Day 80

Today was the day I had the opportunity to speak at the homeless shelter in Nevada County. It’s interesting, but as we (Kelli Came with me and took the video in this post) approached the building, I was feeling a bit disjointed, because my knee is still not cooperating, and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say. So, just before I began, I took a couple of deep breaths, closed my eyes and asked my Spirit Guides to help me speak from my heart.

I gave some background and shared why I felt the need to do the Walk. Next, I invited questions/conversation:

After the questions, I went around the room and invited each person to draw a card from the 1conversation for Peace deck. When everyone had drawn a card, I asked if anyone wanted to share their question and the answer to it, and soon, several people were engaged in the conversation and talking about Peace. These are two of the people who shared.

I am so grateful to have spent time with these folks this afternoon. One of the young men in the room leaned over to me as he drew his card and said, “I so believe in what you’re doing. Thank you.”. Another woman shared about finding Peace through walking, and said “I totally get you”. One of the men was making comments under his breath about manifesting and Walking for Peace being b******t, and… he drew a card, and put it back, and drew another card, and put it back, and drew another card, and kept it. A beautiful moment from a day in the life of this Peace Walker.
