Day of Silence

Words seem meaningless in the wake of the unfathomable devastation in Japan.  As we struggle to articulate the heartbreak we're experiencing, we want to join Utterly Engaged and Ever Ours in taking a day of silence to honor those who lost their lives, send strength and love to those who are struggling to make their way through this disaster, and consider ways we can support those who are providing critical services there.  Consequently, we will not be posting tomorrow, Friday, March 18.

If you haven't already, please consider donating.  You can visit For Japan With Love to provide emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies to families affected by the disaster via a contribution to Shelterbox.  In light of Jack's very recent birth, the plight of children in Japan has been weighing especially heavily on my mind.  I'm thankful for the work of UNICEF, whose efforts are focused on supporting and protecting children who are particularly vulnerable in an emergency. 

Our hearts are with everyone in Japan.
