LOOKING FOR YOGA SPACE

 

After nearly a year at our wonderful yoga center above the Island Hammock Animal Hospital, KTP Yoga Program is seeking a new home. Dr. Martha Edwards and John Kocol, our Center benefactors, are expanding their animal care space and so we are currently looking for another place to hold regular classes. We appreciate their support of the program and wish them continued success.

 

We are open to exploring options -- from a donated, full-time Center to space we can use on a regular basis. Indoors works best -- big windows or outside access are bonuses!

 

We need your help, energy, ideas and sparks....please send leads, with any background info or contact people you have, to www.keystopeace.com We have already looked into Key Largo Park, Mangrove Marina, and a dance studio in Key Largo.

 

Let's all put our energy into co-creating a new community yoga center.

 

In the meantime, our teachers are available for private lessons. Some are also teaching at local yoga studios -- Paradise Yoga across from Founder's Park and Froggy's Gym in Tavernier. KPJ also offers yoga further south in Islamorada. We suggest you check with these businesses for exact times, fees and location.

 

Let's see what we manifest in 2012 for KTP Yoga !

 

In Peace,
Marilyn Rogers (KTP secretary and yoga coordinator)
"THE LONG WALK HOME"
News and Update from Ron Zaleski's
journal and mission

On Wednesday Nov. 23rd I got an email from Laine Evans, Congressman Philip Roe's aid asking if I could come to DC on November 30th to the VA Health Sub Committee. By the time I got the email and called I was unable to reach their office, it was closed for Thanks Giving till Monday Nov. 28th. When I got in touch on Monday she asked if I could make it and told me the meeting was on Friday Dec. 2nd? I said, yes.

Over the Thanks Giving weekend I got in touch with a retired pilot, Ron Cole who got me a Buddy Pass to fly there. I also got in touch with Russell Morris who had emailed me a year ago from DC saying he supported what we were doing and asked if I could stay with him while I was in DC, he said, yes. I called Paul Sullivan with Veterans for Common Sense telling him I was to go before the Committee and asked what I should do to make the biggest impact as I only have one chance. He told me to go a day before the meeting to introduce myself to everyone on the committee and submit a letter to each of them stating what we want, why we want it, why I did it and a list of questions to ask themselves about the topic,


Flying in Wednesday night I was met by Russell who took me into his home, fed me and the following day helped me get to the capitol to see the committee members. I spent the day going to all of their offices meeting their aides and handing out our letter. Before the day was done I did get a few condescending looks from some of the staff, maybe because of the absence of shoes? Some were very receptive because they had family in the military.
The last person I went to visit wasn't on the committee, but had got in touch with me when I was walking across the country. I stopped in at Congresswoman Grace Napalitano's office and saw her aide Anne who was my contact. She was so happy to see me I thought I was a long lost relative. She said, I wished I had known, my boss would really like to meet you, are you available later I will call her and see what we can do. I said, yes. I got a call later asking if I could come by the office at 5pm to meet, I said, yes. When I got there at 5pm Anne told me we were going to meet her down on the house floor. When we got there and told the guards what we were doing they let me go to the entrance where Grace came out, she couldn't thank me enough, then introduced me to about 20 Congressmen and women. I was somewhat overwhelmed.
The following day at 9am I was at Congressman Philip Roe's office where he wished me luck and said he would see me at the meeting as he had other meetings to go to. His aid told me I wouldn't be allowed to speak, but would be recognized, I was a little disappointed, but figured God had a plan, which so far has been better then the ones I come up with. Some times I think I could hear him say, What were you thinking? I sat in the front row while the sign I carried across the country was displayed in the back. The chair person Anne Berkele from NY said that Phil Roe asked if he could introduce a special guest, one of his constituents. Phil said, I would like to recognize Ron Zaleski who isn't my constituent, I met him as he walked across the country to raise awareness for Vets and he has legislation with him. When he was done Congressman Reyes from Texas who I met yesterday on the house floor with Grace Napalitano said, I would also like to recognize Ron Zaleski, I have read his legislation and think we should act upon it.
I sat through a few hours of experts with degrees talking about Veterans and when it was over I gave each of them a copy of the petition, had an interview from the paper. The speaker of the committee came to me and said, I was sorry I didn't have you speak, I didn't have enough notice, what can I do for you, my brother was a Marine. I said, we can't wait for the Government, it's up to us to reach out to the individuals not looking at the effect, but the cause. Ask that young man or woman to go for a walk and talk with you. You don't talk, you listen to them. They aren't different from us,we are all the same just having different experiences,
Before I left DC I was told by Ane that Congresswoman Grace Napalitano and Congressman Reyes are working on turning the petition into legislation plus 2 additional points that were in the letter we submitted to the committee. The petition can be found on our website and the 2 additional points are an anonymous PTS support group available for active military personnel and that the family of those coming home are involved in the counseling, for who they sent over isn't who is coming home.

Peace Quotes
"The Keys are shaped like a rope, and the people of the Keys have the ability to use this rope to pull the rest of the country along with it." ~ Gesha-la (Tibetan Buddhist Monk) as translated when he was speaking about Keys to Peace bringing peace into our world.

Imagine all the people
living life in peace.
- John Lennon

When the Power of Love overcomes the
Love of Power,
the world will know Peace.
~Jimmy Hendrix

"The one hope for the future lies, I believe, in Sacred Activism - the fusion of the deepest spiritual knowledge and passion with clear, wise, radical action in all the arenas of the world, inner and outer.

We have very little time in which to awaken and transform ourselves, to be able to preserve the planet, and to heal the divisions between the powerful and the powerless.

Let us go forward now with firm resolve and profound dedication." ~Andrew Harvey

Be the Change youth plan return of

signature program on MLK Day

 

High school youth who have been a part of Be the Change of the Florida Keys (BTC) have been asking for the return of Challenge Day, the organization's signature program for more than two years. In January of 2012 they will get their wish. Alex Castillo, Senior at Coral Shores High School attended Challenge Day as a freshman and ever since has been an enthusiastic advocate to bring the event back. "Challenge Day is important to me because it brings people together, promotes respect and teaches us about caring for one another and the importance of service."

 

The first Challenge Day is scheduled to take place on the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. in honor and celebration of a man who advocated for unity, equality and social justice, all components of the Challenge Day experience. Members of the BTC PeaceJam Youth Board are instrumental in the youth momentum behind planning and implementing the one day workshop as well as all the follow up activities, projects, and events planned in the coming months. Each member of the youth board will attend an event at their school and most will serve as peer facilitators or "Red Shirts" because of the red shirts they wear during the event.

 

Keys To Peace has donated $1000 to Be The Change to help bring Challenge Day to our high schools. Denise Downing, KTP member says of the day, "We encourage our members to 'Be the Change You Want to See In The World' and volunteer one day of your time to the event. It's an inspiring day for everyone!"

A New Year to Practice Loving-Kindness

A New Year to Practice Loving-Kindness; It takes Mindfulness

 

Mindfulness is imperative to acting out of love and kindness. Mindfulness means to be attentive, aware and thoughtful. It is a necessary basis for developing the characteristic trait of loving kindness. These two actions: being mindful, and being kind, are important for creating a world which perpetuates peace and happiness.

 

Each of us is born with a great capacity for loving kindness. Only with a calm mind though, which is free from anger, greed, and jealousy, can the seeds of loving kindness grow. This year let's nurture the seeds of loving kindness in ourselves. Help them take root, and facilitate its maturity by practicing awareness. Let's all live in togetherness with a common interest in being kind and mindful in the new year ahead. By doing this, we will sustain and bolster the force that holds this universe together...and that is - compassion!

Looking for the good in everything will open the doors to the wondrous potential of transforming negative into positive and keep you healthy and grounded. Herein lays the basis for developing habits which will stabilize you emotionally and help you develop genuine happiness.

 

Start tomorrow morning by waking up with smile on your face. Begin your day with happy thoughts. By all means, do not hold grudges into the next day or wake up angry or act mean because you might not have slept well. This will only drain you more and transcend you into the depths of depression. Not to mention drag everyone else around you down.

 

Everyone can imagine something happy. That doesn't mean you have to force a thought of incredible happiness, just formulate a happier thought. It doesn't have to be the happiest thing in the world, just something leading you to inner peace and joy. It can be simple as, "I am happy to be alive!"

 

The realm of forgiveness becomes a sanctuary for knowing love. Forgive yourself first for resisting change. Allow healing vibrations of infinite love and gratitude to perpetuate from acts of forgiveness, hope, accepting, releasing and moving on. Do your best not to rationalize selfishness or even worse, blame others for your ill-feelings. If this is a habit of yours, take full responsibility for yourself and stop it now.

 

By blaming others you take away your ability to accept people for who they are. It hinders your ability to practice loving kindness and achieve the sublime state of equanimity or what is known as "peace of mind." Try using this mantra... "I am peace, and peace is in me."

 

Now is the time to make a shift in your thought processes. Choose to be mindful. Choose to be kind and have a healthy and Happy New Year!

 

Infinite Love & Gratitude!

Island Marketplace Booth

Peaceflagsatmarket

The Island Marketplace -mile marker 101 bay side-is one of the first Keys to Peace permanent public placements. With our booth there, we have the opportunity to become a real hub for peace and community outreach. Already we are the location for the food drop-off spot for a local church food bank, and we're making arrangements to work with local womens shelters in the area to provide assistance. The opportunities are endless --- we're just getting started..

 

The booth is located just about in the center of the space when you come in the door. Items are displayed, and free information is on the tables when no one is at the booth, but when it's manned there are t-shirts, Rubik's cubes, cups, books, necklaces, and tons of other neat things to set up and sell. And we have a large lending library at the booth that is there all the time.

 

The Market's hours are Friday through Sunday,

9 AM - 5 PM and volunteers are needed for 2 or 3 hour shifts. Contact Marlene at 850-291-6896

TEN KEYS TO PEACE  -  By MIMI GREEK

BE HERE NOW: Keep your attention in the present moment. Being upset about
the past and worrying about the future is self defeating. 

FORGIVE: We do not forgive because we "should", or because someone deservesit. We forgive to free ourselves from the bondage of resentment. Die to thepast every moment. Live this moment fully. 

OBSERVE: Notice your thoughts. Which ones make you upset? Which ones makeyou feel better? Remember, you can choose your thoughts. 

FOCUS: Focus on thoughts that help you feel better. You can be master ofyour own mind. 

QUESTION: Often, thoughts that upset you are not true. They are beliefs youhave carried with you from the past. Question thoughts and beliefs. Can yousee things differently? 

MEDITATE: Practice quieting your mind. Make a connection to your Higher Self(Higher Power, God, Universal Energy).  

REMEMBER: Remember your True Self. You are not your thoughts. Remember theYou behind the thinker. 

LISTEN: Listen to your inner voice. It is the voice that guides you,comforts you, and gives you strength. 

SURRENDER: Accept what is. Release all resistance to what is. What we resistwill persist. Breathe. When we accept life the way it is, we find peace.  

EXPECT: Expect positive possibilities.
