to wage war while hunger prevails all over the world including the United States. We paraphrase, but Martin Luther King once said something to this effect ... 'the arch of change is slowly but it does bend slowly towards Social Justice". Lets help it along.
10/27/08 - Write to your congressmen to tell them we want out troops out of Iraq now.
10/6/08 - Check out the websites for John McCain and Barrack Obama. Make plans to vote for the one who will affect the earliest exit from from current WAR efforts and do the most to avoid future military actions.
9/30/08 - Check out http://www.celebratingpeace.com A great website for educators or parents.
9/29/08 - Consider Vegetarianims or at least consider a reduction in meat consumption. Also, make plays to attend a Green Living Seminar. Living peacefully with the earth helps create a peaceful mindset in general.

9/11/08 - Sorry for the lengthy hiatus. Idea ... Explore our prejudices. Find out what is behind them, how they started, and how they negatively influence our thoughts and actions. By doing so, maybe we can eliminate some of our prejudices.
8/26/08 - Check out http://www.compassion.com Consider sponsoring a child if you have the means. I've done little research on this site if you wish to check it out further, so so.

7/31/08 - You don't need to sit-in or write letters to be part of the peace movement. One of the more dynamic things you can do is to simply become a peace agent in your daily activites. Be more aware of others and what you can do to create peace on a person to person level. The act of simply adding one more peaceful person to the world in huge in itself. Make that commitment today.
7/29/08 - Go to http://www.peacecorp.gov If you have the will and time to put into a peace commitment the Peace Corp is a way to do that.
7/27/08 - Another way to help eliminate petroleum from our vocabulary. http://www.power-save.com
7/22/08 - Take a look at the plight of a group of ranchers from Eastern Colorado. There are two issues here that speak to the intent of this website - matters of military expansion and matters of endangerment of the environment -not to mentioned the rights of the land owners being ignored. This is a must see.

7/11/08 - If you have supported the war in Iraq, I urge you to consider why. My guess would be that you think we are waging war on worldwide terrorism. Give that some rational thought. We are concentrating enormous weaponry and money in a spot on earth roughly the size of Texas. And, we are investing the lives of young men and women - literally their lives. How does that stop terrorist attacks around the world. Are all terrorist registered and required to live in Iraq? Obviously, many are in Afghanistan where were are not placing near the concentrated efforts. What we are doing in Iraq would be like trying to stop worldwide shark attacks by cordoning off the Great Barrier Reef. It makes no rational sense. We are in Iraq for petroleum interests. War solves nothing, never has ... not with any permanence. Please make your choices at the poll both local, state, and national over the coming months to bring about peace.
7/10/08 - Go to http://www.peacenow.org This seems to be a step in the right direction.
7/9/08 - Get in touch with your local school system. Most districts all over America have something called a Clothes Closet or Clothes for Kids, where they issue clothing to those incoming kids who do not have adequate clothing. If they don't have such a service, they need one. PEACE STARTS AT HOME ... PERSON TO PERSON ... get busy.
7/8/08 - An Inconvenient Truth ... more to do to love our plant. Go to http://www.climatecrisis.net and get active in helping save our planet. There are things to do that will bring about greater justice in things such as food distribution on earth.
7/7/08 - A peaceful nature would necessarily mean a caring attitude about our planet as well as our people. A very interesting site. Read and maybe plan a project. http://www.guerillagardening.net

May 9, 2008 - People will laugh at some of these ideas but they are basically simple ways to build peace by changing one's consciousness levels. Today, drive defensively and remove youself from the stress of trying to rush and push your way through traffic. For Children: Hold the door for 3 people at your school today. Peace resides in an environment where people try to take themselves out of the center of existence and place mankind as a whole in the center or a God entity of their choice.
May 6, 2008 - Buy or prepare a meal for someone you know who might not have adequate food and take it to them or just sit with them for human contact.
