This week Neil at Citizen of the Month organized Bloggers Across America, a homegrown attempt to heal America's wounds and unite a nation divided by politics, sex, race, and American Idol.  Bloggers of all types stepped forward to claim their States and create a virtual chain across the Internet. They didn't, however, have to sing Kumbaya, they just had to touch their monitors in unison.

My vision is even bigger. As an American living in Belgium, I'm caught between two continents, two cultures, multiple languages, and no agreement as to whether egg belongs on pizza. So in the interest of shamelessly stealing Neil's concept advancing the cause of cultural understanding,  I'm launching Bloggers Across the Globe. To participate, all you have to do is announce your presence and pizza preference on V-Grrrl in the Middle and join our diverse community of pizza and peace lovers.

 In the comments section, please tell us who you are, where you're from, and  your favorite pizza combo.  Please note, everyone is welcome here regardless of whether they crack raw eggs on top of  piping hot pizzas and call it edible.  Our motto is Give Peace-a Chance.

Finally, in the spirit of promoting lots of blog comments world peace together,  participants are asked to gather with friends on  Saturday night, order a pizza, and raise a glass and a pizza slice to the vast circle of V-Grrrl in the Middle  readers around the world,  sharing their piece of the global pie and changing the world one topping at a time.
