Stories of Kindness from Around the World

This past summer I had attened a retreat, where we created a Peace Project.  About 60 of us all scattered through out Chicago, recently met for the last retreat.  The night before the retreat, my close friend and I made my peace project come alive; we made over 70 necklaces that we handed out to everyone with personal note.

Here are the descriptions of the 7 different colored beeds:

• The color that chose you is green. Green- asking you to see the victory over dullness, to have hope, and to find happiness throughout your life. What is asked of you is to wear the necklace as a reminder of what it symbolizes. If you are ever asked what this necklace symbolizes or means you are to pass this necklace forward to whom ever because they are being called to it. Then have them tie a knot to symbolize the journey of small pieces of peace on a string.
