Today I'm joining hundreds of bloggers across the world in a movement called "Blogblast For Peace". I'll start calling this my Peace Blog, as I seem to use my blog for just this movement nowadays. I don't care though, it is too important not to participate! The wars in Ukraine, in Gaza, other armed conflicts... Sometimes peace seems to be an unreachable dream, but we cannot give up. Not now, not ever.
Bloggers will unite in a global cry for peace in this annual event. One day. One voice. All it takes is one post. Don't have a blog? You can also join us by using social media. My globe will be on Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and all other places I am in too.
Post and share, anywhere you are online.
It's that simple. Join us!
This is my 18th globe in my 16th year participating. Every year there's a theme on the main website. I don't always follow that, and that's okay. This year I did, the theme is:
"Change the room - the transforming power of walking in peace"
Imagine
what would happen...
if instead of trying to find peace, we walked in with it?
What if we
simply carried it in?
What if we
were the peace everyone else was searching for?
What if we
expected the room to change when we entered?
Don't you think it would? Why can't
we be the water and the well?
I love that, but struggled a bit how I wanted to incorporate it in my globe. After a lot of thought I said to myself: stop overthinking and start creating! And so I did.
I couldn't find the right image of a room, so I created a few in Bing Image Creator (AI). I chose one intuitively, added the usual info and decided to go with the flow. My fingers typed the words without thinking and I loved it. I tweaked a bit with font and lay-out, and I'm happy with the result.
To everyone: I wish you peace! One moment, one step can be the beginning; one person can make the difference!

ReplyDeleteThat image of the peaceful room really speaks to me. I shelter in my own small room, which is my sanctuary in these difficult times. I love your peace globe and your post.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous image and such a wonderful message too. We could all use a healthy dose of peace, always.
