Although the grand design behind World Peace Day is meant to persuade global leadership into making decisions that honor peace and not war; founder Don Morris has a much simpler message for those who would celebrate this day.

“Just be kind to one another.”

Recognizing that regional, national or global change cannot occur until individuals also change, the day stands as an invitation for everyone to establish more peace on their lives. Whether by reaching out to an estranged family member, or taking some time each day to relax and reflect in order to reduce stress, there are many ways to honor the virtue of peace.

White roses are thought to inspire peace, and paired with white hydrangea in a crystal sphere they make a serene and beautiful arrangement.

Seeking a peaceful mindset often means finding a place to rejuvenate and refresh. These Bamboo chimes are hand-tuned by professional musicians, and with varying lengths each set of chimes produces a unique, soothing melody sure to calm any jangled nerves.
