Peace Sign Jewelry at the Olympics
I’ve been reading posts about Shawn Johnson, the Olympic gold medal winner in the balance beam who has been wearing peace sign jewelry, specifically peace sign earrings, in public lately. Surprisingly, there’s been quite a bit of controversy about those peace sign earrings. Some people actually believe that this sweet and talented young girl is somehow anti-American because she favors the peace sign. This is ridiculous! I believe that it is instead the height of patriotism to love your country enough to want peace for it and the world of which it is a part.
Peace is more than just the absence of war. It is about working together to make this nation the best it can be and about being a good neighbor. I think that people today are ready to take on this dream again, and that it is no coincidence that the peace sign is coming back into fashion. It reminds many of us of a time when the world was younger, life was simpler, and peace seemed possible. And fashion was fun!
I wore my old peace sign necklace to work today. It felt good, like an old friend. If you want to join Shawn and me in showing how you feel, I found these sterling silver earrings that you might like to try. Comfortable ear wires and very reasonably priced – click here to find out more or buy a pair. And smile - that’s peace sign jewelry too!
