Today is the International Day of Peace, a fitting time to start a new take on last year's Peace Pin Project.
This time around, I'm sending shreds of repurposed linen clothing stitched with words of peace ...
miniature peace pin/flags inspired by Fiona Dempster's Daily words ...
which you can find in her shop. My goal is to send all of her words out into the world paired with peace.
If you wish to receive one of Fiona's words and a miniature peace pin/flag, please leave a few words of peace in a comment at the end of this post.
And then, please send your current mailing address to lizackert@gmail.com (even if you think I already have your address, it is ever so much easier if you send it to me in an email as I'm somewhat scattered).
There is no catch and no charge. It is my humble way of spreading a little bit of peace in a world that very much needs it. That said, if you wish to send me an email or link with a picture of where you hang your peace pin/flag once it arrives, I will happily post it in the Works in Progress page, found in the sidebar to the right.
Addendum:
And here, as a perfect example, is Marti's peace pin from last year ...

May it soon be joined by new images of this year's peace pin/flags.
P- people reaching out with arms extended, hearts open.
ReplyDeleteE- equality the path we must take.
A- accepting that we are all in this world together.
C- caring compassionately for each other, for our towns, cities, state, nation, simply, for our one precious world.
E- evolving to say that every living thing, everyone,has worth and matters.

I looked for your Peace Pin on my pin wall....it's not really a 'design wall' anymore, a treasure wall would describe it better.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I found the pin among the chaos of the pinned up items. I will take a picture, then move the pin to the ideal cloth place, that ironically sits just below it. Then I will tame some of the area around it, to show there can be peace among the chaos.
Thank You Liz.
Peace be with Us
ReplyDeleteLiz...bless you for sharing your time, talent and treasure! Yes, of course, I would be honored to have one of your wee peace flags. Peace in our world is so very needed; however, I think we also need to find peace within ourselves and souls. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteHi LA - so good to be part of the small bit of action for peace - creating a few small pieces for peace and sending them out to create few more ripples. Peace to you and yours. B
ReplyDeleteYes! I love when you do things like this! Your heart and generous nature really shine! I'd love to be included again. :)
ReplyDeleteYou remind me of this old favorite from my earliest teaching days.

ReplyDeleteOf peace. There lies Source
There are the Possibilities
we dream about.
In this noxious hullabaloo
May we protect one another
May we find peace
Thank you, Liz.
Peace--just what we need to think about right now. Sending it out and receiving it.
ReplyDeleteI would love one of you Peace flags .. for you to take the time and effort to send out these small flags reminding us all that Peace is possible. I Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz for caring and sharing for peace like this - what beautiful addition to the world! I am so happy that you are using the words to connect with peace and helping folk find ways to be active for peace! So lovely to see the ripples continuing...go well.
ReplyDeleteYour generosity, of creativity, time & spirit...thank you.
ReplyDelete"Hope" is what I hold on to.
Each day, each week, each month that I continue to tutor English to Congolese refugees, there is more peace within me, more joy, more hope for peace in the world.
