haiti part five - heart for haiti

yesterday i found myself wondering about haiti.  wondering about cholera.  wondering about the elections.  i was feeling overwhelmed by the complexities in haiti.  and balancing that with the non-complexities of my life.  trying to figure out why clean water had to be such an issue while my baby had swimming lessons in a huge pool of dispensable water.  wondering just how much food we would waste at lunch while others had none.  thinking about the miles i put on my car running back and forth, and knowing that someone's life would be saved if they just had transportation to get to the hospital.  let's just say my heart was heavy.

as i rolled into town, i stopped to talk to some friends.  and lucky day...my sweet neighbor had a gift for me.  this amazing necklace.


it was just the thing i needed to get my head and my heart back "in" haiti.  to stop asking the whys.  to stop looking for answers and just be faithful that there is a time and a reason for everything.  i am so thankful for all the support i get.  and thankful that it shows up at the most unexpected times.  just when it's needed most.  please check out my neighbor's etsy shop.  junk posse.  she helps out so many amazing organizations with the proceeds from her sales.  thank you so much tracy!  xoxo
