Dear Michael, I would like to see this site and any other dedicated to peace shut down for any reason, but especially because there is no one to administer it. I am sure that the administrator would welcome the assistance of someone to help. If we r…

Is Tibet forgotten ? We hope not... Everyone seems to know about Tibet and the plight of Tibetans due to the illegal occupation by the Chinese Regime, but no one seems to care about them - do they? What's about the Tibet's forgotten children ?

When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?
I feel the pain in the world
What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?
War, Hunger, Poverty, Education, Our Planet, Violence, Human Rights
What in your mind is the biggest obstacle for peace?
Other
Please elaborate
I believe the biggest obstacle for peace in any relationship, whether it is neighbors fighting across the back fence or nations fighting across the globe is the desire to be in control, one over the other. Power over another human being is the greatest motivator for all the other obstacles listed. Being able to control and have the power is man's greatest downfall since Cain killed Abel.
Do you believe that today an individual can help effect change in the world?
Definitely
More about myself
I am of an age where my greatest wish is for peace and joy in my life as well as that of my fellow man. No longer do I try to control issues that involve others to attain a measure of ups-manship over them. I would rather give in and give up the struggle between us if it means doing something untoward to my fellow human being. It is just not worth the effort to keep up the resolve to control. Life is indeed too short, but why should we wait until our lives are on the downward slope to realize this? Why can't we recognize the object and gift of peace in our co-existence while we have the strength and energy to really make a change? At least I am happy I have made the change in the right direction while I have a chance to make a difference.
Do you promise to respect others in this network and refrain from spamming?
Yes

Picking up where my people left off

Recently my partner and I were discussing possible stereotypical backlash now that our first “Oodleville” children’s book, The First Trip, has been published, and Bubba Oodle, our first character doll, is available. For me, the Oodles’ black color has been the subject of conjecture since I began working to manifest my dream.

In our conversation, therefore, we talked about ways to address the dolls’ color. We discussed comparing the Oodles to gollywogs who were and still are depictions of black-… Continue

YAY! I'M A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

After 18 years of effort, I am proud to announce that my first children's book, "The First Trip" is online and available. The story is one of Bubba Oodle, the news reporter for the Oodleville News, and his arrival in "The Land Beyond" (our Earth) from his imaginary world of "Oodleville." There is also an introduction of the other "Oodles" and some of their adventures.

In coming stories, Bubba will be exploring and making friends to share our lives with those in "Oodleville," and sharing the "Oo… Continue

My friend,
May your week be beautiful and productive
very happy and blessed. With much joy and many flowers
in their paths.
"When you give up an action does not mean a defeat,
by contrast, is a sign of great wisdom. We gather strength,
we evaluated the events and intervene at the right time,
succeeding”.

With affection.
Jussara ♥
