I Stand For Peace

It is terrible times for the people of the Ukraine...It just breaks my heart to see the destruction & persecution of the Ukraine & their people...Feeling powerless to help somehow...I see that others here feel the same way & have posted their beautiful!!! layouts & tributes to the Ukraine!...of support & love...I too am here to post my "Stand" for peace dedicated to the Ukraine & all their people...I just love! the strong blue & yellow colors of the Ukraine!...To me they represent truth,strength & bravery...I have a girl praying intently for the Ukraine...It is certainly a time for praying for peace...now & always...I have a strong distaste for war of all kinds...It only makes a situation worse...& causes so much pain,loss,devastation & destruction...that never ever truly heals...I have included an extraction of a young child protesting in the Ukraine which is courtesy of Matti of Pexels...This photo haunted me & almost moved me to tears...It was powerful to me & I wanted that power to be showcased in my layout...& of course the main theme of my layout is Peace...Imagine Peace?...How could that be?...Praying for peace...Peace should just be an everyday thing...I know I am lucky to live in a place of peace & love...& I only hope these things for the Ukraine & the Ukraine people too...So my large neon peace sign should illustrate my feelings there...& lastly...The red wings...Why red wings? & not blue or yellow?...All could illustrate the theme wonderfully...but I felt that the situation has escalated...& I felt those red wings illustrate that better...They illustrate flight & freedom...but not only that...the red represents loss of love,life, tragedy & blood loss...The layout is very bold & makes a strong statement...& I know it will not be everyone's taste...I understand this very well...but for me,it was important to create this tribute to a heart wrenching situation...A strong dedication to a strong country...[Ukraine] & their strong people...I STAND With UKRAINE...

@Betty Jo Oh! Thank You! very much! Betty Jo!...The page is a bit bolder than some other beautiful! ones here in the gallery!...Thank You! for your very nice comments!...I appreciate!...It's a difficult subject to talk about...I am so tired of wars!...The war in Afghanistan dragged on for years & technically it is still going on...I wonder if they will ever find peace?...Being a scrapper for some years now...I know plenty of gals over in other countries...& some have to put up with such daily unimaginable hardships & some are now currently on the move...[as we speak...]...My biggest wish is for peace for everyone!...It seems like a monumental task considering there is so much violence in the world & so many who want to promote it...Creating this layout helped me to get some of my feelings off my chest...I'm not a political person at all & I don't talk about it that much...but it is something that I strongly believe in...Peace! for all of us...Everyone...Everywhere...Hence the strongly : I Imagine Peace for the Ukraine & for everyone!!!...It shouldn't be a dream...It should just be!...Hearts Rhonda...

Oh, Rhonda, I hear your heart. And, I feel the same. I will continue to pray for peace too. Scrapping is such a good outlet for our feelings. (((Big Hugs))) ♥

Wonderful tribute! It is hard to believe that war like this, invasions like we saw in world war II, are happening in a modern era. I'm glad the Ukranians are resisting, and like many, feel so sorry for the people, the refugees, and all those whose lives are disrupted. Great color! Thanks for sharing this!

@dwsewbiz Thank You!...I feel exactly the same way...It boggles my mind how in this day & age such a dictator can get away with all this carnage & suffering...I never thought it could happen like this again...my hearts breaks for all of them...I can't watch the news anymore...It just angers & scares me at the same time...The right people need to step up! & stop! this war now!!!...:(:mad::(...
