It is difficult to watch the news and feel so powerless, especially as we sit cozy in our homes. It is incredibly difficult to see all of the debris from the Haitian earthquake; the debris that covers those that are still living, and know that if they only had more money and more equipment those people would have a greater chance of survival.

It’s easy to freeze when we see such tragedy. To feel overwhelmed. So far away, what can we really do? I turned to this blogger who offers six easy things you can do to help Haiti. (I did #1). His suggestions include the important and immediate need of money as well as the point that we need to learn more about Haiti”its people and its problems.

I also send my love and prayers to my friend Molly who is in Haiti now. I know she is safe, but I know her heart breaks for the friends she has lost.
