Blogblast for Peace came through on the She Who Blogs yahoo group and when I saw the site I instantly knew Mushu and I would be participating. Taken from the original site - Mimi Writes....

Dona Nobis Pacem is Latin for "Grant Us Peace". The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from this blog. The post ignited a flame in the blogosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog across the globe until it reached 35 countries and 46 states. BlogBlast for Peace is a semi-annual blog event.
It is positively inspiring to watch. The simplicity of three Latin
words on a globe and bloggers writing amazing articles on what peace
means to them.
Simple. And powerful.
On June 4, 2008 bloggers from all across the globe will blog for peace. We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day.
*******
I won't write anything because I just don't think I could properly convey my feelings on how I wish this world would find peace.
We were to pick a globe, decorate it any way we like and post it on our blog June 4th. Mushu's is on his own blog. Because he's a big boy now and wants to be independent like that.
If you would like to go see more globes for Dona Nobis Pacem, go here to the hundreds signed up and see what other bloggers have to say about....peace.
Wow....I never hit numero uno on your blog! Perhaps I should go purchase a lottery ticket....right this very minute!! Great post Joy....for a very good cause. Off to check out Mushu's!

I remember seeing this before. I think this is a great post and that AE quote is so apt.

What a beautiful idea. We need to strive for this in our everyday life with everything we do.

Great quote, and so fitting.

I feel like a knob now - I completely forgot to do this. I had the invite in my email and when I glanced at it quickly I saw June 4 and thought I had oodles of time - it's June now...dang!
Nice job with your globe!
