Creating Peace

I was asked today, what I believe gets in the way of peace.

Here is my answer:

Thoughts. As I am becoming more and more aware of the power of our thoughts, I am also more aware of the responsibility this power comes with. By thinking in a default way, people have created war and destruction in their lives, and the lives of others, who by default are interested in peace, but are unaware how to achieve peace.
One can not stop a war, by fighting a war, but by promoting peace.
One can not end world hunger, by fighting world hunger, but by sharing what we have.
It is every one's individual choice, and the thought that we lack, the thought, that there is not enough, if we stop fighting, is what keeps people fighting.
There is enough, if we let abundance flow, all of us. The more we become at peace with the power within us, the more peaceful our surroundings will be. If we look for the alternative, the togetherness, we will find it. We have the power to think, to create, to embrace.
Each one of us.
The need to control only exists in people, because of the fear to not have. War, religion, fights are an extension of that fear.

Peace and Love

What are you intentions for today?

Hi Everyone!

Beginning of the week! Wonderful! There are so many interesting, exiting moments that are comming your way! The cool, crisp air of November days, are breathtakingly beautiful no matter where you are on this planet. Take a look around! Really look, search for the beauty, in the stars, in the smile of another person walking by, in the soft, wet nose of your dog, in the firmness of the ground beneath your feet. Alow your intentions to be. Alow yourself to feel the joy of being alive, right now.


What is your intend for this day? Do you know what you want to manifest?
A detailed list at hand, you know where you are going, do you? If not, intend this day to find out.
Get out pieces of papers and write what down what you want. Be specific, just do it, remember that without knowing where you are going to, you won't get where you want to go.
Intend today on giving yourself the permission to create direction.

Simple, but effective first step!

Have a blessed day!

Featured Foundation of the Week!

Hi Everyone!

This weeks foundation is a foundation, which came to me through a recommendation of a fellow Grobanite (not a disease, a Josh Groban fan, which I am proud to say I am).
As most of my wonderful Grobanites, she is a giving soul, who in the light of the tragedy suggested to donate to this Foundation in honor of producer David Foster (who lost his studio in the fires)and Josh Groban ( who's music is produced partially in that studio, by David)
Therefore I am honored to feature this foundation:

The Wildland FireFighters Foundation

This Foundation, besides their usual work of supporting families of fallen or injured firefighters, are reaching out to the firefighters injured in the Califorina wildfires. Also, they are assisting those firefighters, who have lost their homes, while protecting others.

Please donate to this worthy cause!

Thank you for your time!
