In 2006 Mimi Lennox, mistress of Bloggingham Castle started a little project. For one day, bloggers who followed her would speak with one voice: Dona Nobis Pacem. They would post globes with that simple message. What started as a hope nine years ago has now spread to more than 200 countries and it can take days to visit even a percentage of all the people seeking just one goal in our time: GRANT US PEACE
Above is this year's globe and below just a couple of others I've done including a major favorite: Bear 339 & The Bear A Tones who were created both for a song of peace and a hope for all the endangered animals on the planet.
The Bearatones return because around the world today, bloggers from more than 50 countries including all 50 States of the U.S. will speak with one voice: Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace). The only hope for mankind and this world is the willingness to make life better for all of us. That can only happen if we approach each other with open generous hands and minds.
If you would like to join us, go to Peace Globe Central at Mimi Writes or just share and retweet on Twitter and Facebook. A simple request: One Day, One Voice, One Phrase as a message to the world: Grant Us Peace.

Stand By Me
Many of the Lennon videos have disabled video and I really wanted as much separate from the Beatles as I could find. Here is one where you will have to go to the link.
