With dear friends who live there and living in a city capable of experiencing something similar myself, my heart and thoughts go out to everyone affected by this terrible event.
Survivors are writing about their experiences and what they're seeing in real time on New York Times.com here.
Donations can be made to Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami relief by texting REDCROSS to 90999 for a $10 donation.
Hug someone you love very close to you this weekend my dears.
Till Monday,
*Mrs. E
