Tara Lee and the Peace Tree. Leaves of the Peace Tree. Live Below the Line. Movement to End Poverty. Friday, 18 May 2012. This leaf on the Peace Tree has been written by my lovely mum, Jodi Lee. My mum’s words are a reflection on recent events in our local community and thoughts of being someone else. So I have been spending my free moments imagining I was the lucky winner and mentally spending my millions. As we passed we could see there had obviously been at least one fatality and it was a sobering tho...

Tara Lee and the Peace Tree. Leaves of the Peace Tree. Live Below the Line. Movement to End Poverty. Sunday, 9 September 2012. This week I have been surrounded by wonderful crafts and gorgeous people. I have only recently learnt how to crochet, starting with just basic granny squares, but I adore beanies so early this week I started to play. Playing with wool, playing with colours. Life was good. Then on Friday I was asked to look after a friend’s delightful little shop. Frank and Dolly's. Last night, I ...

Tara Lee and the Peace Tree. Leaves of the Peace Tree. Live Below the Line. Movement to End Poverty. Saturday, 20 July 2013. A basic human right. For the past four years, I have spent my Friday afternoons in the home of a Sudanese family who came seeking asylum from their country. Each Friday, I work with three of their children and last night was no different. Except for an announcement from our government. Australian Human Rights Commission. I do not understand one iota what went through Rudd’s h...

Tara Lee and the Peace Tree. Leaves of the Peace Tree. Live Below the Line. Movement to End Poverty. Sunday, 10 March 2013. Our voices loud and clear. The Oaktree Foundation has shown me time and time again the power of young people. Yesterday began the Roadtrip to End Poverty, an amazing initiative where 1000 young, passionate Australians will be campaigning across our nation. Ebony Brown, 16. One person can speak up, one person has a voice. That's only 70c out of every $100. We have the potential to en...

Tara Lee and the Peace Tree: June 2012

Tara Lee and the Peace Tree. Leaves of the Peace Tree. Live Below the Line. Movement to End Poverty. Saturday, 23 June 2012. We are all individuals. Today you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you! One of the biggest quests in life is the search for self; to find the answer to ‘who am I? Society all around us tells us to be this and that. In high school, the pressures of trying to fit in and be the same as everyone else can be even worse. So my advice to you all is...

Leaves of my family tree. 8220;…without you I would never be me, you are the leaves of my family tree…”. 8216;Sing Together’, Train. There are times when words never seem enough. Things happen that can totally flip your world upside down. Thankfully, love for one another can be expressed in so many more ways. With a hug. A smile. A look.

Tara Lee and the Peace Tree. Leaves of the Peace Tree. Live Below the Line. Movement to End Poverty. Thursday, 2 May 2013. The latest antics of Tara Lee. It has been awhile since I have had a chance to just sit beneath the Peace Tree. I am at an exciting moment in my life where I have received my final results for honours and can begin to embrace the real world outside of my cocoon of study. My role as Geelong Coordinator has had its share of challenges but nothing beats that feeling when you are surroun...
