Circles of Peace



"Learning to be still and peaceful
is our daily work,
a lifetime's work."

Mairead Maguire
Irish Nobel Peace Prize Winner
The Vision of Peace

Our lives can be spinning in many different directions.
What way is your life spinning?
I am thankful that I can choose to spin "Circles of Peace."

As I searched the Internet today for more information about Mairead Maguire, I read about her "Community published biweekly paper, 'Peace by Peace.'" When I Googled "Peace by Peace." I found another site with the title "PeaceXPeace." http://www.peacexpeace.org PeaceXPeace has a Mission statement that speaks of "Circles." Definitely fits the theme of my Blog entry today.

"The mission of PEACE X PEACE is to improve the status of women and build sustainable peace. To achieve these goals, PEACE X PEACE assists women in reaching their full potential as leaders and decision-makers alongside men by providing women with an innovative tool: our Internet-based Global Network, which facilitates direct online communications between women-led groups ("Circles") across the United States and Sister Circles around the world."
