As many of you know, a earthquake shattered through Chile early on February 27th leaving the entire country in a state of shock. The rest of the world was still reeling from the recent earthquake in Haiti and trying to help this struggling country pick up the pieces.  When catastrophic events occur so close together it could be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Its times like these when positive thoughts seem to be hard to come by. For those Chilean people who are fighting for survival and searching for family members they need to be held up with the belief that in the end it will all be ok.  These thoughts, even if they are from people on the other side of the globe, can truly be a saving grace.

In addition, any tragedy whether it be big or small, can be a catalyst in bringing people together.  I truly believe that every breakdown leads to a breakthrough.  Anyone that has seen the campaign of support for Haiti has surely felt this idea in action and was no doubt moved by the massive amounts of support this country received.   If you have the means to help alleviate some of the financial burden felt by Chile and/or you simply want to hold those in need in your thoughts and prayers you’ll be making a difference.

My heart goes out to those that suffered through this horrific event and I hope each of them receives the help they so desperately need.  I too will be keeping them in my thoughts.
