PATHWAYS INTERVIEW
My only hope is to get people to actually take the day in private, with family and/or friends, and pray for peace in the world. Do some - thing kind for someone for no other reason than being kind. Express gratitude for what you are capable of, and believe in the idea that like minds can make a difference. We want to change the vibration in the world. We truly need good vibrations. I just want people to go to the web page and on social media and ac - knowledge that they are part of the Fast Pray Meditate move- ment to make the world a better place. They can find information at www.fastpraymeditate.org, or look us up on Instagram (@fastpray - meditate) or Twitter (@fastpray062122).

Why include a fasting element? Fasting is an opportunity to focus all your divine energy to a cause, similar to the idea of fasting in a religious context. Has the Fasting for Peace Day taken place every year since? No. My life happened. I got married, started a Wellness company and we had a child. Does this year’s event have a special sense of urgency or importance? If so, why? This year definitely has a special urgency. We have the threat of a nuclear war, we have mass shootings taking place, we have a pan- demic still ravaging us that has become politically charged. We have racism and hate against people of diverse backgrounds and thoughts, and not just in our country but across the world. People are being negatively impacted by everything going on in the world, and many feel powerless and hopeless about the future. We also have children who need hope and strength to help build a world that is safe for everyone. My idea is to bring our awareness back to ourselves, and take the initiative and dare to be a part of the move- ment for peace. There is power in prayer and our collective wisdom that this is our world, and we have the power of the divine on our side. What are the details around this year’s event? How can individuals participate and where can they find more information?
