All Works of Love are Works of Peace & 100th Post Celebration!! + giveaway

"All Works of Love are works of Peace"- Mother Teresa
peace to me
Its time to celebrate! Today is a special day. In celebration of International Day of Peace and this being my 100th post I want to show you some inspiration to me and have a special giveaway for you.
Since today is International Day of Peace I want to let you know why I love Peace. In the photo above I have some things that inspire peace to me. Things I treasure like the Peter Max Peace poster. In 2006 I got to meet Peter Max and he signed it for me. It was the best. He is an amazing artist and a huge inspiration to me. A photo of my family in 1985- my dad, mom, me and my twin sister in bonnets. I love how young and happy my parents look and how tiny we are. Some books that inspire me- The Book of Peace, The Giving Tree, and Peace- the Biography of the Symbol. They are all filled of lovely images and beautiful stories. Other things that makes Peace special to me are: the 60s/ 70s era, artists/ inspirational people like John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Gandhi, and so many others. Here are some inspirational peace quotes. Through Etsy I met this inspiring peace artist- Just Give Me Peace. Her art is very inspiring and filled with lovely messages of peace. On Flickr you can find this amazing group One Million Peace Signs who have been gathering many inspiring images of peace. You can add yours or get inspired by all the Peace images. I think more than anything what Peace means to me is just that feeling it creates. Peace is a movement and something I strive for. I see more and more people after it and it gives me hope for a better world. People joining together for the GOOD in this world. We live in a beautiful place full of lovely inspiring places and people.

Happy Peace Day Rachel and congratulations on the 100th post. It's a definite milestone and you've celebrated it in such a great way.
