The images are heartbreaking. The need almost unbearable. The overwhelming sense of loss make you want to close your eyes, change the channel, or walk away...
And then - you hear a story of a child pulled from the rubble after 8 days or a grandmother found singing - their HOPE is astounding, inspiring and humbling.
Our eyes well up and that lump in your throat invokes a need to connect, to give, to DO something.
For now, we can pray. We can give - even if it's just a dollar today. And we can remember - choosing not to shut out the pain but to embrace it with the children and people of Haiti together.
"kenbe fem, Haiti" (hold/stand firm Haiti) - We are with you.

Before you can get what you want, you first have to KNOW what you want. As a believer in the power of the spoken and written word, my goal here is to encourage everyone to think about your dreams, write them down, and then believe in their reality.
