Each of us is either:
- contributing to #peace, listening and understanding, nurturing love and enhancing nature, or
- inflammatory, divisive, judgemental, damaging or worse.

"Be the #change you wish to see". It doesn't matter if it's hard!

I listened to this #TedTalk about #Peace while baking today.

To achieve Peace:

1- #Listen to the locals, to the local women, to the soldiers. They know. Be ready to #change your own ideas on the issues

2- Leave money out. It's NOT the answer to peace.

Purpose, People, Place, Health incl. Mental, Provision, based on needs are all factors in #innerpeace.

Taking responsibility for our peace is maturity, wisdom. With more of that, the world will be a paradise.

Concerning, mad...
Yet peacefully, wisely, Venezuela didn't react. #Peace 🙏☮️
I send love for a week of grieving 🫂❤️

No need to be bombarded more, send young people to be killed, show up ego.

Several countries have understood that no reaction stops the action. Hoping all do, no fear, no war. #Love.

You got to start somewhere... And it's growing...
A solution to reduce aviation emissions is in our individual hands: halving our plane travels by 2030 and halving that again by 2040.
I have. I now only travel to visit family🫂.
It also reduces overtourism.
More time for the garden! Win win win🌳🌏

While many countries boost their military spending and send ratepayers money to the USA to buy killing machines, it will NOT protect them from the US oversized steamroller army.

I believe more in peace building, reducing international dependency and community resilience. I don't fall in the fear.

And this apnews.com/article/tax-...

Why does the OECD bend? So that the richest will be richer. How many millions does one need?

It's not how wealth will be redistributed nor money available to repair the failing planetary systems...

Reasons are growth imperatives, petrol, and anti socialism ideology.

The USA administration was also democratically elected. Hey People, please think before you vote!

Just like that, USA annex a country, imprison its democratically elected leader and take possession of its resources. Worse than staggering and bullying.
Colonialism, piracy, no word, confronting.

I command the country for not reacting -which would have provoked a deluge of war and death. #Peace

That's the programme I saw on TV on the first day of 2026

Waoh. The economy imperatives is bulldozing the planet, bombing actually.

Divesting is an effective way to not contribute to military industries. In NZ, Kiwibank and Cooperative Bank are #ethical and committed away from war and fossil fuels. Pathfinder offers ethical kiwisaver. Mindful Money lists all funds and their contents. Is your money contributing to war? Not mine.

I can't do much about what's happening in another country but last year, I have written a letter (and 60 people signed it) to the NZ PM and Ministers concerned with war regenerativelifestyle.blog/2025/07/09/o...

I don't agree with NZ$9billions spent by our govt on military. NZ is NOT threatened.

Yes, it is wonderful. It's magical that one person -and nature- can create this in just 20 years.

Our silver birch forest: 60 silver birches of 6 different varieties planted in a bare paddock 18 years ago along the road. They grow fast, create privacy, break the wind, absorb pollution. For 3 years, birds and mushrooms have been living here. Walking through is magical. Beautiful #ForestFriday

Intentions and resolutions:

My intention is to share and foster a fair, healthy, ethical, conscious world. With love.

I will do "Friday For The Future", dedicating time every Friday for our incredible unique planet and its lucky blessed inhabitants, humans and ALL.

Starting with #ForestFriday
