In the incredibly difficult and divisive world in which we live, there is ever more the need for people, communities and cities to come together with the spirit of our common humanity and find common ground. Peace Day, September 21, is an incredible opportunity to do this.

How do YOU practice peace in your life?

Stay focused, stay positive, and try not to react to negative climates that I have no control over.

Maintain a good balance between family, work, and community.

Take care of minds, body, and spirits through outdoor activities and meaningful connections.

I work for peace by fostering collaboration, reducing polarization, and encouraging thoughtful conversation. My contribution to peace is helping people connect across perspectives through our shared humanity and by creating spaces where people feel heard, valued, and respected.

I try my best to lead with curiosity, assume best intentions, and listen to understand. When I feel myself getting tense, I take a deep breath - and ask a question. Peace begins with each one of us.
