April 13th was young Louis’ birthday…
A Special Request to you from the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute
| 
| | Blessed Wednesday All,
I want to thank everyone who has supported The Peace Institute all these years. Today, April 13th- is my son, Louis Brown's birthday. He would have been 33. My family and I take this day as a time of reflection; The rain is a sign that spring is here washing away the old and making room for new birth, the flowers will bloom and the grass will be green before you know it. Today I ask you all to honor Louis' young life by doing the following:
We use these 7 principles to guide us personally, professionally & spiritually on our journey toward Peace- choose ONE to focus on for Wednesday 4.13.11. and I've included some actions- or you can come up w/ your own & share it w/ me.
1)Love: make a love gift to the Survivors Burial Assistance Fund & help another family
2)Unity: create a Mothers Walk team in honor of your loved one or etsablish a virtual walk and help us to meet our fundraisng goal (www.ldbpeaceinstitute.org)
3)Faith: be encouraging & not degrading to self and others
4)Hope: plan to attend Hip Hop 911 Play @ RCC (4/23/11) & watch sibling survivors be the hope & motivation for the next generation
5)Courage: have the courage to give a stranger a compliment
6)Justice: take time to look beyond the surface of the person you are judging (someone is judging you)
7)Forgiveness: meditate on- "the heart that holds forgiveness heals itself." then apologize to someone whom you may have hurt. (This does not have to be physical harm.)
In Peace
