without inner peace it is impossible to have world peace

For Peace Day ~
Open your heart
Share your joy
Offer your compassion
Give appreciation

Peace is an individual inside job.
It starts there ---
And then if affects the world around you.

Together we can make a difference...
Because we care.

From Wikipedia:

The International Day of Peace occurs annually on September 21. It is dedicated to peace, or specifically the absence of war, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone. It is observed by many nations, political groups, military groups, and peoples.

1981

The United Nations General Assembly declared, in a resolution sponsored by Costa Rica,^[2] the third Tuesday of September (the opening day of regular sessions of the General Assembly) as the International Day of Peace devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace.^[3]

To inaugurate the day, the "Peace Bell" is rung at UN Headquarters. The bell is cast from coins donated by children from all continents. It was given as a gift by the Diet of Japan, and is referred to as "a reminder of the human cost of war." The inscription on its side reads: "Long live absolute world peace."

understanding others

“People only see what they are prepared to see.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

release fear

"All healing is essentially the release from fear."

Happiness is a journey ~ not a destination

When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future.
When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past.

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow a mystery,
Today is a gift from God,
That's why it's called the Present!

So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school,until you lose five kilos, until you gain five kilos; until you have kids, until your kids leave home; until you start work, until you retire; until you get married, until you get divorced; until Friday night, until Sunday morning; until you get a new car or home; until your car or home is paid off; until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter; until the first or fifteenth; until 'your song' comes on; until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up; until you die, until you are risen again; to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...

Happiness is a journey ~ not a destination.

~Earnie Larsen, "Days of Healing, Days of Joy"

turn the scanner within

"Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them."
~Jennifer James

~always and forever~

“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.”
~Roy Croft

i wish you love always... again and again and again

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."
~C.S. Lewis

Harley's Angels on Great Day Houston!

KHOU TV, Channel 11 welcomed the Harley's Angels today for their taping of Great Day Houston with Deborah Duncan. We had a blast!

The Angels are in each segment as they pan the audience but our major recognition is featured during the Jay Mohr interview. We were able to share what we do and spread the word that we need everyone's help to bring about a cure for breast cancer. Our PSA (Public Service Announcement) was filmed as a courtesy for being in the audience.
It was a great day Houston!!! Enjoy! :)
