This morning my dear friend Lynne Hazelden passed away. In her memory I wanted to share the story of when I met her.
In 2009 a very insistent Lynne came across a Facebook page I was building called the Eaupening. She loved what I was up to because it was in alignment with what she had been up to. She was looking for a partner to help her build her foundation. The first year across the ocean we organized concerts for Peace. We had 16 live concert events web-stream into our website. The next year we joined forces with Peace Day TV and had over 6 Million viewers of #PeaceDay events.Lynne We talked on Skype for years before finally this summer we got to meet in person. She was just the same as she was on Skype. We spent days together laughing, exploring and hanging out at the Deepak Chopra Centre. We promised each other we would go back. This summer she was supposed to come to Canada for a camping trip. She spent hours on the phone talking with my little girl, she always wanted to know what all of my kids were up to and with genuine compassion cared about all of the events in my life.
Six years of talking on Skype and co-creating events with an ocean between us has shown me that anything is possible! Peace is not only possible but exists, Lynne encouraged us to celebrate the Peace that we have in our lives every day. I am so glad that she is no longer going through the struggle of getting better... but I miss her! I miss her as my earth Angel and friend. I have a hole in my heart now that she has passed on.
Lynne was an Peace Pioneer, GoodWill Ambassador, Transformation Facilitator/Coach, Poet, Writer, Actress - Founder Planting Seeds & The Kind

I Love the tribute that Lynne's friend Olma Edeki wrote for her:
"You came into our lives Lynney like a flowing river... You touched our hearts in ways we never imagined..
You freed many of us from a small world of individual pursuit, causing a movement of love, generosity and compassion; a community that came together in sun, rain, sweat, tears and joys to accompany you in your journey which today has become endless..
As my mind struggles to understand that this journey had a different turning; my heart knows that your time is endless and lies beyond the hands of time..
You've freed yourself from the complaints of the body.. You've crossed over to the other shore.. And I'll never forget the light you brought into each one of our hearts.
Thank you Lynney for standing for something bigger than yourself, for being extraordinary , magical and out if this world..
Thank you, all of you, for your support, love and stand for Lynney..
For every penny raised, event created and attended, for every breakthrough, for every fear faced and every conversation had.
Thank you for allowing Lynney to touch your heart.
Rest in Peace my beautiful friend.. Missing you so deeply."
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.
