We Stand...

I know I don't really have to elaborate on this but I will.  I will elaborate in a different way than what my first thoughts and feelings were about the tragedy.  If you have visited my blog before today you already know I have compassion for everyone and everything.  I truly believe that ONE verb can change the world.  

LOVE.

Call me a dreamer - if you will.  But I am going to stand by my thoughts, feelings, and ideas and continue to spread them in any way I can...peacefully.

I'm going to surround myself with those who share my thoughts of love, compassion, peace, and open-mindedness in hopes that we will come out on top OVER those who spread hate, terror, and pain.

I'm sending prayers/thoughts/vibes to all those involved...if you don't pray...send your thoughts or at least do something nice for someone else.

Bloggers For Peace

Yesterday I participated in a Blog Hop and had a few lovely visitors from it - thanks so much!  One of the blogs and bloggers I connected with was Kathy from Smart Living 365.  She has a GREAT blog!  One of the first things I noticed was she participated in Bloggers For Peace.  I was drawn to it immediately and had to check it out.  I'm so glad I did!   I will jump into the mix as well!  Starting with this post!  As many of you know I try to avoid confrontation.  I mean...there's enough to stress about I don't want to create more.  I feel the same way about this blog.  It's my departure from negativity.  I try and make it positive and omit as much negativity as possible.  I try and mention good things, things I do and try and do, I try and learn something new every day.  I've been trying to incorporate stress relieving activities and art, my attempts at yoga, peaceful eating with my veg*n diet, and several other things.  In the past I have done posts about things I am thankful for but want to do more of that in the near future, too!  I will also be including more poems, pictures, and songs that have to do with peace.  Be on the look out!  If you participate in Bloggers For Peace please let me know!  If this is the first you are hearing about it - PLEASE - take a look at the links above and let me know if you do participate!
