Stress Center Peer Support

I was reading a book last night and I read something very inspiring. A woman who was going through a very long and hard divorce decided to write a petition for peace and happiness in her life to God. After she wrote the petition, she thought of every single person who would sign it. Every single person who would want her to have peace and happiness, not just people she knew or people who are alive, but every single person she could think of who would want her to feel content and peaceful. She mentally signed her petition for each person that popped into her mind. Her parents, her siblings, her family, her friends, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mother Theresa, Abraham Lincoln, etc.

So I thought, what a great idea. Why not write a petition to God, or whomever/whatever it is you believe in, for your own peace of mind and happiness in life and mentally sign it for everyone who would want you to be happy, including yourself.

I LOVE this idea, Karilynn- thanks for sharing.

This reminds me of an Am. Lit. teacher who had her students write a Declaration of Independence (most wrote it in regard to their parents- teenagers;*)!). Why don't we all declare independence and freedom from our fears and phobias today? I think this compliments Emma's "Amnestity from Anxiety" day rather well.

If there is anyone out there working for Hallmark- this could be a goldmine!
