I try to steer clear of somber subject matter. But the suffering in Japan is just too heartbreaking not to address. Among the millions of Japanese citizens affected, my sister-in-law, Akiko's family, and my dear yoga friend, Sayaka, were there when the disasters hit.
So tomorrow, I'll be participating in the Bloggers' Day of Silence. There will be no posts on Friday, March 18th, to honor Japan. Lydia of Ever Ours and Lucia of Utterly Engaged have graciously organized For Japan With Love, a fundraiser for earthquake and tsunami relief. All proceeds go to ShelterBox to provide the victims with emergency shelters and lifesaving supplies. Feel free to donate here.
I suppose I'll be taking a 3-day silence, since I don't blog on weekends. Sorry for the void of weekend links! They seemed a bit inappropriate on this post.
Much love to you all and I'll see you again on Monday. xoxo
