2020 Results: Heaven on Earth is growing globally!
Dear Heaven Maker:
One of my 2020 goals was to witness and encourageHeaven on Earth as a mainstream public conversation.
I want you to feel comfortable talking about it and to experience more and more evidence that it’s actually happening – that Heaven on Earth is a normal part of public conversation and actions all around the world.
I want to share with you three different numbers that show the significant growth of Heaven on Earth in 2020.
A beautiful version of the Lord’s Prayer
Dear Heaven Maker:
Here is a most beautiful version of The Lord’s Prayer translated into modern English by Jon Marc Hammer.
Below each line is the transliteration of the original prayer in phonetic Aramaic.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Please join me in creating 2021 as The Year of Heaven on Earth!
Ending the United Kingdom’s climate emissions is ‘affordable’
The world’s first detailed route map to ending a nation’s use of fossil fuels is both “ambitious and affordable”, according to the United Kingdom’s government’s official advisers, and would see half of the cars on the road being electric by 2030 and 10,000 giant wind turbines in the North Sea.
The Climate Change Committee’s analysis (CCC) found that the future cost savings from no longer having to buy oil and gas almost offsets the £50bn-a-year investment needed in low-carbon power, transport and home heating across the next three decades.
HEAVEN ON EARTH…an idea whose time has come
Dear Heaven Maker:
Patricia Albere is a friend. She’s on the leading edge of advancing consciousness as she explores presencing the experience of ‘We.’
We first met, about 10 years ago, over lunch. I spoke to her about my commitment and work on Heaven on Earth. She knew instantly what I was talking about because of an incident that had happened to her decades earlier when she realized that she was here to help co-create Heaven on Earth.
She’s now going public with her commitment to Heaven on Earth in a free webinar on New Year’s day called HEAVEN ON EARTH…an idea whose time has come

The H2 Clipper….disrupting the fossil fuel transportation economy
Dear Heaven Maker:
Think of a product made in China destined for the US. It’s loaded on a truck and delivered to a railway station. The railway takes it to a port on the coast where it’s put on a ship. The ship then travels to the west coast of the US where the product is unloaded, put on a truck, and then shipped to, let’s say, St. Louis. It takes time, there’s the potential for theft and damage, and the entire procedure uses a LOT of polluting fossil fuel.
Imagine if we could get rid of this highly wasteful, environmentally damaging, slow process, and serve the planet.
Imagine no more!
Homeless Karaoke – The Stars of Skid Row
[Guest Column By Craig Hamilton]
A few years ago a couple of my close friends produced a series of ‘Good News’ YouTube videos. They searched out stories of people doing good things in the world.
One morning I got a call from them letting me know that they were planning on filming an event in downtown Los Angeles – on Skid Row no less. Skid Row has one of the largest stable populations (between 4,000 and 8,000) of homeless people in the United States and has been that way since the 1930s.
My friends had a couple of cameramen scheduled to be there. My friends also told me they would be unable to attend and they gave me the job of helping out that evening. I said yes.
I had never actually been to Skid Row but I assumed the worst. I made sure I had enough gas in my car and enough air in my tires. I arrived a couple of hours early so that there would still be light outside.
The film site was a church in the heart of Skid Row that opened its doors for Karaoke every Wednesday evening to anyone living on the sidewalks.
A pre-arranged “secret knock” gave me entrance to the church, which was closed until the start of the event later that evening.
A Star is Born
Dear Heaven Maker:
I love opera.
I’m always on the lookout for a new singer – a singer with talent, training, skill, and That Extra Special Something that sets them apart. They have the magic!
I remember the first time I heard Luciano Pavarotti sing, before he was widely known. I couldn’t believe such a voice existed….pure, direct, powerful. He definitely had ‘IT.’
A first grandchild is Heaven on Earth…
Dear Heaven Maker:
My cousin Morton lives in Canada.
Morton’s son Max and his partner Kelsey live in Sweden where they just had their first child – a baby boy named Hans Jacob.
Morton desperately wanted to hold and kiss his FIRST grandchild.
He had to use a walker and a wheelchair to get through three different airports in order to make his way from Canada to Sweden.
Here are the Heaven on Earth photos of Hans Jacob by himself, with his grandfather, his father, and his mother.
Heaven on Earth for the Lusaphone?
Dear Heaven Maker:
Susana Carvalho is a teacher in Portugal.
She found out about Project Heaven on Earth and instantly became deeply committed.
She told me about “The Lusaphone,” the collective name for the 270 million people in the Portuguese speaking nations and territories of the world – Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Portugal, and, São Tomé and Príncipe.
