Today I am legally blind.
Over the past decade, lattice dystrophy, a degenerative eye disease I inherited from my mother, has chipped away my independence. I can no longer drive a car. My corneas are shot and…
Profile Information
- What country do you live in?
- My name is LeGRANDE GREEN, Executive Director at Spirit MediaWorks. (www.spiritmediaworks.net)
- Do you have a favorite quote to share?
- "The future is this moment, not some place else out there. - Tina Turner, "Paradise is Here"
- What is your interest in PeaceWork?
- I have always been guided by an inner spirit directing me towards peace- even when the outer wanted to fight everything and anything around me. Peace is definitely the way-- and that's no corny cliche either. There comes a time in everyone's life when you must choose between conscious giving or unconscious living.
I choose to give!
- How long have you been involved in PeaceMaking?
- 17 years, starting with my time with Oprah Winfrey back in the early 90s.
- Are you currently involved in any non-profit or volunteer work?
- For five years (2003-2009), I served on the Board of Trustees at Unity on the Bay in Miami, where I was elected as Vice President. I was also the coordinator for Adventures In Faith, our annual community outreach program with over 1000 members in 100+ in-home study groups.
- What is your Passion? Your Purpose?
- Media consulting and helping people find their authentic voice. At Spirit MediaWorks, a media consulting company I co-founded in 2003, it is our passion to produce and promote people, products and programs that enhance our lives and inspire our souls. I've worked in broadcasting for two decades, most prominently as a supervising senior producer at The Oprah Winfrey Show where I picked up four Daytime Emmys and a NAACP Image Award for Best Talk/News Documentary.
- How do any products or services you offer contribute to making the world more peaceful?
- We are currently developing content for an online broadband network for spiritual seekers and world movers.
- Is there anything else that you'd like us to know about you?
- As Julie Andrews would warble, "These are a few of my favorite things" : movies (Shawshank Redemption, All About Eve,Tootsie, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off).... food (tabouli, sushi, Froot Loops. NOT at the same time though!)...cities (Barcelona, Vancouver, Cap d'Antibes in South of France)....musical artists (Sting, Annie Lennox, Seal, Madonna, George Michael, Sade)
- Do you have a SKYPE name?

I am writing you to ask if you can help spread the word about Globalfamily Day (one day of peace and sharing), celebrated every January 1st by the citizens of the world. It is a day where individuals and families share food with friends (especially the needy), make personal pledges of non-violence, and spread a message of peace and sharing by ringing a bells or beating a drum in hopes of making society and the world a safer place to live.
Globalfamily Day is an official international day of peace and sharing. The day was co-founded by Linda Grover and Congressman John Conyers (chief sponsor of the Martin Luther King holiday). Globalfamily Day has twice received the unanimous support of the U.S. Congress (S. Con. Res. 138, S. Res. 582, H. Con. Res. 317), the UN General Assembly (Resolutions 54/29 and 56/2), thirty-plus sitting heads of state and ambassadors representing more than 2/3 of the worlds population.
We have two brand new resolutions pending in the US Senate and House of Representatives (S. Res. 357 and H. Con. Res. 221) asking all Americans to observe Globalfamily Day on January 1, 2010 and asking President Obama to invite world leaders to celebrate Globalfamiy Day. These resolutions will be introduced in congress this week. We are holding a press conference on Capitol Hill on December 16th. We hope we can get President Obama to support our initiative and get him to use Globalfamily Day as one of his Nobel Laureate projects.
Would you or any of your friends and associates be interested in helping us spread the word about the importance of celebrating a day of peace? If you are interested and available, please let me know how I can reach you by telephone or email. Feel free to call or email me at any time. Thank you so much for your wonderful thoughs. I hope we can continue this conversation. Carpe diem!
Sincerely
Matthew Mullen, National Director

Some months ago, the unknown word mahaivi resounded in my mind at night. I took down a poem about Love and Life. And I sketched a symbol of Life. The following morning I looked up the word. It was an old Polynesian word that means "to live and be alive". We are officially launching it on 1/1/9. Please visit www.mahaivi.net and help to spread it as a universal symbol of Peace, Love and Life.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Pedro

I'll be posting the info to the front page of the site here soon...
Tough choice, but I vote for LA!
Peace out,
Alana
Really happy to see you here. Hope you'll share your gifts abundantly, with our community! I noticed you left a message for Charlie and joined the HUB group.
The good news is, HUB is going strong. The other news is, Charlie lost his password for moderating that group, and we've both been too busy to get that sorted out so he can respond once again!
The other good news is, I work closely with him as a graphics coordinator for HUB and will do my best to bring your page to his attention. Why don't you have a look at my HUB page to get a good picture of what we're up to: http://peaceportal.hubhub.org
If you'd like to get the big picture and meet the amazing, brilliant people who are HUB - please come to LA for Awakening the Brilliance on May 2, 3, 4.
If you will come, I'll give you a free ticket!
With Love,
Alana
