Peace Lady finds new ways to share her Message.

                One Million Peace Hearts

One Million Peace Hearts Project

​

 Peace and Love in Challenging Times

The lady in the flowing dress jumps and dances on the side of the road during morning rush hour, holding her sign and waving at everyone — waving even if they don’t wave back.

​

But most do.

​

A city bus passes and the driver pumps his arm enthusiastically like a kid playing “choo-choo train.”

​

Downtown office workers in muted aloha shirts give short little waves with one hand while conscientiously keeping the other on the steering wheel.

​

Parents roll down back seat windows so that small children can wave, fingers wide and smiles beaming.

HONOLULU  those driving to town from Windward Oahu have seen her every day for the past year or so. The woman who shares painted messages of positivity along the Pali Highway. Meet Tamara Barria Montana. She's shown up at the look-out near Wylie Street every morning. All for what she calls her "Peace Project." 

She first started her routine about a year ago along Kalanianaole Highway. Now, she's on a grassy strip at the lookout dancing and waving to town-bound traffic.

"For too many people they need to see something positive, and I think when they see something positive, they really connect with what is true. They connect with the heart, and that is the point of the project," Barria Montana said.
