Dona Nobis Pacem-Blog Blast for Peace

It started in October 2006 when Mimi from Mimi Writes had an idea based on her memories of 9/11. What if on one day, the entire blogosphere posted the same thing, a call for peace? She posted a few backgrounds of our Earth against a blue background and said, see if you can’t make something from this. Something that will remind your readers that it is possible for there to be Peace on Earth. To say she was on to something would be a vast understatement.

Her idea spread like, well, wildfire. It spread across the blogosphere into nearly every one of the United States as well as 38 countries. It seems that even if for only one day, what bloggers would really like to think about is the idea of world peace. And that includes me. I made a new Peace Globe for this year, using Photobucket. If you would like to make one too, here’s how to start:

Visit Mimi’s blog and grab one of the four blank templates. After saving it to your computer, use Paint or Photoshop or Picnik or Photobucket or whatever you prefer to decorate it however you’d like. Email it to mimiwrites2005@yahoo.com so she can add it to the Peace Globe Gallery. Visit the BlogBlast for Peace page and sign the Linky so others can visit you and see your Peace Globe.

What I learned from browsing through the Peace Globe Gallery is that no matter what state or country someone is from, peace truly is a universal wish, a need, a hope. Help spread Peace today.
