RIP Peace Pioneer Lynne Hazelden

Peace Pioneer Lynne Hazelden

  On Tuesday 3rd December 2013 our dear friend Lynne Hazelden passed away. Lynne spoke on Radical spirit Radio and remained in contact with Helen throughout her illness. Helen offered  an amazing tribute  to Lynne recently on the radio show, stating how although she had only known her a short while, she had touched her life in ways she didnt quite realize and that is what Lynne was like.


As a long time friend and supporter In her memory I wanted to share the story of when I met her. It was In 2009, Lynne contacted me after becoming a member of my group now called Friendship grows where love flows, we had many mutual friends, and she wanted to add my group to her peace page, Peace in our lifetimeI'm a Dreamer AND ~ We're Creating it NOW
and she made me admin there, as I too made her admin of my group,  as well as adding and promoting all similar groups which had the same intentions,  she organized concerts for Peace and had 16 live concert events web-stream into her website. The event incorporated inspirational films and uplifting music from talented international artists, such as Mike Lindup (Level 42), John Young (Asia, Scorpions), Steve Balsamo (Jesus Christ Superstar and The Storys) and will be held in across the world including the UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Hawaii, Amsterdam with events in South Africa and YMCA PEACE Pre-School, Jerusalem. The parties will be streamed live on the internet and in venues in the 3D virtual world ‘Secondlife’. Inspirational ‘peace themed’ school assemblies for children will take place in Jerusalem, Canada, Ecuador, Nairobi and other countries around the world. The next year she joined forces with Peace Day TV and had over 6 Million viewers of Peace Day events.

CONCEPT/ FOUNDATION and Journey to here: http://www.peaceinourlifetime.com/newsletter/introduction_peace_our_lifetime
A GLOBAL UNITED PARTY FOR PEACE – each SEPT 21st
A DECLARATION of A DAY of GRATITUDE & THANKS
Lynne would call me regularly and update me on what was going on, whilst supporting me in my own quest for changes globally and individually.   She and I spent hours on the phone, she would spend hours chatting with my son Nicholas, she always wanted to know what was happening  with my kids and we realized that each of us are given a mission  that could bring changes to different quarters of our world. Lynne was genuine compassionate and cared about all of the events in my life.


 We both agreed that In some ways, the requirement for spiritual development is much greater now than it has been in the past, for the world is larger and its needs are more demanding. The world requires a greater understanding, a greater ability and a more complete approach. Here the emphasis is not on one or two people becoming saints or great practitioners in their traditions. Here the the emphasis is on developing the skills of humanity at large. Here the emphasis is not on heroes and heroines within a spiritual universe. Here the emphasis is on selfless activity within the mundane world just as Lynne showed to us all.  This has always been the case in terms of real spiritual development, but we must make these distinctions because so much has been misunderstood and misconstrued about our spiritual development.


People think that spiritual development is a process of amplifying and granting divine powers to their personal mind. This has never been the case, for the reality is that spiritual development is meant to bring your personal mind back into service to spirit. All the great practitioners have known this, and this has been the real way despite popular and fantastic notions to the contrary.

Our culture is very much involved in hero worship, and so everyone is denigrated except for a few individuals who are endowed with supernatural powers and who are considered godlike. This is a cultural defect in our societies, and it is a defect born of the nature of human development.


 Lynne encouraged everyone to celebrate the Peace that we have in our lives every day. I am so glad that she is no longer going through the struggle of getting better... but I miss her! I miss her as my earth Angel and friend. I have a hole in my heart now that she has passed on.

Lynne was an Peace Pioneer, GoodWill Ambassador, Transformation Facilitator/Coach, Poet, Writer, Actress - Founder Planting Seeds & The KindTo read her Bio check this out: Woman of Action



I Love the tribute that Lynne's friend Olma Edeki  wrote for her:
 "You came into our lives Lynney like a flowing river... You touched our hearts in ways we never imagined..

You freed many of us from a small world of individual pursuit, causing a movement of love, generosity and compassion; a community that came together in sun, rain, sweat, tears and joys to accompany you in your journey which today has become endless..

As my mind struggles to understand that this journey had a different turning; my heart knows that your time is endless and lies beyond the hands of time..

You've freed yourself from the complaints of the body.. You've crossed over to the other shore.. And I'll never forget the light you brought into each one of our hearts.

Thank you Lynney for standing for something bigger than yourself, for being extraordinary , magical and out if this world..

Thank you, all of you, for your support, love and stand for Lynney..
For every penny raised, event created and attended, for every breakthrough, for every fear faced and every conversation had.

Thank you for allowing Lynney to touch your heart.

Rest in Peace my beautiful friend.. Missing you so deeply."


About PEACE in OUR Lifetime
Peace in OUR Lifetime offers a free personalized peace certificate to each person who consciously chooses to Stand in Peace. Their voice is counted in efforts to recognize 1 billions souls standing united in celebration of the Peace that is. We will also supply this certificate to organizations who wish to also offer the certificate, (without coming to our site and no registration or email is required.)
Until we can see the Peace that is being created already, we will not know peace, or feel empowered to create more peace. Together we can restore faith and realize that peace begins with each one of us and ripples out.
We can begin now and give this planet back to the people who are making a difference everyday.
As we shift our experience from one of power and force to one where we see the differences we are making and inspire people to help, work together and bring change to their life locally.
This will restore faith in our ability to create peace.
Peace will be known to exist as the bigger part of who we are.
We will be in action rather than being overwhelmed with the idea.
Peace is possible because we are already creating it every day.. maybe .. we just did not see it!

"We're all unique and see the world differently and yet,
we are ONE VOICE standing together for Peace" 
Having a Peace Certificate shows that a person has made a conscious choice to Stand for PEACE. It is a gift to thank them and a way everyone one can be counted collectively, as one voice for peace. They can put their free Peace Certificate anywhere: Post it as their profile picture. They can print it on a t-shirt, mug or make a poster of it and share it anywhere they choose.

Disability Has Made Me The Empathetic Person I Am Today

 

By Helen Sims (Pictured).
As I sit here the pain is ripping through my body. It is relentless, like waves hitting rocks on a stormy day and I’m writing this off the cuff as it were, purely as a distraction.
I want it to stop. I feel like something evil is gnawing on my muscles and positively relishing it!
Painkillers will take the edge off…for about half an hour.
I guess I should’ve known yesterday that today would be worse. I was aching you see, aching badly, but I still wanted to go for a walk because the sun was out. My husband lovingly calls me ‘the hermit’ and I wanted to prove him wrong.
Every physio I have ever had told me I need exercise, especially since my pulmonary embolism in two thousand and five. I have to stay as active and fit as I can, but it is so hard to stay motivated and keep doing it when you know that it will hurt later, if it doesn’t already.
It drains my energy so quickly. Sometimes I feel like a car running on empty. I have to carry on but there is no fuel left, I have nothing left to give.
On a side note, I often get this feeling about my friendships. Part of my personality is that I am there for everybody, whenever they need me. My husband calls it my ‘saintliness’ but it is just the way I am.
On days like today though, I admit to seeing their trivial little worries as exactly that, and hate myself for it. He often reminds me that very few of them have been there for me. “Isn’t that just the way it is though?” I’ll say and he will roll his eyes. He’s wonderful! He reminds me that I have enough to deal with!
The thing is, my disability has probably made me more empathetic and more in tune with people, so yeah, thanks for that! I’m not saying I am an angel. I can be horribly moody and sometimes very depressed. That is just life. Everybody gets depressed and everybody has tough times, but it is how you get through it that matters.
The pain is no better and despite having enjoyed talking to you, (please forgive my disjointed ramblings) I still want to throw something out of sheer frustration! Yes I admit it, there is a bit of self pity mixed in today too, because I did not ask for this, and there is no ‘end’ for me like there is for others with problems. There is no solution.
But, I will not give up, EVER, even though right now part of me wants to. I have an amazing husband and a very strong marriage. I have my family and I have my writing (for what it is worth)!
When I finish typing I will go and curl up in my husband’s arms and I might even finally cry, but I know that all this HAS made me stronger. I hope it continues to do so. What I’m trying to say, is that, even when it doesn’t feel like it, even when it seems like there is just too much pain, you can always find a little strength from somewhere.
Please don’t give up.
