Publisher’s Corner

Barbara Gaughen-Muller is a peace activist, educator, Peace Podcast host and Gratitude Ambassador.

Happy New Year! What a wonderful time of year to spread joy and to wish you peace.

I’m often asked how I can be so positive and enthusiastic? It’s a choice I make as I meet such amazing people working to bring peace to our world. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have these conversations about peace.

What amazes me is how many people around the world are working for peace. It is a gift to be able to meet these incredible Peacebuilders through PeacePodcast.org conversations. Sharing them with you and our Peace Community Magazine readers is my joy. In this issue, you will meet the first 100 of these peace heroes.

Knowing so many of these tireless peace builders has made me a positivity magnet, seeing the best in everyone I meet. It gives me joy to see smiling faces when I share even the smallest compliments that brighten the day of people I meet. I think each of us can do something every day to bring Peace to our world and make ourselves positivity magnets.

May 2023 bring peace to us all. – Gratefully, Barbara
