Shannon’s Thoughts:

The 12 Steps To Peace is basically the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 step program but written in a way that we can use the steps towards a goal of world peace.

The author of this is an Alcoholic Anonymous member and describes a lot of the steps he went through as an alcoholic which I believes helps transfer the way we should think about peace. Especially since some of the steps are really a way to welcome peace and balance to yourself.

Some of the other ways the author Johnny F. describes things going on in some countries is confusing to me because I hear or see was is going on and my brain just down when the reasons for wars or terrorism, my brain just stops making sense of things and all I can think is I don’t understand.   So yes there is some talk of wars going on now and politics but I can not really transfer what that means I should do about those things happening.

I think this was a really good idea taking steps to change yourself is the main thing you can do to make peace happen because you can not change anyone but yourself.

That Day In September by Artie Van Why

Most of us remember the day and will never forget it.  It was a day that changed not only the lives of the U.S.A. but the World. 9/11 can be seen as a day of great tragedy for all the lives that had been lost that day.   It can also be seen as a day that many learned to live again or live for those that are no longer with us.

That Day In September is a memoir about a man who worked across from the twin tower the day of the attacks on 9/11 and how that day and the lives of those lost changed his life.  The novel takes you from the day of the attacks to present day of how it changed Artie Van Why’s life.

DISCUSS IN THE COMMENTS

1) Where were you the day of 9/11? What were your first thoughts when you found out about the attacks?

2) How has your life been affected after that day?  Do you live in fear or do you live your life more fully now?

*my answer will be in the comments. I realize I haven’t been answering the questions myself and will do so more often.
