🌍✨ Peace and Love — A Call from the Heart of a Beatles Kid ✨🌍
I was born in 1962 — right into the heart of a revolution. Not the kind with flags and armies, but the kind that moves through music, laughter, long hair, and dreams of a better world.
My older sibling — twelve years ahead of me — loved the Beatles. I mean, who didn’t? They were lucky enough to see them live at the Vancouver Coliseum. Can you imagine? That energy, those screams, that magic. It left a mark on my childhood in the best possible way.
When I was about four or five, we all piled into a big ol’ Volkswagen Bug and drove to a drive-in theatre to watch HELP! Yes, the actual movie. It was wild, colourful, funny, and full of songs that would become the soundtrack of my life.
I grew up singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "Love Me Do", and so many more. We said things like peace and love like it was just how people were supposed to be. And even as the Beatles evolved — got more political, more philosophical — I felt like I was evolving with them. Their music helped me question, grow, and even revolt when the world didn’t feel right.
And oh, Ringo. I had the biggest crush. He was the underdog — quirky, lovable, and sweet. In Help! they wanted to chop off his hand just because of the ring! 😬 But even then, he was so calm and adorable. I was hooked.
From "Revolution" to "Power to the People", from John to Paul to George and Ringo — the Beatles imprinted something deep in my soul: a belief that peace, love, and music really can change the world.
So here’s my ask — simple, small, but powerful.
Today, at noon — wherever you are — say “Peace and Love.”
Out loud. Whispered. Shouted. Sung. It doesn’t matter.
Different time zones? Doesn’t matter. Every hour, somewhere on this Earth, it will be noon. And every time someone says “Peace and Love,” we send a wave of light around the globe.
Please do it.
Do it now if you think you’ll forget.
It’s not silly.
It’s love.
Don’t blow it off. This is our world, and we can fill it with something better than fear, anger, or apathy.
🌸✌️💛
I send you peace and love.
