Peace of Mind

Editor: Patricia Obletz

Webmaster: Tyler Schuster

Dear Readers,

Established in February 2009, Peace of Mind came to be because the founders of MilwaukeeRenaissance.com offered space on their site. I asked after the publication, which I established on a grant from New York State, 1992–2009, was zeroed out.

‘’Peace of Mind covers uncommon common ground that offers wide-ranging original art, poetry and views of artists, activists and health professionals who open doors to spiritual freedom. The quality of our mental and emotional wealth depends on avenues to peace. Adversity falls upon us all and how we get through it depends upon the bottom line balance of our spritual wealth.

‘’Peace of Mind welcomes your stories of why, how and when you first knew you were an artist; please send jpgs of up to five images of your artwork. We also publish stories of overcoming life-changing obstacles. We want family-friendly pieces up to 3,000 words. “Writing,” author William Zinsser says, “is like defrosting the windshield.”

There can never be too much information that will help people help themselves. Please help others by sharing what helps and hinders your spiritual and emotional balance. Bill Wilson founded Alcohol Anonymous in 1957 based on strangers telling their stories to each other, what worked and didn’t work, growing a bank of self-knowledge and encouraging support. Science and experience also proved long ago the healing properties of self-expression, for the one who expresses, as well as everyone who shares their human spirit.

We retain the right to edit all contributions volunteered for publication. The opinions expressed in “Peace of Mind” are those of the writers and do not necessarily represent “Peae of Mind.”

Thank you.
