A DAY OF GRATITUDE AND THANKS to focus on all the good being created by people all across the globe.

On Peace Day 21st September

For all people actively creating PEACE everyday For Nature, Humanity and the Environment

We are creating a place where humanity can shine.

On this International Day of Peace there is a ceasefire. We are raising awareness and celebrating the day when we as humanity lay down our weapons by conscious choice.

All organizations can stand as one this day in gratitude and thanks. This will shift people’s attention to the difference we’re all making, thus reigniting the spirit of contribution. People will have no doubt about the difference that funding and donations have accomplished. This will restore faith in the good work being done. With the knowledge it works, people will contribute more time and money because they can actually see measurable results Charities, NGO’s, Social Enterprises, Businesses & Community Services can thank those who contribute:

• The generous contributors who fund the work • Those on the ground making it happen who work day in and day out, who never get acknowledged and thanked. Sometimes in terribly difficult circumstances. Let us let them be known, and express our gratitude for their efforts. How to thank them? • Directly by newsletters, emails, blogs or through the media, highlighting the Good News about their achievements this year. In this way, the outcomes will be acknowledged and we will bring our attention to the peace that has, and is being created, not just on one day but every day. • The Celebrities or people of note can create gratitude videos sharing the good news and thanking the people on the ground who create the peace. They can now be the voice thanking everyone, instead of asking for more. They can post them on our site or their own website and blog. Not forgetting they can tweet using #gratitude or #thanks tags as well as offering the free Peace Certificate.

Individuals, Friends and Families will be able to thank people who they care about in their lives and communities -This day is for everyone to be recognized and acknowledged.

• Those who have helped them at home, at work or at school and those who care for them • The millions of people who are full time carers - this is their day • Those who provided a service or contribution : • Our Nurses, Doctors, Firemen, Teachers, Policemen, Lifeguards • Our Community Services, Social Workers and Volunteer Networks • Helplines and Social Networks, • Our national services and those who serve within them • The people who recycle, spend time working for nature and conservation



Medium:

* Features on Radio Stations and Television news networks. Celebrities, notable leaders or anyone can call in to thank someone. • Thank people via Newsletters, Blogs, Video Blogs, Facebook Pages and Social Networks.

• On Peace Day we can all send out emails of gratitude or send out cards, gifts, video

messages. Participate in Activities for good. Make an act of peace. Association, Charities, Companies, Organizations, Government Bodies let people know about the day. Thank co-workers for their contribution. Send out newsletters sharing the outcomes and thanking those who did the work and funded it. Stand in celebration in gratitude & thanks for the Peace that we do have! We are creating PEACE in OUR Lifetime.

We also host a Global United Party for Peace. Last year in 5 countries with 21 Events that were streamed live onto our site and into 3 D Virtual World Second Life. http://www.peaceinourlifetime.org/peace_day_21st_sept_2009 Photo from our London Event:



About Peace in OUR Lifetime Peace in OUR Lifetime offers a free personalized peace certificate to each person who consciously chooses to Stand in Peace. Their voice is counted in efforts to recognize 1 billions souls standing united in celebration of the Peace that is. We will also supply this certificate to organizations who wish to also offer the certificate, (without coming to our site and no registration or email is required.) Until we can see the Peace that is being created already, we will not know peace, or feel empowered to create more peace. Together we can restore faith and realize that peace begins with each one of us and ripples out. We can begin now and give this planet back to the people who are making a difference everyday. As we shift our experience from one of power and force to one where we see the differences we are making and inspire people to help, work together and bring change to their life locally. This will restore faith in our ability to create peace. Peace will be known to exist as the bigger part of who we are. We will be in action rather than being overwhelmed with the idea. Peace is possible because we are already creating it every day.. maybe .. we just did not see it!

"We're all unique and see the world differently and yet, we are ONE VOICE standing together for Peace"

Having a Peace Certificate shows that a person has made a conscious choice to Stand for PEACE. It is a gift to thank them and a way everyone one can be counted collectively, as one voice for peace. They can put their free Peace Certificate anywhere: Post it as their profile picture. They can print it on a t-shirt, mug or make a poster of it and share it anywhere they choose.

This is a day to honor all of those groups and people who work for peace everyday, all year long. I am a member of the PeaceJam Foundation and we are excited to be supporting Peace In Our Lifetimes' "Global United Parties for Peace" in cities around the world and the United Nation's annual global cease fire. Until everyday is Peace Day, it is important that we do all we can to create a safe and just world -- we owe this to children across the globe." James Twyman, 'The Peace Troubadour' and internationally renowned best-selling author: "I love the vision of this project and the creativity that inspired it. Today more and ever before we need to think outside the box and offer new ideas that help humanity see its own potential,“ said James, “This idea does all of that and I'm in full support."

Dr. Thomas D. Zweifel, Global leadership and cross-cultural management consultant, keynote speaker and award-winning author: “We must do everything in our power to bridge differences -- differences between people, groups, or nations. Human initiatives like Peace In Our Lifetime are vital to our common future as humanity. I salute Lynne Hazelden and her colleagues, and it is my fervent wish that Peace In Our Lifetime become a global movement that will reshape the way we resolve conflict -- not by the sword but by standing in each other's shoes."

Marcia Johnson Co-CREATOR of Peace in OUR Lifetime & CEO of the Eaupening “Every action that WE take, every decision that WE make matters... WE matter. Together WE are creating the future that WE want to see in the world. It is up to all of us to celebrate and focus on the Peace that WE do have, so that we can shift our collective focus onto creating more of the same. Globally WE can Stand together in gratitude and thanks in celebration for the Peace that we have every day. By shifting our perspective from ‘fear based thinking’ to creating Solutions out of possibilities, WE create an Eaupening (opening) for change and opportunity. Not only is Peace possible, it is at the core of our human experience. It is up to all of us to unit in elevating the Peace that is into the ripple effect of Peace Abundance that can be. "

Steve Balsamo ~ www.myspace.com/stevebalsamo www.stevebalsamo.co.uk Voice 0,000,000,525 “I am really looking forward to performing at 'Peace In Our Lifetimes' London 'Global United Party For Peace' event,” said Steve Balsamo, “To mark and celebrate a day when human beings lay down our weapons as a conscious choice is important. I'm honoured to be communicating this important message through music.” Mike Lindup ~ www.mikelindup.com Voice 0,000,003,497 "It is very easy to want "World Peace" and yet fail to see where we have created conflict in our personal lives. So I think peace definitely begins at home, in the near relationships, in the heart , with yourself. In that spirit I am honoured to be given the opportunity to create peace on this day." Heather Cairncross ~ Grammy Award Winner, www.altovoice.com Voice number 0,000,000,005 “I have had the privilege of being a close friend of Lynne Hazelden for over ten years. She has always shown tremendous compassion and support towards all of her friends but that special care always stretched further into her love of nature and the planet. This Peace Day Concert has been created as an organic extension of her ability to be open to people and their needs and act as a catalyst for change. I am honoured to have the opportunity to take part in this extraordinary event which celebrates the power of the ordinary person to join together with their fellow man to create one voice calling for Peace on our Planet." Antonio Forcione ~ Italian guitarist, composer and performer, www.antonioforcione.com Voice number 0,000,003,920 "It's a great idea; to link up around the world and make a stand for something everyone believes in. That's how it is nowadays - we have the technology to unite on an issue the whole world supports. History has shown, artists and musicians often lead the way and eventually politicians follow!”

Porscha Parker ~ www.porschaparker.com Voice 0,000,003,660 "Peace in our Lifetime" is a valuable worldwide event to achieve World Peace.
