Presenting the third recipient of donations
By: admin on: Jun 16,2008 In: P.E.A.C.E 08, Inspiration, Community, FundraisingI believe in community. There is a proverb that goes something like, “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade.”
Or, as Sandra Day O’Connor once said, “We don’t accomplish anything in this world alone … and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one’s life and all the weavings of individual […]
Thank You Tara
By: admin on: May 13,2008 In: FundraisingToday I received a paypal donation. My eyes were googly at the amount. $300. Of course, every single bit donated makes a difference. What really affected me the most was the note from Tara. Tara, have we met? It was CLAW, right? A big hug to you-thanks for having such a wonderful heart.
Said Note:

I am very humbled and overjoyed by two major events yesterday.
A gentleman named Heinz, a customer at my coffeeshop, donated a generous sum of money to the gas fund. His donation of $250 covers a large portion of petrol. I placed his name on the Peace map. The Peace map is how I will fundraise […]
Happy Anniversary Peace Sign
By: admin on: Mar 23,2008 In: Non violence, Peace Sign, Fundraising, Direct ActionWhile the passing of the war anniversary was not a happy moment, I can share better news with you. The Peace sign is 50 years old this weekend. My initial research showed muddled dates, but that was because it was actually USED for the first time in a Nuclear Disarmament march, that occurred on Easter […]
Wrasslin’ and Peace
By: admin on: Mar 13,2008 In: Charlottesville, Community, Fundraising, Peace, Direct ActionBoth require elbow grease. Bad jokes aside, I was in for a bit of my own punishment the other night. If it makes you feel better, laughing at my own bad jokes was my own demise the other night- I was disqualified from my first round wrasslin.
My first CLAW (Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers) match proved […]

WALL OF BELIEFS
Add your own...-
I have become convinced that I have the power to transform the world into one that is free of domination. I believe that all it takes to transform the world is for me to transform myself into a more mature, responsible, and loving person. That’s all I have to do, nothing more than that, nothing less than that, and nothing is more important than that transformation. When I change my inner world, my external behavior shifts to match, and I become a creative source of systemic change.
Moreover, if I can do it, with my history of dysfunction and wounding, certainly you can do it. The ripple effect from this transformation is immeasurable, and it has the power to stimulate the largest institutions of repressive domination to implode. This turns conventional thought on its head, and would appear to be insane to most people, a kind of megalomania, which it is not, it is the exact opposite of megalomania. It is acknowledging our critical participation in energetic systems far larger than ourselves.
I do not accept that I am the victim of the military-media-corporate-government conspiracy. I am 100% responsible for it, another apparently “insane” idea, and yet what I mean is that I am 100% able to respond to it. I have an answer. I have more than one answer. Having a better idea is far more effective for producing social transformation than recrimination and revolt. Very soon the world will be ready to hear hundreds of thousands of people who have transformed themselves internally to be the change, and not demand the change from some external source.

The genisis of Peace occurs when, with humility, I begin to truly see others as my brothers and sisters.

Peace is helping strangers in need....and knowing in your soul it is the right thing to do.
Take care Alix...it was nice that your journey crossed ours.
Tony Simonelli -
Peace is accepting people for who they are and not what you want them to be. Peace starts with one person and ripples through the rest of society.
Faith Simonelli -
peace is achieved when we gain the ability to find tranquility and quietness within ourselves, then we will radiate this out to the world.

peace is the outcome when we use wisdom and patient self-restraint during conflict.

When my life has ended
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved one's
I'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing's for certain
When it come's my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind

Peace is non-aggression, non-dominance. It's love in action.
