Dear Difference Maker,
Today is the United Nations' International Day of Peace - marked every year on September 21. It is a global holiday when individuals, communities, nations and governments highlight efforts to end conflict and promote peace.
Let's drop all barriers that create division - the barriers of nationality, of political ideology, of sex, of religion, of social class, of financial status. Whether we'reAmerican, European, Russian, Asian, Middle Eastern, Indian, Australian or African - or Republican or Democrat - or male or female - or socially high or low - or rich or poor - we all have the same dreams, hopes, and aspirations to be free, at peace, loved and loving, whole and complete, and joyfully fulfilled in our lives.
It's impossible to Fight for Peace! We must teach peace in the midst of needing to be right, and in the heat of fussing, arguing and fighting.
Let's teach skills for peaceful communication. To be living examples of what humanity can be, we must practice harmlessness in all of our daily interactions and demonstrate regard for each other's points of view and differences.
Please take a few minutes to watch: peacetoday.makeadifference.com ... we hope it opens minds and hearts everywhere.
Make a difference today; pass it along.
Reaching out ...

PPS... My favorite quote for peace:
peace
it does not mean
to be in a place
where there is no noise,
trouble or hard work
it means to be in the
midst of those things
and still be
calm in your heart
