Dear Friend in Peace,

According to Merriam-Webster's online Dictionary, respite is: "a welcome break." That is what I have needed and taken in the last week during time spent with three of my precious daughters.

Perhaps you too need respite. If so, please be gentle with yourself and take time to breathe and fill your heart and soul with joy, gratitude, and peace. Once so renewed, we will have peace, love, and compassion to spare and share helping to create the home, community, nation, and world in which we wish to live.

To me this photo of Lemon Bay captures the feeling of walking into a place of peace, a place of respite. Looking at this image, I feel the serenity and become part of the scene; an onlooker filling my empty tank with renewal, hope, and profound peace. May this photo bring you joy, respite, and serenity as well.

Thank you for choosing peace, for choosing to focus on peace. Our peace matters, your peace matters and helps shift the energy of our communities and our nation. Thank you for keeping your focus on Peace, and in so doing, helping it manifest throughout our community, state, nation and world.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts, successes, challenges, and ideas for creating more peace within your heart. I welcome, encourage and enjoy your comments and suggestions.

Yours in peace and love always,
Donna
