Tony Fasline (520-426-0070) will hold his weekly Peace Vigil this Friday, February 1, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the corner of E. Florence Blvd. & N. Trekell Rd. in Casa Grande, AZ. Tony invites anyone who is interested in showing their support for ending conflict in the world to join him. Hold out positive thoughts for that!
This week:
Though I haven’t done all I’d hoped this week, I did manage to accomplish a couple of tasks that move us a couple of small steps closer to getting this place organized. Baby steps, actually. Certainly not the giant leaps I keep on dreaming about.
The task is going to be long and complicated, but I just keep reminding myself that Rome wasn’t built in a day. In fact, it took us 45 years to collect all this junk. And since I was married before, I brought a few years worth of clutter into the union all by myself. I do hope it won’t take us that long to dispose of so much stuff in the ‘greenest’ possible manner. I doubt either of us is really going to live that long. Besides, we’ve got better things to do than worry about a lot of increasingly useless ‘things.’
Join me in a vow to use our blessings, skills, and talents to build a society without poverty or war in which everyone is able to enjoy at least the basic benefits of prosperity and peace.
Meanwhile, send out your positive thoughts and, for those who are believers, prayers for all the suffering souls all around the world!

Announcing brand new website header with beautiful peace doves:
For a long time most people who logged onto my website could not see the lovely animated header that was supposed to greet them. Even worse, the menu at the top of each page was obscured and anyone who wanted to navigate the site had to scroll down to the bottom of each page to use the menu in the footer.
Instead of two beautiful flying doves, three small black rectangles would appear in the center of the larger blank header field. Then after a minute or two, the entire field would suddenly be filled by a large black rectangle.
After doing some research, my website designer informed me that the software she’d used for the animation had bugs and could no longer work with many popular computer systems, including mine. This week, she redesigned a static banner in which she reproduced the beautiful doves that represent the overarching theme of my work.
Now I am delighted to announce that the new header is up on my website and proudly displayed for all to see. Just go to the home page at:
http://www.imaginetheworldatpeace.com/
This beautiful new banner is giving me renewed inspiration to post occasional new articles on this blog while I spend more of my time concentrating on the first draft of my next book, Two Worlds. The novel will dramatize many of the principles discussed in my essay collection, The World I Imagine: A creative manual for ending poverty and building peace.
Meanwhile, I hope these beautiful peace doves will also inspire you to use whatever talents and skills, gifts and blessings, you enjoy to help make this a world without poverty and war, a world in which everyone is able to enjoy at least the basic benefits of prosperity and peace.

This week:
Another interesting week, though mostly taken up with personal tasks rather than writing, as I really would prefer. I have managed to compose some few words as part of three different projects, but I’m looking forward to being able to concentrate fully on one; then the second; and finally the great big third, my ongoing novel, Two Worlds.
My favorite part of the week was watching Barack Obama being sworn in for his second term, a direct result of the justified backlash from the GOP campaign to make the first African-American in the highest office in the land a "one-term president." I’m proud to say that Jim and I played our small part in that victory.
And to those bitter Republicans who now claim that President Obama is trying to ‘annihilate’ their party, I say why bother? Ideological conservatives are doing more than enough to destroy their own political organization from within! I’m old enough to know how sad that is.
Until 1980, I often had trouble choosing between candidates put forth by each of the major parties for both national and local offices. I’ve shared this idea before, but I must say it again: I would have been happy if Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter could have served as co-presidents--for two complete terms, at least. Both had much to offer, and they were both part of that generation of politician who knew how to work together to compromise and accomplish great things.
I’m looking forward to the time when the mostly younger moderate Republicans gain more influence within their party and start to ease the power structure back toward the center. I’m keeping my eye on several of those talented pols. They could be part of a future in which we can all share in the hope and move social progress steadily forward.

This week:
I try to post these weekly vigil notices by midday each Thursday, but today I’m way behind because of a combination of a longer than normal To-Do List and impending weather. The list is within my control, but I decided to take care of certain things before the weekend weather arrives and it’ll be harder for me to tackle those things. As for the weather, even though we live in the relatively warm southern Arizona desert, what passes for the dead of winter around here is still too much for me!
Meteorologists predict a hard freeze over the next few days, with lows in the 20s, so I’m trying to make sure I don’t have to do anything that takes too much physical or mental effort. In fact, if I could make like a bear and hibernate, I’d be doing it. But life doesn’t work that way. But the forecast indicates that things should begin to slowly warm beginning by midweek. So, maybe by next Thursday, I’ll be a little more active and interesting. And I might even get this notice posted in a more timely manner!

Tony invites anyone who is interested in showing their support for ending conflict in the world to join him. Hold out positive thoughts for that!
This week:
Tony reports for the last vigil of 2012 he was joined by three people, 1 man and 2 women. I’ve promised him that as soon as the weather starts to warm up, Jim and I will also come out to stand for the dream of living in a world without poverty and war. We hope that by this spring, the local group will be so strong that several people will be able to continue the vigils at least through late spring. We need that kind of dedication, since Tony, the backbone and heart of our local peace movement, will be leaving in mid-spring for his summer sojourn in the great Yankee state of Ohio.
Even though cold triggers my dreams of long winter hibernation, I’ve managed to reach my immediate goal of sewing enough robes to keep me bundled up and relatively warm, even in the coldest corners of this old house! Next, I’ll finish organizing my files, so when the IRS completes the forms to reflect the latest reprieve from the ‘fiscal cliff,’ I’ll be able to finish my taxes within a few days. Once that’s done, I’ll see what’s next on the list. I hope to squeeze in some of my own writing soon. Hold that hope for me too!

Ray Nakley (330-506-1999) and Ron Dull (330-518-9881) will hold their weekly Peace Vigil this Friday, January 4, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the corner of Downtown on the Square (Federal Plaza E. & Wick Ave.), Youngstown, OH. They invite anyone who is interested in showing their support for ending conflict in the world to join them. Hold out positive thoughts for that!
PERSONAL:
Reports from Youngstown indicate these Friday afternoon vigils are well attended by people standing for peace and many other social causes, and there’s plenty of room for more. If you want to make a public statement to end war, poverty, and/or any other of numerous social ills, feel free to join this group, with or without your own sign to share your thoughts about social justice with the world.
Meanwhile, join me in a vow to use our blessings, skills, and talents to build a society without poverty or war in which everyone is able to enjoy at least the basic benefits of prosperity and peace.
