The decision to launch a International Day of Peace Celebration in Spring Lake has had us all pretty busy.  There is a lot more to do than I imagined when I first had the impulse to do this.  Were it not for all the dedicated members of the Muskegon Cultivate Peace Group it would not be possible. Everyone is doing everything that can be done to make this a wonderful 3 hour event.  Everything is working out even better than expected. We even had a couple surprises we had not planned that ended up making all the difference in the world.  I am so thrilled that we started this Cultivating Peace Group.  It has truly changed my life in a big way. Thanks to all those wonderful loving friends who have done so much to make this event happen.  Hopefully we will get some good pictures and maybe even get some Press to move Cultivating Peace forward in West Michigan.
Namaste'
