Over the past few years I've seen the Bead People go out and touch thousands of lives. Maybe for just a moment these little friendly people make us more conscious of being kind, doing good service, thinking of a peaceful world instead of a world filled with strife and dissonance. It is a small flame, however, and I want to start a big, raging, hot fire of peace that spreads like, well, wildfire. I want more from myself and more from others. I wonder if you could help me. Could we build a community that works together? Can we meet each other half way? Can we act in new ways together? The traffic on this site is building--but I feel alone nevertheless. We need to meet, you and I. So, here is my idea.
Send me a little story of something small that you did for another, or for your family, or for yourself that brought peace to your own heart. For the month of November, I will post these stories here and at the end of the month, I'll read them all and the "winning" entry will get two free, handcrafted Bead People as a special gift from me. In fact, I'll name four "winners." How does that sound?
'Register and add your story to the "comment" section. You don't have to be an "activist" to bring peace in the world directly around you. Teachers--you could make this a class project and have all of your students write about something they did for another that was special. Let's turn the compass of our minds toward small peaceful actions.
I am really looking forward to meeting you and hearing your stories.
