You know what they say about quiet people…we got issues. I had a blog for about two years before I released a post publicly. I write a lot offline and noticed I censor myself even there. Like, I’m writing for me! What am I afraid to admit to myself? I compartmentalized different aspects of my personality… Read More Can’t Hyde No More
I’m not saying I was bad… In March the topic of raising peaceful children gave me yet another reason to dig into the crates for relics of my youth… Children, little reminders of what we put our mothers and fathers through. I’m not a parent but I have a vivid memory of my childhood. I fear for… Read More The Makings of My Little Muse
The year is truly zooming. For crying out loud, it’s March tomorrow! So much happened already. This month’s challenge caught me at a time when I really had to think about who to direct this to. Yes, there are unresolved issues. Honestly, and this is not a cop-out, I don’t have time to care. More importantly, for my… Read More Moving On
What are your deepest darkest/scariest dreams? Go ahead and think about that. I’ll wait… How do you feel about acknowledging your true passions to yourself? May seem odd to be afraid to admit something to yourself. But it’s OK. Do you break out in hives at the thought of sharing those ideas with others? What if they laugh… Read More Don’t Sleep On This
I confess. During this peace walk, I appeared contented and blissful. However its covered up this side road of bitterness in my heart with family occupying almost every inch of it. For that reason, I knew this challenge would take me a long time to get to. It wasn’t necessarily out of avoidance. I think I had one… Read More I’d Love To Hate You But I Have Some Peace In Progress
Admittedly, I usually look outside myself for peace. I could use more money to do the things I need and want to do. It would be great if the walls in the apartment weren’t so thin I can hear my neighbors yawn. A new home in a different city would be more desirable. Seeing people… Read More More Than A Dream: Living For Peace
The best music get’s down on its knees with you. It whispers to your shadows and lures them into the sun. Mishal Moore’s music is like that. Her songs leave me hopeful, reflective, and eager to dive into the uncertainty that comes with embracing life as it is even if I’m wishing for more. “How do… Read More An Artist’s Way: Mishal Moore on Creativity And Peace
Oooo goody, a short post challenge! Lol this is just what my life weary mind needed to kick-start a new season. Don’t worry, I’ll have a juicy chunk of The Life of G for you soon enough. I’ve taken many peace expeditions and this quote seems to always find me. The more I read it… Read More Peace, Love, and Beauty For All
I started posting to Bloggers 4 Peace since day one. Recently I’ve missed a few entries so I’m backtracking a bit. I’m not trying to get a t-shirt [although it would be cool to rock one]. There have been a few changes in my life and they’ve given me plenty material for the Monthly Peace… Read More K.I.S.S. @ Home
Dear God, Through all my tears I know that I am more blessed than I presently feel. Although it’s not mine, there is a roof over my head. Loneliness comes for extended stays. I’m surrounded by loved ones therefore I’m certainly not alone. I may have limited funds yet my needs are continually met. I may… Read More Honestly: Peace Between The Lines
March has been a hell of a month. And I knew I would drag on this post. Not because it seems my M.O. for the challenges. It’s the subject: PEACE The last four months have been a world wind of thoughts, emotions, dreams, situations, and realizations. People came into my life and left quicker than… Read More When It Comes To Time

Our international community works towards the great flow that comes from connecting with others and slowing down to enjoy this juicy life we’ve been given. A thought developed into a plan. That plan gave… Read More A Different Kind of Community Garden
As I already mentioned to Kozo, I’m slow to this peaceful movement. I wrote this poem many years ago. Depending on your perspective, you may understand why it brings me peace. I’m not sneaking in. I know I missed the January post deadline. My intention was more about posting when the right moment presented itself.… Read More A Peaceful Goodbye
