disaster in Japan

On Friday morning, I was in a meeting when I saw the news of Japan. The sight and descriptions of the chaos gave me chills. 8 magnitude earthquake. 23 foot waves hit Japan. Fires on oil rigs. Nuclear plants meltdown.

There was news following that Hawaii and California had warnings of massive waves. It never came to mind that something on the otherside of the world would have an impact close to home. My thoughts and heart goes out to all the families during this horrific time.

While following the news coverage I came upon an interview with Petra Nemcova. Petra is a model and has graced the covers of Madame Figaro, Elle, Shape, Cosmopolitan, Flare, Vegas, Glamour, FHM, and Sports Illustrated. She and her fiance were in Thailand when the tsunami in 2004 hit. Her finace was killed and she held on to a palm tree for hours with a broken pelvis. Seeing the Japan earthquake & tsunami horrific memories came back to her. Her heart goes out to those in Japan. If you want to do something to help Japan, you can! She founded a non profit organization called Happy Hearts Fund. The program is to help children in natural disaster areas.
