I don't know if you have noticed, but I made a point of posting everyday since September 1. I tried to share ideas and little bits of my life that bring me joy or a little peace or are generally just a good idea. Like recycling, and Cherry Lemonade scented Yankee Candles, and fun memories, and lazy weekends with my family, and finding a great book to read, and stepping away from the computer and back into the real world, etc.
It has been kind of a count down. A count down to the International Day of Peace (and guess what, you can look forward to another one in December for Christmas and in February from Ash Wednesday to April 4 Easter Sunday and another one in April for Earth Day! Aren't you lucky!). I wanted to get myself thinking about what I do and don't do everyday for peace. This includes peace at home. Looking at how I communicate with my family (I love, Love, LOVE all of you!!!). What I teach my children about the world. What I teach my children about treating people (like not calling the idiot driver in front of me an idiot). Teaching myself about being a better example for them, by being a better person. And I dragged all of you along with me.
I hope I didn't get too pushy or preachy or anything. I just keep remembering a story my friend Nicole sent me about starfish.
"One day a young girl was walking along the beach noticing thousands of starfish that had washed ashore. She began picking them up throwing them back in the ocean to save them.
Her mother said "don't bother it won't make a difference.... "
She looked down at the starfish in her hand and said "It will to this one""
It may seem like a small thing, but it does make a difference.
Be seein' ya! Peace!

I like the posts, don't let anyone tell you differently!
