My dear friend and kindred spirit Mimi has invested so much of her heart and soul in this day, in these globes she has been collecting. And I love her dearly. I must be worthy of my Queen and such a noble cause.
I thought long and hard about today. I thought: "I should post something profound and inspired and wordy". Thoughts that are torture to someone like me, the non-writer. Thoughts that cause anxiety. What if... I mean... There's the distinct possibility that I'll fall short of such a monumental task. We ARE talking about bringing peace to the world, people. THE WORLD! PEACE! MOI! With a POST! *whimper* Some words I write and send out into cyberspace are meant to reach others, set off a chain reaction and inspire PEACE. -This is the point at which I start to hyperventilate and desperately look for something to keep me busy that will give me an excuse to step away from the blinking cursor (curse... how appropriate...) and my total and utter brain freeze (I have brain freeze, writers have writers' block, I have brain freeze and I didn't even get to eat some ice cream - how unfair!).
How? How do I pull this off? Me!
Think Anndi...
OK
What it all comes down to is...
Love.
Her love for her Papa and his love for her, that's how this started. A love she then shared with us all, so very eloquently and generously.
Such small gestures can make a difference... and no one is too small to impact the world. Even a few words sent out into cyberspace. Setting off a chain of events. One small marble touching another after it is cast... Like in a child's game.
"If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room."

So... I thought I'd bring you someone else's words. These are WAY better than anything I could have come up with.
Mother Theresa said it best...
"What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family."
That's exactly it.
Home... Love... Family...
Peace!
Thank you, Mims... for everything.
Love you my friend!

Beautiful words by Mother Teresa. And ohhh so true... Have a peaceful day and let love rule! :o)

Small steps lead to big leaps.
Absolutely beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes.
Tis project and Mimi are so very important to.

That's the message -just exactly what you said - Love Peace, love family, love and peace, go together don't they?
Peace.
Starting at the beginning - with yourself and your family - will start the peace ripples out into the world. Have a glorious day. Peace.

Very good! Mother Teresa really had it going on didn't she?
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Ps. 34:14
My wish for you is peace in your lifetime, I would love to see peace in mine, they better hurry up.
That is so true. If everybody did that, we wouldn't have any wars. It's so simple. All we need is love.
Wonderful globe, filled with love.
Peace....
I couldn't have said it better myself. Nice. Peace to you and your family.

Hi Anndi,
I'am sorry that I wasent able to stop over yesterday. Thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind words.
Your peace globe is so lovely. It reflects what is in your heart.
And that love is really here in your blog, too.
Let each of us honnor Peace each day in our own small ways.
There are numerous things that can be done with our families,co-workers,friends,neighbors,community.
Be Peace everyday.
Big hugs to you my friend,
xxxxx
It's a beautiful day when peace is in your heart. Let it be so for you soon, my friend.
Oh yes, we did use the same song!
And I totally agree with what you said. Small things can make a difference.
Love and peace to you and yours, Anndi!
So here you are. I knew I'd find you here.
What to say...what to say...For a woman/girl/angel (that would be you) who had nothing to say, you sure said a lot. And eloquently.
Your post was what was in my heart as I began to write my own post yesterday. I started to write on the simple power of love and what that means to all of us.
But you know, my friend, where I stand on that premise.
And because we are kindred spirits you will understand when I say that I do believe, in my heart of hearts, that love IS all you ever need.
Logistics be damned.
I have to compete with this? Suddenly my funny stuff feels so shallow. I'll get over it. Very good.
Great post. Peace be with you always...
Love it, hon. Peace to you and everyone. Hugs! :)
