This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 21, 2008:
I think the best way to celebrate peace is to be peaceful. In what ways can we show that we value peacefulness and enjoy doing so? My suggestion is to notice when people do things in a peaceful way-- like when they listen, when they think before acting, when they explore rather than judge. And to let them know that you appreciate their contributions to peace. And to give them what you would like to receive from them.

Martha,
This is some of the most practical and excellent advice I've read all day. A nice thought to absorb while going to sleep. Thank you.

This is very good and thoughtful, Martha. Such a simple way of making a difference….to notice….to thank. thank YOU!
Martha, this blog is one of my absolute favorites!
Thank you and thank you and thank you again,

Hello Wonderful ones, you wonderful ones who wrote a comment, and those who read but didn't write. Yes, Maze, I DID notice you're being peaceful here, and so I'll give you, and all of you, what I'd like to receive from you, which is a big smile, jumping up and down, and a Big Hug! :)
I agree with you, Martha.
peace and wonder to you, my friend,

yes, wise words indeed..the best thing about this brilliant advice is that we do have to be feeling the peacefulness ourselves to really notice it in others, don't we? <3
oo Tara! THAT is so true! Thank you!
Simply make the effort to expand consciousness… notice where is negativity inside of me and transform that. I used various techniques when that happened to me few weeks ago and I just feel so good now. I don't need to know how it happened.
…
next when people celebrate - they eat: so what is the best diet to celebrate peace? vegan! plus french fries and some german beer to complete the menu.
…
and here I just accomplished another of my goals: to be a (peaceful) smart a**
Sending Lots and lots and lots of Love and Pure laugh to ALL!
