A Royal Tag for Peace
23 October 2008 Labels: The Peace Globe project 21 comments
I have been tagged by Mimi, the Queen of Memes to join the Blog for Peace Project
The story.
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 three 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?
Join The Revolution
Here are the rules
(1) Copy this into a post (2) ADD YOUR NAME to the bottom of the tag list(3) Tag as many people as you'd like.

sasidesign adobe photoshop tutorial for newbie
Kim, you are so very talented. I love the drawing of Alexander and Charlotte - and what a great concept the 'A Royal Tag for Peace' is. Thanks for sharing that.
OHHHHHHHH Kim, how you challenge your readers...this looks like an amazing project and I will give it a whirl...I LOVE your piece of Alexander and Charlotte...beauteous, and the quote underneath, very stirring and true...
hi Sasidesigns
this was a complex post and took me hours to compile....
hopefully future posts won't be so complex ... :)
thanks Lilly...
this is an old drawing of my children...they've grown up a bit since then...
Mimi's Globe for Peace Project is a wonderful way of promoting peace
hello Amy..
thanks...it's one of my favourite drawings of the kids... and I thought the quote matched up perfectly...
haha challenging all right..as it took me ages to get the format right :)
next year I'll keep it more simple lol..
Beautiful words, along with a serene beautiful portrait. I'll have to give the peace challenge some thought.
I've highlighted some heavy subject matters so far in my own journal, I think my readers are going to start thinking I'm a billboard for what ails the world. The way I see it is, the world could use more voices who are willing to keep the door open to some issues. My latest venture was Domestic Violence. October shares herself with Cancer Awareness as well.
It is a tempting subject with the war raging in Iraq, peace is indeed a hope on the horizon. Thanks for this entry. (Hugs)Indigo
Kim - Thank you so much for posting this today. I couldn't be happier that you are participating. You bring and artist's flair and heart to the project. The portraits on the globe....stunning work. See you on the 6th. I appreciate you taking the time to get this up and running. I hope it brings in more Australian peace bloggers and bloggers from all over the world. We now have 41 countries (Czech Republic checked in tonight.)
Peace,
Mimi
thank you Indigo...
I know what you mean..
it's been a busy month with blog action for Poverty and Breast Cancer Awareness month....
I personally donate to the Cancer Foundation as I lost my Dad to Cancer....
It would be great for you to join in on this project ...and although it was time consuming for me...it was very satisfying...especially finding that quote :)
thanks Mimi...
congratulations!!!41 countries....that's terrific..
I'll be posting one of your badges in my sidebar too...so hopefully other's (including those rare Australians) will join in :)
Great tagging idea. I like it very much... Your story is very neat indeed. Congratulations.
thanks Millena...
it's all for a very good cause :) :)
I commend you - and what a tender loving image. Peace.
Go to the desert at night and see all the starsd and think about all the distances and here else life might be.....
Electical lights have distorted our place in the universe - we see billboards and skyscrapers and do not realize we have created walls that shield us from the Creation.
Peace.
I like your blog very much! Keep posting!
thanks John..
we've had quite a few power cuts over here lately so I can appreciate your words...
we have been using candles for up to two hours at a time and the conversation has been remarkable...haha...
technology doesn't give us everything :))
enjoy your weekend John :)
thanks for calling by Magda... :)
have a wonderful weekend :)
I'm invited too and will of course try to contribute within the 6th of Nov.
Your contribution was great and artistic as always!
Btw: Sorry I haven’t been around for a while - fall is a busy season.
Wishing you a great end to your week :-)
hi Renny...
thanks ..I have been busy too....
enjoy your start to the weekend :):)
After being royally tagged, I'm suffering from Meme-O-Pause symptoms again! Do have any remedies down under to cure my hot flashes? ;~)))
ROFL Miss MP :D
I'm afraid there is no cure..though I've heard the punishment is a stint in the dungeon....
however I'm sure you will come up with a stunning globe with your amazing photo shop skills .... ;)
Your work is Gorgeous!!! And I love your blog too:)
Hi Kim, your layout and colour are great. Different but still has your style... love it. Can't wait to see what development you will make next....
Cheers - Leet
