What an absolutely HISTORICAL and BLESSED event for our community on Sunday, January 25th watching the Buddhist Monks Walk for Peace in Rolesville.
As I reflect on this experience, HOPE fills my heart. I'll never forget watching the Monks walking towards me. I was holding my phone in one hand and holding bags of Walk for Peace bracelets I created in the other. I must have been holding the bags up because the first Venerable Monk stopped, took the bags and said... "May you be well, happy and peaceful. Thank you." as he continued walking down the street in my hometown of North Carolina. I had expected to give bracelets to the person on their team who walks behind the Monks. What an amazing moment... I'll never forget.
I lift up prayers 🙏 for the Buddhist Monks for safety as they continue their walking PEACE ✌️ pilgrimage to Washington DC.
I'm grateful and thankful that more people in America are learning about THIS mission. My heart overflows with tears of JOY watching videos of Americans showing respect, and loving kindness to these Monks as they travel through each state sharing the message of... PEACE, MINDFULNESS, LOVING-KINDNESS and COMPASSION.
My NEW routines:
Write ✍️ each morning... Today is Going to Be MY Peaceful Day!
And, remember to breathe before speaking.🧡
