For nearly three years the column has brought peaceful wisdom and insights to readers. The column is published in the Saturday edition on the Back Page.  All residents of the Rogue Valley are invited to submit articles on inner peace: where do we find it, what particular path worked and how has it been helpful. All aspects of inner peace: intuition; guidance; courage; fearlessness; forgiveness; giving and receiving; joy; tolerance; acts of kindness; gratitude; life’s challenges of grief, pain, addictions and more, are welcome. In sharing our stories, lives are touched in ways seen and unseen, and community spirit, energy and growth is enhanced when we reflect on living and practicing inner peace. Send articles of 600 to 700 words to Sally McKirgan innerpeace@q.com   To see all articles on inner peace: www.dailytidings.com Search on inner peace.

Here’s how it works:  1)  Each week you buy JUST ONE extra non-perishable food item when you go shopping. 2)  Store it in the green AFP bag you will be given.  3)  On the 2nd Saturday of every other month, a neighbor will pick up the bag and take it to the Food Bank. Very simple. Very easy.  Very effective.

If you’d like to participate, go towww.ashlandfoodproject.com or call (541) 488.6976 to learn how.
