Now I’m going to add the logos of all the organizations this small entrepreneurial company partners with on their website.The following are just some of the organizations and events we’ve proudly sponsored:
Allegedly, none of them, or few, have anything to do with peace per se. On the other hand—the four favorite words of a Libra—they all exist on the planet and that’s enough reason right there for them to care about peace.
I think we make a terrible mistake when we think that if we’re not Mother Teresa we can’t make a difference to peace. She made quite a difference, it’s true, but it was her difference, not mine. My difference is mine; yours is yours. I’m with Lisa and Clementine, love like your dog! Bark for peace. Woof.

Thanks so much for the shout-out! At B4P! we do understand peace-making in broad, life-living, life-learning terms!
This is what I call our "Peace Paragraph": At Bark for Peace! we believe that peace is more than the absence of war, rather we work and hope toward the absence of suffering and the flourishing of all! Our dogs show us- peace is: rambunctious joy, relentless love, abundant sharing, creative compassion, companioning solidarity and ever-extended forgiveness! That’s why we say: “Love like your dog!”™
I heard someone say at a conference recently that the owner/founder of Celestial Seasonings Tea had sold the company and told Mother Teresa that he was going to do charity work and she sharply said "NO! You can do more good where you are!"
My favorite Mother Teresa quote is "We can do no great things- only small things with great love."
Keep barkin' for peace! woof!woof! lisa, Clementine, Bounce, Banjo & the Forever FORD
