I have seen this constantly since Friday. It is really cool.

Thanks, @Nancy Drew

I didn't think I was the first!! :-)

But it is very cool.

Oh, very cool! I've always been a peace-symbol girl - big fan. I like the cool things I've seen done with it over recent years. One of my favs is the rainbow-colored peace symbols. This Eiffel Tower one is wonderful.

I was immediately drawn to this image when I saw it over the weekend, but I'm a peace symbol girl.

I felt just a little differently this morning after I read Rich Lowry's article in the New York Post, "Paris Doesn't Need Your Hashtag Heroics." If interested you can google it, my links never seem to work on this forum, I must be hotlink challenged.

Here is a quotation from his article: "Paris — and more broadly, France and the West — needs more surveillance of suspected terrorists and police raids; a more restrictive immigration policy that doesn’t create large, unassimilated Muslim populations, or welcome terrorists as refugees; and a serious, multi-layered campaign to destroy ISIS and deny it the safe havens from which it recruits, trains and plots against the West."

Everyone should tune in to last night's Stephen Colbert Show to see it as well.

I just read the article. http://nypost.com/2015/11/16/paris-doesnt-need-your-hashtag-heroics/

He has an excellent point and I agree that often we all depend too much on these symbols without it leading to anything of consequence. I also remember a recent comment you made about the Vince Flynn character. He was one of my favorite characters and pretty much everything he did had great consequence.

That's why I included the tantrum opinion piece link in my first post. I'm not sure if one needs to be a subscriber to read it.

Caroline Myss, she's the old broad who informs folks they aren't as old as they feel or think. I like her though what she pushes isn't so new.

Hi @Puzzle Piece She may not necessarily have "new" to offer but she has been offering it for many, many years. I've learned from her. I've also learned things from you.

@Puzzle Piece, @GingerPeach,

Caroline Myss, I've read all her books, listened to multitudes of her audio cassettes/CDs. Anatomy of the Spirit is my favorite book of hers, Spiritual Madness my fav audio, and my favorite story the one she told about the woman who came upon a bad accident and prayed for the person involved. That was a woman who was "out of body" briefly From her injury and could "see" the prayers, as well as the not so prayerful thoughts, and in this state memorized the license number of the car with the woman praying so fervently. When the accident victim recovered, she tracked the prayerful woman down and paid her a visit to say "Thank you." That one story completely changed the way I looked at prayer, as well as the quality of the thoughts I think in general.

@GingerPeach, big THANKS for posting the NYP article link! You are a sweet!

@MaggieMack

I have that set, too. I loved that story. It really resonated with me. Thank you for reminding me of that.

@MaggieMack I believe the story. I've heard a number of incidents like that. Folks needn't be afraid to come forth with such experiences. So many learn and have hope from them.

@GingerPeach Don't take my post as a negative. I truly appreciate the middle aged and young seniors letting the world know that age and aging isn't a crime nor something where a woman isn't considered desireable or s*xy. We have a lot of years left in us after 40. Another gal Robin McGraw (sp) promotes positive outlooks for us gals. I enjoyed her book "What's Age Got To Do With it". There's another female but I don't have her name correct, Miranda Esmond White?
