**Today's Mimi Writes post Welcome to BlogBlast For Peace - The Fifth Launch! Dona Nobis Pacem in the blogosphere is upon us again. These three Latin words which literally translate "Grant Us Peace" have become a mantra for an incredible dialogue and exchange of ideas that happens twice a year. It has also become my hope that the simple words we find scrawled on the face of our peace globes and blogs sink heavily into our hearts and collective consciousness to infuse and ignite us, as a people with a voice for change and a vision for peace. And then, one day soon, they will spill over into new territories, stepping off the blog page alone and inspire us to action in our homes and communities. It's already happening.
Dona nobis pacem is not just for the blog galaxy - it's for my everyday life - and an ever present part of the evolution of change I hear in my own personal mantra of choices and beliefs.
In June we began a Revolution of Words.
In November 2008 let's continue the revolution and begin an evolution....
one in which the power of our words manifests intrinsic change and expands our compassion for and understanding of people everywhere,
dictates a respect for diversity,
and calls me - and my neighbors -
to a place of peace.

That is the hope I have for myself. It is my hope for you.

The History: The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from this blog. The post ignited a flame in the blogosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog across the globe until it has now reached 38 countries nearly every state.
BlogBlast For Peace #2 June 2007 "Dona Nobis Pacem"
It happened on my blog. It happened on your blog. It happened all over the world. It is positively inspiring to watch. The simplicity of three Latin words on a globe and bloggers writing amazing articles on what peace means to them.
Simple. And powerful.

Well it looks as if my google reader has kicked in just in the nick of time. Fortunately that feeds into my blogroll too.
Glad you put the count downer there as that means I have 57 days to get my act together.

Looking forward to another spectacular day of hope and celebration.

I'll be joining in on both of my blogs. I'll post something about it soon and get the globe back in my sidebar soon too. Thanks for all your efforts!
Yay for peace globes! I think I'll do something really different this time. I'll have to cogitate on it.

Ha!
Jeff - I feel sooo celebratory about this launch. Very much so.
Bee - I have no doubt. Will you be reigning on the high seas this time?

Gattina - Thank YOU.
Ferd - Welcome to BlogBlast For Peace.
Gandalf - You are two of the coolest cats EVER.

Chuckie - Spectacular it will be I'm sure! Cause that's just you ya know....
I'm taking a hiatus to Italy/France/Monte Carlo during this peace globe time but I would do one for you if it wasn't for that. I am afraid my blog time will only be late at night setting up pictures and notes for my husband back home. But may I show one of yours, like the tie die I love, on my sidebar so that people can come see yours and the others?
The Couch is on board and the countdown clock and banner are flying!
looking forward to the Blog Blast yet again....it will be an interesting week to say the least!
Deana - You take whatever you need dear. I would love for you to show it on your blog in your absence. And have a GREAT time. We will await the pictures. You will be emailing me, won't you? How exciting!
Bond - Your heart is peace globes too. Yes, indeed. Smooch.
Katherine - The timing is uncanny, isn't it?
This should be a great day to celebrate. Perhaps my peace globe may not be spectacular, but it has a message with bite I hope!
Peace on earth, such a rare event, sadly
Let's do our share every little bit matters

I just grabbed a globe and I'm all in. This is an inspiring idea. Thanks for inviting me.

I was a part of it last year, and this year I knew I had to keep it going. Thanks mimi. :)
Just added a Blog Blast for Peace countdown banner on my blog. Thanks for your inspiring work, Mimi.
I found out about BlogBlast for Peace from the blog "what if this is good as it gets?". I would LOVE to participate. I've put a countdown clock on my blog (Fly Away Home - http://princessladybug.blogspot.com/) and on my MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/princessladybug). I've also emailed you my Peace Globe.
Thanks for what you are doing!
Ruth - Honored to have you.
Chica - People tell me that once they start it, they have to participate each time. The comraderie in the blogosphere is amazing. There are people who actually stay home from work!
Princess - I just visited you and I thank you. Also for the MySpace banner. We need people on MySpace to spread the word. Thank you!
LadyBug - Oops. It's you who has the MySpace page not the other princess above you. Sorry! It looks great! See you on the 6th!
Count me in!
hi again Mimi! I don't see if you actually ever receivecd my globe. I am trying again to send u a link. I think what you're doing is so wonderful. :)
http://luluspetals.blogspot.com/2008/09/blog-post.html
Hi Mimi, I wrote you a long e-mail. I would love to see everyone come sign my petition. This is such a wonderful thing. I am amazed at the power we bloggers have. I would imagine we could get world peace if we all banded together. I think a blogger could be President! I have posted my globe proudly!
http://thevoicesofthem.blogspot.com
This is a wonderful idea.
I'm in! Thanks for reminding me!
Sojourner - I soooo look forward to reading your post.
Lucy - I did receive it yesterday and it will be in the gallery shortly!
Eric - Welcome to peace globes. I really like your site too.
Prin - You're welcome. See you then!
This is the second time for me. Once again, give peace a chance. :)
We're proud and honored to be a part of this memorable event... soon it will reach one and all.
I am in again (fourth time). I just wrote a post that I hope will generate a few more participants. Thanks for all your hard work with this very worthy venture Mimi!
globe done - emailing it post haste
I'll be participating of course. But as usual, I'm surprised over how few (considering how many bloggers there are out there!) bloggers that are participating.
Too busy to demand Peace? Never. One has to TAKE the time needed - and it's not much.
No wonder we still have wars....
I suspect that one thing that can hinder some bloggers is that they got no skill or not in the mood to make their own globe image. OK, it's enough to just sign it or something, but you know, people wanna be the best :-)
So maybe there shouldn't be any demand that you MUST have to make an own peace globe?
Another option could be just to grab a public one and write a post the specific peace day?
Blogger's like choices. This is such an important issue that I think that one has to be as wide open as possible for alternatives to make it spread more.
Maybe even have some sort of competition in the beginning of the "Peace season", of bloggers making a lot of public Peace globes to share with them that won't make their own?
People like to win competitions...
Just a thought :-)
This is awesome I will definitely be there :)
For that I'm back on "blogging-track" I'm really looking forward for next blog blast!
I'll be there!
I just grabbed the button
Big hugs from Germany,
Sonny
I just sent you this year's Peace Globe, Your Highness. I hope it meets with your approval. I've started writing my post and it will be ready on the 6th.

Just got in under the wire. I put the glorious globe on 2 blogs, and signed Mr. Linky as Marian Swift and Shalynne (once for each blog).
Many, many thanks for this!
Bit of a typo,sorry, would love to look around at others just home from work. Daughter coming through door with ear splitting scream of earache off to emerg. peace to all as I tend to my little peach.
Oh shit! somebody should have reminded me:(
Just got mine up today. Sorry MiMi! But better late than never, huh?
Just found your blog yesterday through "Around the island" and what amazing things you are doing! I got a globe event though I am too late for the event.
On Monday's I post "Three Sites To See" and yours was featured today. I hope to spread your word and I will keep reading! Congrats on a great project!
HI MIMI!
We must this year get the OBAMA gifts...

Many people have asked “What can we do for peace?”
Bobby Pizazz demonstrates that individuals can do a lot for peace just by doing what they do best. In his case, since he’s a musician, Bobby Pizazz sings songs for peace then writes and sings more.
There is no need to stress about confronting politicians or the courts because that is not what musicians do. The answer to the above question is simple.
Just do what you do the best you can and when you get the chance, stand up and let your feelings about peace be known.
Obviously, the government has yet to hear and understand the voice of the people. You would think the calls for peace would be hard to ignore.
Calls for peace compete with other messages for attention.
No organization can go head-to-head with the multinational corporations in the arena of spending money to influence government. Without a doubt, they control the purse strings.
Never forget that We The People have the numbers.
Just keep doing what you do best. When you get the opportunity, speak up for peace and add your voice to the multitudes asking for the same thing.
When enough people call for peace, the call will be impossible to ignore.
With peace and love from Norway:
