What a wonderful Thanksgiving our family had while visiting my sister and her family in New York City this past weekend. Firteen family members all lived peacefully and joyfully without any arguing or fighting while sharing 2 ½ bathrooms! It was miraculous!

Hi all Lightbearers and Peacemakers. Our director’s group met on Friday, October 2, 2009. The members present were Jill Rosenthal, Tim Kellis, Michael Black, John Dennison and Laura Dennison.

Today via teleconference Peace Options held its first director’s meeting. In attendance were Karl Nybergh, Jill Rosenthal, Tim Kellis, John Dennison and Laura Dennison.

June meeting

Wow, the summer has quickly departed. For us here in South Florida, we are so grateful for our lovely weather except for our very hot and humid summers. Thank God, for no hurricanes for this year.

Last Thursday Lightbearers from all walks of life gathered to discuss matters of peace and conflict in our lives and world. Here are the minutes of that meeting.

John and I want to thank all you peacemakers for joining us for dinner at Lorenzo’s Trattoria in Coconut Creek on the last Thursday of May, 2009.

I want to wish everyone a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving Day. We have so much to be grateful for. For starters, as Americans we live better that 90% of the world. Sure, the world’s economy is in a slowdown. But, think about how much better off we are than that 90% of the world’s population.

The situation with energy in our world is too fragile to leave our food supply subject to the vagaries of supply and demand. Moreover, with all the pesticides and fertilizers being dumped on our farms, the safety of mass-produced food has never been more of an issue.

We have a responsibility to our families, indeed to our nation, to insure that we have a reliable food source in order to survive.

That's why we're proponents of gardening in all its forms as a way to supplement, if not replace, store bought foodstuffs.

We call it the Peace Garden.
