I began My Peace Project a couple years ago. Not knowing what exactly I was starting, I dove in anyway. Now, I finally have a name for the growth I have been racing toward. My Peace Project is simply the journey I am on to find more peace in my chaotic world. I finally realized that the "happiness" I had been chasing and studying and experimenting with is simply an emotion and emotions come and go with the ebb and flow of life. I would be CHASING, without success, this happiness my entire life, and I was exhausted. After cyclic melt-downs and years of high functioning depression I decided to give in and let go of "happiness." At that moment, a beautiful thought occurred to me.. What if. What if there is more than happiness, something more permanent. Something that can sit with me and my depression and be present in my best and most beautiful moments? A state of being instead of a fleeting emotion...What if I could be at peace? Join me on my path as I stumble, fall, fail forward, and attempt to figure it all out!
