Your choice of a quiet heart is the brightest light for Peace today!
We can make our homes sacred places of peace even when the world around us appears to be chaotic and violent. It may be important to make choices that close out images and messages that come into our homes via the media that are constant reminders of the broken world that surrounds us. It takes courage and strong resolve to unplug the T.V. or other communication media and allow the silence of peace to permeate our inner sanctuary. We are so accustomed to the din and confusion that an absence of it may seem unsettling at first. Even setting aside an hour a day to focus on the quiet inside will help us better create calm on the outside. This peaceful focus may be all that is needed to create peace where ever we may go when we leave our homes, ever expanding the sacred sanctuary we treasure. Choose to be a blessing of peace inside and out. Let it be a reality right here, right now!

Amen to that! The best decisions I ever made were:
1) canceling subscriptions to daily newspapers and most magazines
2) turning off the TV at home and radio in my car
3) taking time each morning to read something inspiring and write in my journal
Once the daily din stopped, I found myself able to tune into the still small voice within ... and that made a HUGE difference in my life.
Hugs and blessings,
