"I think I better let it go...(let it go baby)"

As you all know, I want noting but to start off year 2010 right. Right thinking, right money, right relationships, so it's natural to expect a few things to go wrong. It creates the balance we know as life. And when one life ends, like life, we must go on. With that said, please take a moment for the two big losses of 2010 so far.
The victims (so far) of the earthquake in Haiti

Though my heart hangs very heavy for Sir Pendergrass, right now I'm more focused on the disaster in Haiti. The earthquake has been compared to Hurricane Katrina, however I can't juxtapose the two. Unlike Katrina, our current president actually cares about the efforts needed to aid Haiti. Also, this is a COUNTRY, not a couple US states. However, just like New Orleans a whole culture is at risk, a rich history is being crushed beneath broken asphalt.

You and I see headlines, news updates, and join Facebook groups relating to "helping the cause." But really, really imagine being a survivor, a victim, or simply being present. This is a natural disaster caused by unnatural forces (what I believe about the weather I will not elaborate on at this time) and it's going to take alot more than a couple internet donations and Twitter updates to heal the wounds of this devastating situation.

Tomorrow I will elaborate on the efforts for Haiti and what you can REALLY do to help. And if you want to compare the earthquake to Hurricane Katrina, here's a good time. Because there are STILL thousands of families dislocated and homeless due to lack of funding, attention, and aid.

But when's the LAST time you REALLY thought about Hurricane Katrina? I mean REALLY? Been a while huh? Let's not let our Haitian brothers and sistas be left in the same abandonment. There are OUR PEOPLE. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, even BRAZIL is sending aid. the more we pull together, the more we can see the light within ourselves.
I have many friends of Haitian descent and who live in the country as we speak. Please pray and send good spirits to those in need. Do what you can, and trust it's more than giving money.
MAD LOVE AND PEACE
