Happy Mother's Day!!


"NEVER DOUBT THAT A SMALL GROUP OF THOUGHTFUL, COMMITTED CITIZENS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, INDEED, ITS THE ONLY THING THAT EVER HAS." ~MARGARET MEAD

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies of the world!!! What a great day to acknowledge all the beautiful woman in our lives!!

Below is parts of an email I recieved from a local group of Evergreen women who are standing for Peace in this world! These woman stand for Peace on Earth and I was moved to see them wanting to make a difference!

"...In response to the invitation below, some women in Evergreen have decided to stand in Elk Meadow facing Highway 74. Others may decide to stand some other place, or to simply stand where they happen to be at 1 pm on May 13. Will you stand for peace with us?....
....Please stand with us for five minutes of silence at 1 p.m. your local time on May 13, 2007, in your local park, school yard, gathering place, or any place you deem appropriate, to signify your agreement with the statement below. We ask you to invite the men who you care about to join you. We ask that you bring bells to ring at 1 p.m. to signify the beginning of the five minutes of silence and to ring again to signify the end of the period of silence. During the silence, please think about what you individually and we collectively can do to attain this world....." {email}

SO, of course, I was moved and wanted to document their beauty and their power as a collective team of individuals to stand for something so GREAT and so often so many of us take for granted...PEACE!





Happy Mother's day to all the Mom's in the world!
