It’s been a week since I had a chance to put finger to keyboard but as promised:
Mimi Lennox truly deserves a great round of applause for founding this movement. A blogblast for Peace creates a community of Peace, a foundation is being built with each blast within the blogosphere to support the very concept of Peace being achieved. This is no grand illusion or means to feel better about ourselves or our individual contributions, this is reality, as we create it. The more we bring up the topic of Peace the more discourse there will be bringing with it more Modern Musers.
Here are a few of my favorite Blogblasts:
Mimi’s contribution relays the foundation of oneness that the Dona Nobis Pacem movement through a touching “conversation” with her Papa. This post is so well written and moving, she had me in tears.
NolaDawn author of Kids, Cats, & Books - What Else is There conjured up From the “Pencils of Babes“, and “Thursday Thirteen the Peace Continues” extending the Blogblast for the duration of last week.
Travis author of Trav’s Thoughts really hits the nail on the head when it comes to the foundation that the blogblast is creating for hands on activism.
A taste:
Posting a Peace Globe may be someone’s first taste of protest or activism. You gotta start somewhere, so maybe start with a Peace Globe. And then click here to find the names and email addresses of your senators and congressmen. If you already have those, then good for you! Use them and use them often. Don’t let your elected officials rely on polling data to make decisions for you.
Stand up. Speak. Tell your elected representatives that you agree or disagree with them. Don’t wait for election day. That’s way late in the game. Vote, but speak more often than that.
Jenn author of Sheltered Sanity delivers a undeniable truth that Peace must begin within.
A taste:
However, on a broader scale, I do not believe that there will ever be such a thing as world peace. I appreciate the sentiment that some people have in wanting to be the one who achieves what countless others have failed to do, but striving for such a global task would seem to be both spiritually daunting and futile. Instead, I believe that peace is most noticeably spread when we first obtain it within. When you find your inner peace you exude peace to those around you and that’s your effort to the world wide peace movement. We cannot force peace on those around us no matter the religious promises, books written or wars fought. We can only lead our lives by example and hope that others are so moved in their own rights that they too wish to strive for peace.
Other worthy posts pertaining in some way to the pursuit of Peace:
- “Veterans’ Day Recalling Heroes of War” by Francis Scudellari author of In the Stream.
- “Matriotic Musings on Jefferson, Kucinich and The Divine Feminine” by Meryl Ann Butler
- “Vote for Peace: Sign the Electoral Pledge” from Voters for Peace and Security
- The Campaign for a Department of Peace, the work of Dennis Kucinich, my only choice for President.
- We the People
We are very excited to be able to attend a town hall meeting with Dennis Kucinich on Friday, my eldest son is soooo excited and will be taking a day off from school to attend. If you really want Peace, I urge you to consider Kucinich.

You have certainly shed some light on a few prominent peace bloggers. The posts have been deep and insightful. The closer we get to election time, the stronger we feel the impulse to act I think.
Thank you for all you’ve done to promote and support this project. I am still finding and collecting globes and peace posts. Pretty amazing! BlogBlast For Peace hast taken on a life of its own.
Peace to you and yours during this Holiday season.
Mimi Lenox
