Hi Friends! I’ve been working on my peacemaker project for years. I am so excited to present it to you all! When our oldest who is now 10 had started at a local preschool that encompassed many of the qualities I wanted to hold as a parent. It started with a preschool teacher with many years of teaching experience quietly mentioning “peacemaker behavior’ to a student and it’s ruminated in my mind ever since. At that time I was a stressed mom who was doing her best, but was not the “peacemaker’ I dreamed of being. Ever since, I have been examining the way I move through the world with that as my metric and have always hoped someone somewhere would move forward with PEACEMAKING as a lifestyle. But alas— this opportunity waited for me to get through some of my hardest and most inspiring years… I’ve had 8 kids, I stayed sober, I kept growing and beat breast cancer. I feel like with all of these things tucked into my score card I am READY to take on this passion project.

What is a peacemaker? It’s simple- someone who will take care of themselves, others and the world; works to resolve conflict peacefully and respects others.  It’s not political (or shouldn’t be…) but it is promoting my dream of more ‘peacemakers’ out in my community and hopefully yours too… 

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have more ideas on how this peacemaking project can reach more people. We are all in this together and we all need a little more peace in our lives!
