Japan, Haiti, Gaddafi, Eman Al-Obeidy, Lebanon, war, famine, fear, pain and inequity - it is all over the world. It's all still happening. As you struggle with your own pain, fear and disappointments, remember at least for this moment that there are millions and millions of us living in horror and desperation.
Please don't forget. But please don't dwell in the sadness. There is power in our emotions. Our job, if we have the strength (and every single one of us should have at least that), is to send love and hope and prayer to all who suffer in the world and to do what we can to end suffering in any way possible. Whatever it may be. Wherever it may be. We are all one and we grow closer every day. We are closer to the Japanese than we were one month ago when the earthquake hit, even if we have forgotten amidst the busyness of our daily lives.
Keep praying. Keep giving. Keep loving.
God please bless and keep this beautiful child of yours safe during this horrible time in her world.
