Gratitude Equals Peace Equals Change

Earlier this week, I got home after a particularly long day at the office and was more than a little exhausted.  I decided to take a walk while waiting for my daughter’s father to bring her home.  As I rounded the corner in my neighborhood, gratefully thinking about all of the people that have walked beside me on this Peace Project journey, I looked up at the moon and felt a jolt of energy so strong that I was taken aback.  I later spoke with a shaman and she shared that I had many powerful guides walking beside me on this journey and this was their way of letting me know that I needed to stay out of the fear, live in gratitude, and that all would be fine :-)

If you’re reading this blog, chances are you’re one of the people that I was thinking about after that long day.  Thank you.  Because of you, we’ve continued to have many large and small miracles this week and I wanted to quickly share some of them with you.

Getty Images has jumped on the Peace train and will be sending a photographer to shoot Operation Rise in Sierra Leone on World Peace Day.  I’m also thrilled to share that filmmaker Sergi Agusti (whose work was a major source of inspiration for The Peace Project), will be joining the documentary team led by Michele D’Acosta and supplemented by a number of local filmmakers from We Own TV.  Michele has been quietly pulling footage from one of our recent visits together, seeking funding and putting the World Peace Day filming plan in place.  I invite you to take a look at one of the clips from an orphanage whose children will be the first crutch recipients.

I was also excited to learn this morning that our first container of product has arrived.  (Yes, that noise you heard was a sigh of relief…)  Our second container is due to arrive early next week.  We’ve put a plan in place to get the word out and are now working on World Peace Day activities and looking ahead to what happens after World Peace Day.  It’s hard to believe, but after we distribute the remaining crutches and take a vacation, we actually have something even more monumental planned for the coming year.  Stay tuned and let’s prove that it is possible to change the world!

  1. Hell Yeah!

    So proud and so grateful~

    Carry the news!! The Peace Train is fueled by the power of love and comaraderie~

    peace and light~

  2. Your spiritual journey is beautifully felt and expressed, Lisa. And thank you for everything. I quietly say “Thank you” to you every day for changing my life.

  3. ;-) @ shelleyme…I can only take some credit for changing the way you think about change. You changed your own life — I’m just lucky that the universe put me in the right place at the right time so that you could do that :-) Thank you…and see you in Sierra Leone in September!

  4. Heart-rending and amazing… What you’re doing, what you’ve put together here, is so wonderful! A true force for good in a world so beset by unspeakable evil (and I say that as completely secular, non-religous person who feels privileged to be able to participate and help in whatever small way I can). Thanks Lisa!
    (ps: good work Michele; you’ve communicated a lot in a few short minutes with this new video)
