products for peace from bombs dropped in the secret war on laos
We are well into the New Year, but I’m already ticking off resolutions with my handy peaaceBOMB Resolution Wrap.
First thing off the list: travel more!
My Resolution Wrap came all the way with me to Kenya and back. That’s right - it’s a giraffe you can see in the background.
Second thing off my list: volunteer.
Before jetting off on safari, I spent time working in a school on the edge of Nairobi that I was visiting for the second time.
It’s not too late in the year to begin making headway on your resolutions! My Resolution Wrap served as a fashionable reminder to keep the positive energy from my journey humming all year long.
What will you do with your little string reminder around your wrist?
Today we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release for
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
There have been a number of speculations about the hidden meaning behind the lyrics to this 1971 hit. Some say the “rain” refers to the millions of bombs dropped throughout the Vietnam War; others believe this classic is a metaphor from the shift in ideals from the 1960’s to the 70’s.
While the same problems that were prevalent in the 1960’s remained through the 70’s (and in some ways until today), the American public became less vocal in the fight for change.
But in the end, the lyrics may simply refer to the mounting tension between the Creedence Clearwater Revival band members!
What’s most important is how this tune resonates with you.
peaceBOMB wants to send a big THANK YOU to the Cause and Object blog for their post featuring the Resolution Wrap bracelet! As you know, purchasing one Resolution Wrap bracelet, which comes in four colors, helps us clear ONE METER of bomb-littered land in Laos.
As C&O writes…
“If giving back tops your list of resolutions for 2012, get started with the Resolution Wrap.”
