I dedicate this Inner Peace Award to the Police Officers who I believe are the greatest Peacekeepers and Peacemakers not only at the local, and national but also international level. Sometimes their efforts and strive to bring about Peace for us comes at a cost of loss of their own Inner Peace. I salute them for their sacrifices towards making this world a better, peaceful place for us to live.
“Law Enforcement Officers are never ‘off duty’, they are dedicated public servants who are sworn to protect public safety at any time and place that the Peace is threatened. They need all the help that they can get.” (Barbara Boxer)
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to two people who have nominated me for the prestigious Inner Peace Award. My dearest friends Summer at summer4soul.wordpress.com and Ajay at Ajaytao2010.wordpress.com. Without a doubt they are ambassadors of Peace since they inspire us with their blogs. I agree with what Summer said in the nomination post that it’s not up to us to start a movement for Peace since we are in a learning process. On an individual basis, I think we can all make a little difference to this world by writing about peace and promoting it through our blogs.
“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the centre of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.” Black Elk
I believe that it is important for our souls to have Inner Peace. We all must promote it further and spread it all around us. Without Peace within, there cannot be Peace without.
“If you love me as you say you do,” she whispered, “make it so that I am at Peace.” (Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina)
All of you have beautiful souls where resides the precious Inner Peace. It is clear in your inspiring words and lovely thoughts that you share on your blogs.
I quote the very words of Summer here for all of you,
“We all are born with a pure heart. That ‘pure inside’ of you, will always be a part of you no matter what. And when you have a hard time, don’t ever quit believing in your goodness. Because it’s your gift to know and share about Peace, Love and Respect with every living being on earth and also important..with yourself.”
Thank you, for being your beautiful selves my friends.
“Peace is not something you wish for, it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away”. (Robert Fulghum)
I give all of you this Inner Peace Award.. I would like to thank each one of you for your lovely comments, the follows, your kind words and the beautiful and inspirational thoughts that you share with us all.
Please feel free to accept this Award and add it on your blog. There is just one rule. When you pass the award on, please share some kind words with that person.
And now I pass on the following No Rules Awards To all of you. There are no rules to follow and no link backs to these awards. Enjoy picking up some flowers and some unique leaves before you leave my friends.
Thanks Ajaytao2010.wordpress.com for nominating me for this beautiful award. As usual my apologies for the late post. You understand everything my brother and will forgive me with an open heart, I know.
Thanks Ajaytao2010.wordpress.com for another lovely nomination. Your generosity knows no bounds. When I said that you have given me so many nominations, you replied that I deserved every nomination more than you. I disagree with you here, my brother. You are the greatest of us all.
Thanks Ajaytao2010.wordpress.com for another Awesome nomination.

It is entirely up to you to choose the number of nominees. I have not listed the names of the nominees on my post since the bloggers who nominated me did the same . I think this practice of going to the blog and nominating and not showing the nominees list on the blog is done not to hurt people you cannot nominate. I hope this helps and if not do let me know and I would be glad to answer.
