MAKE A NEW START!

September is here with a new school year beginning and the Holy Days of the Jewish faith just a few weeks away. This month is a great time for all of us to review our lives and make a new start.

You can finally start that project you have been wanting to do!

You could forgive someone and renew a relationship!

You could get invest in the future and get involved with politics!

This fall, how can you make a new start? It's time!

 

TAKE POSITIVE ACTION!

    

     CREATE SACRED TIME AND SPACE

All of Us Need Sanctuary

When do you feel most spiritually connected? Where does your heart go home? This month's Positive Action is internal. In the midst of your busy life, spend some time doing the things that make you feel healed and whole. Visit a special place from your past. Take time out for yoga or prayer. Curl up with a good book. Take a walk in the woods. Visit an old friend. Sleep. Let Peace be real to you!

EVENTS

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2008

WORLD-WIDE

Several years ago, the United Nations declared September 21, 2008 as the International Day of Peace. Peacemakers around the world are planning celebrations that include poetry readings, speeches, peace gatherings, art festivals and worship services. I will be marking the day, which this year is a Sunday, by sharing my peace poems in worship and meditation services and on my blog. Plan now to celebrate in your own way: Let There Be Peace on Earth and Let It Begin With Me!
