I've created a Web site, which I invite you to visit, that supports through art, Gather the Women and CodePink efforts to make peace a reality. Photographic images of peace signs created with found objects in nature make beautiful reminders that we should nurture peace every day. Peace within, peace at home, peace in our community, peace in our country, PEACE On Earth.

At NurturePeace.com you will find notecards, jewelry, PeacePads (mousepads) and more, plus inspirational writings, recommended reading and more. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these items go Gather the Women and CodePink.

I live in Big Bear Lake, Calif. a small mountain community about 2 hours away from Los Angeles. For such a small town we have a very active peace movement, including a weekly peace vigil, a region of Gather the Women, active CodePinkers, and a district leader for the Peace Alliance. We will be deliving pies to congress offices for "Give Peace a Piece of the Pie" to create a Department of Peace.
