HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year to all with a wish for Peace at home and around the world.  An inspiring message of peace is sent out by the Imagine Peace Tower in Rejkjavik, Iceland, a project by Yoko Ono. She created the peace tower in 2007, in memory of her husband, musician John Lennon of The Beatles.


Have you read about this project?  It beams a message of peace several times each year, including from the Winter Solstice through New Year's Eve.  For a live shot on New Year's Eve, see the Rejkjavik EarthCam.

Peace wall art, 44 x 14", free wall art pattern by Amy Butler Design


Here's a wonderful free pattern by Amy Butler Design to start off the month of January.  Use vibrantly colored prints to create a "Peace" wall hanging (and matching pillows!) Bring giant flowers inside to add an outdoors touch to any room.

And now, dear readers, please leave us a brief comment below to let us know where you're celebrating the New Year !  We'd love to learn where you are around the world, and we'll reply to every comment via e-mail.   We'll start first

From California and Arizona U.S.A.,  Marina and Daryl wish all of you a very Happy New Year, filled with endless blessings of peace, happiness, and prosperity !
