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. At the end of this post you see the Peace Globe I made last 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 … [Read more...]

Dona Nobis Pacem-BlogBlast for Peace
Get my banner code or design your own banner On Thursday October 12, 2006, Mimi Writes had an idea. What if on one day, bloggers joined together to post about peace, using an image of our beautiful Earth which she called The Peace Globe. She suggested we all title our posts "Dona Nobis Pacem", which in a literal translation from Latin to English means Grant Us Peace. What if...... ..... we added the power of the written word - and our blog names - to the face of our world? A world that we share with each other through our written words, A world that so many of us have already begun to realize is smaller than we ever imagined. From that came a project that I am so proud to be participating in today, The BlogBlast For Peace. This is my Peace Globe: There was a time about two years ago when I came very close to quitting blogging. An anonymous commenter left me a horrible comment regarding my feelings for my mother in law who had just passed away, and there seemed to be this … [Read more...]
