By now those of you who've seen me or my posts anywhere know that my signature is Peace. I feel really strongly about Peace and the need for wars to cease; I abhor war. The war in Iraq has cost the world so many lives, so many beautiful young men and women gone because we could find no solutions to the problems created by our differences; some would say greed. You can go here to find out how to offer your support to veterans of the Iraq war and to see what others are doing.
The current situation in Iran has brought tears to my eyes. That peace can so easily be destroyed is a dreadful thing, that lives can be held so cheaply is horrific... Read more about the situation here.
In support of peace I've posted my signature earrings on Etsy today. I hope some of my readers/followers will get themselves or a loved one a pair and make a small statement about the way they feel about peace too. I will be contributing $1.00 from the sale of each of my signature earrings to AdoptaPlatoon, they have a very profound quotation by Douglas MacArthur at the entrance to their website, "The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." AdoptaPlatoon is a volunteer based nonprofit 501C-3 Soldier Support Effort® founded in 1998. They are dedicated to serving deployed United States Service Men and Women ensuring that they are not forgotten by a grateful Nation.
In any event, do your best wherever you are and in whatever company you find yourself to promote peace. Peace perfect peace, love and harmony. Remember to practice first at home.
Wow, this is not my usual bubbly outburst but sometimes life is just too serious.
Be well folks, meditate, pray, call upon the Creator for guidance.
Peace,
Nichole
