SEEDS OF PEACE

Peace made the front page of the Observer today, Thanksgiving Day!
The Churchill High School students wrote messages of peace on colorful paper & planted their "seeds of peace" with bulbs around their beautiful peace pole!
Here is a link to the article:

I'm very thankful to all of the seeds of peace our group has planted for the last seven years! As we watch our seed grow, we can all be grateful for our commitment
to peace.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

It is not just a person's physical constitution, their intelligence, their education, or even their social conditioning that enables them to withstand hardship. Much more significant is their inner development. And while some may be able to survive through sheer willpower, the ones who suffer the least are those who have a high degree of patience and courage in the face of adversity.

Thanks to Linda for organizing the wonderful event. Here are the quotes with Native American Wisdom we shared in our four groups. We could select one a day to think about & share with others.
Thanks to Nancy for the presentation on the Medicine Wheel. It was a terrific visual with so much information included. I learned a lot!
Thanks to Caroline for her thoughtful reading!
Thanks to Lynda for leading us in the relaxing yoga flow with the Native American music. How perfect to conclude a great celebration!
Thanks to the planning committee: Dottie,Tada, Gloria and Becky for the planning, shopping, decorations, etc.

Thanks to everyone joining the Citizens for Peace as we work to educate ourselves on ways to create more peace in the world, starting with each one of us!

Citizens for Peace 7th Anniversary Party!

We will celebrate our 7th year of working together to create a culture of peace at our meeting on Tuesday, November 9th at 6:30 pm. The theme is "Peace & Gratitude".
It is a potluck party, so we will have dinner before we enjoy the surprises the party committee has planned for us. See you Tuesday!

Love is what we are born with. We don’t learn love; it is already etched in our heart.

However we do learn fear. Fear is the obstacle that blinds us to the love in our heart.
So to experience our love in its fullest authentic capacity, we must unlearn our fear.

Our spiritual journey, the meaning of our life, is the unlearning of our fears and prejudices, to reacquaint our self to the ever present beauty of the love in our heart.

Paraphrased Marianne Williamson
