Peace X Peace

January 19, 2008 · Posted in Uncategorized 

Through the Communication Initiative I learned of Peace X Peace, “pronounced peace by peace.” They are DC-based and provide a “global network [to] connect individuals and circles of women everywhere in the world, through the Internet, for spirited conversation and mutual support.” It looks like they primarily use video, radio and email to develop women’s leadership skills. On their website they have a preview of a film they’ve made that followed women leaders in Argentina, Afghanistan, Burundi and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Patricia Smith Melton founded Peace X Peace with her husband, Bill Melton, who is a businessman with Global Internet Ventures and was part of America Online.

And, just to contemplate how deep a hole we are in, take a look at this hilarious video about the Bush Administration’s misdeeds: http://blip.tv/file/520347

    Thanks, Sharon! I’m the editor of PeaceTimes, and I was delighted to see us featured in your last post. I hope you will join Peace X Peace, if you haven’t already. It sounds like we have very much the same goals.

    Digitized Heart is a wonderful name, by the way. How old is your blog? And how many readers do you reach so far?

    All best wishes,

    Mary Liepold

    Hi Mary Liepold,
    Thanks for your comments. I started my blog in August of 2007, about five months ago. I have no idea how many people read it, but I like being able to accumulate personal thoughts related to my work, and observe for myself where I have been online and in spirit. I will post some other ideas about women-to-women connections.
