BlogBlast For Peace Meme – Advance Preparation

“Rules” and backstory – with much stealing from Mimi’s original post.
The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from one blog, Mimi Writes. 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 to blog across the globe. Bloggers wrote passionate articles on what peace means to them, along with the promise of three Latin words scribbled on a globe – Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) – branded with the integrity of their names or blog names. It was positively inspiring to watch. And it began to happen all over the world – from Singapore to China to Afghanistan to Brooklyn.
It was simple. And powerful.
In less than two weeks bloggers from all across the globe will blog for peace. We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day.
Won’t you join us on June 4, 2008?

I just sent Mimi my graphic for this BBFP. Since I don’t have graphic design skills, it’s pretty basic. I’m more of a “words” kinda girl. I was pretty tempted to re-use my posting from the first BBFP – http://valianthosting.ca/clients/daemon/?p=162 – since I do still feel the same way and am not sure how to express it any better…but I’ve decided against that. What I write will be as much of a surprise to me as to anyone I’m sure.

And then there’s me. More of a visual gal :o) I will just be doing a graphic because I really suck at writing things without getting too wordy and confusing people. I am really looking forward to June 4th and seeing what everyone has come up with for graphics and what they have to say.

Thank you so much for posting this and spreading the word. I appreciate it. I did get your new globe and it is lovely. This is a beautiful page design as well. Very calming and solid. Looking forward to your peace globe post on the 4th. I did re-read your first BlogBlast post from 2006. It was amazing. Our friend Prometheus’ comment was very true as well. I have a special place in my heart for the original peace bloggers (like the two of you).
Peace,
Mimi
