Prince Edward Island (PEI) is Canada’s smallest province. It holds a very special place in the psyche of Canada’s Soul – it’s the birthplace, in 1864, of the country.
About 10 years ago I was leading a Heaven on Earth workshop on PEI when a thought popped into my head, “Prince Edward Island is Canada’s first Heaven on Earth province.” I loved that and said it out loud as a declaration.
Over the years that declaration has grown and there is a constantly growing number of Heaven on Earth projects by different people and groups on the Island.
Several weeks ago I was at the weekly farmer’s market and met Brad Trivers. Brad is one of two people running for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of PEI. A mutual friend introduced us and I asked Brad if I could ask him about Heaven on Earth for the province. He immediately said “Yes” and here’s a video of his answers, unrehearsed.
I thought his answers were so beautiful, heart-felt, clear and meaningful.
Why This is Important: Here is a major political figure answering the question, “What is Heaven on Earth?” It is a question worth answering. He thinks about it, gets in touch with his heart and Soul, and gives a very moving response.
Action Step You Can Take: Ask a politician what Heaven on Earth is for the area they represent.
Let’s get Heaven on Earth into normal public conversation. Let’s have the question, “What are you doing to help co-create Heaven on Earth?” be as normal as “What are you having for dinner?”
Please share this with one or two people you think may be interested.
