Modern Recording by Jamie Tate



Or as I like to call it - accurate.

I guess in the big picture though, I am just happy people are still listening - lemonade....

Finishing Dr King's work ~ Please forward!




Dear friends and colleagues, I would like to invite you to take part in a once in a life time event - we are working on a special campaign that Martin Luther King Jr. began decades ago. 

If you know me you know I don't ask you for much, and I don't believe in awards, but I do believe in the recognition of hard work  and I would love to be a part of honouring the work of Thich Nhat Hanh and those who strive to find ways to make peace happen in every moment, for every person.

Please read on to find out how you or someone you know can be involved - and thank you!

Peace is the Way Films would like to begin 2013 by helping Martin Luther King, Jr. to fulfill one of his dreams.
We are launching a social media and email campaign to re-nominate Thich Nhat Hanh for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize, 45 years after Dr. King’s assassination in 1968.
As Dr. King stated in his original 1967 Nobel Peace Prize letter, nominating Thich Nhat Hanh, ”I do not personally know of anyone more worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize than this gentle Buddhist monk from Vietnam.”
Help us nominate Thich Nhat Hanh for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.
It is easy for you to help make this dream a reality. At the bottom of this message there is a list of “Qualified Nominators,” meaning people who are qualified to nominate someone for the Nobel Peace Prize.
If you, a friend, colleague or acquaintance fit into any of the below categories, then you are eligible to nominate Thich Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize 2013.
You can also of course as a private person sign the letter and send it to the Nobel Committee.
It is our goal to flood the Nobel Committee with letters from private persons and qualified nominators.
The deadline for all letters to be received by the Nobel Committee is February 3rd, 2013.
Smiles and Gratitude
