I received a post card from the Nobel Peace Center that has found its place on the front of my refrigerator. I see it every day and seek inspiration from one of the meaningful quotes of Nobel Prize winners. Each quote speaks to me about the spirit of Clare House. I would like to share this gift with you, hoping that you too will be inspired and experience peace.
