LET'S BE PEACE - The Premise

LET’S BE PEACE… Origin Story
 
First, I’ll tell you about the origin of the LET’S BE PEACE Book, Movement and eventually podcast.  It all started for me almost two dozen years ago when I was working for Jewel and her mom, Lenedra Carroll.   Lenedra wrote a book titled  “Architecture of All Abundance” and it was published around the time I worked for them.  In it Lenedra speaks about Being Peace and what that can mean to an individual and the world.  What I gleaned from her writing is that as an individual if we attain Peace inside that will promote peace in the world.  That concept touched me deeply  and I began using #BePeace in my social media posts.  Several years later  I asked my niece Alissa what she thought of #BePeace she said she thought it was too demanding.  I considered that,  and agreed, and soon changed my posts and my evolution of the concept to #LetsBePeace. The idea has evolved inside of me from there.
 
After writing and publishing my prescriptive memoir IT’S ABOUT TIME: My Award-Winning TV Adventure where I included a chapter about my spirituality and one chapter about health and wellness, I knew I had much more to say about both and planned on writing a sequel to the memoir.  At a workshop with the amazing Sara Connell, Founder of The Thought Leader Academy, it became clear to me that I needed to make it into a collaborative book.  The tone of the book I was planning needed to have the LET’S BE PEACE theme and also to address my passion for Alternative Health and Wellness modalities.  Previously I worked with a wonderful collaboration of individuals on what was to be a Broadcast TV or Cable channel about Health, Wellness and Positivity.  The channel has not yet manifested but the concept percolates inside of me still and I know a form of it will see the light of day.
 
There were and are many  alternative Health modalities that I have used in my personal road to wellness, it occurred to me that I needed the experts to describe their modalities in order to give readers an accurate sense of what is available and how they can access them for themselves.  I’ve always said I don’t care what you do, I simply want to help you know there are many options and I’ve felt it is part of my mission to help people explore some of those.  So that’s how it was determined to do a collaborative book with experts either writing their own chapter, answering questions that I have posed or have me interview them and then have their interview transcribed and made into a chapter.  Most chose the interview model and I am currently in the process of editing those and adding my introduction to each. 
 
Early next year (2024)  I will start a podcast with the LET’S BE PEACE theme and the book will be published.. simply when it’s ready!
 
So in this first LETS BE PEACE Blog let me simply say the first piece of advice I give in how  to Be Peace is to LOVE and TRUST yourself.
 
Many more tips coming in the coming weeks and months and perhaps next time I’ll share the primary questions that the experts have responded to some degree in their contributions.
 
Meanwhile, LET’S BE PEACE!
