This issue was published November 4, 2016, near the end of one of the most contentious Presidential campaigns ever waged in America. This, among other controversial issues world-round, finds us searching for a way to relieve stress from the turmoil of this inevitable paradigm shift.
WE SEARCH FOR PEACE.
I asked our readers to define what peace means to them. During the upcoming holidays and every holy day of your lives, I ask all of you to find that state of being – peace. It is within you.



So in some ways, I feel that peace is a utopia. There is suffering either from action or the lack of it in the attempts of trying to obtain peace. – Storm Spencer

Doing what I love to do. Keeping a filter around me so that I’m aware of events while not letting them worry me deeply. A certain transcendence. Keeping the house organized, clean and tidy. Supportive friends and family. And Dogs! – Julia Carter

I feel peace is the internal knowing that I always have the option to sing and dance come rain or shine!! – Marquetta Newell



Holiday Blessings!
