Hope For Haiti and Help Danita

My posting for the day will be short, since I have some homework to finish.

So I started a diet on February 4th, and have successfully followed it, since then...kind of.

I am not eating super healthy, but am limiting some of my consumption, and not everyday.

Today however, I totally broke it. I ate some chicken salad sandwich cake, some macaroni salad, some chips(not baked), some cake, fruit salad with lots of cool whip, popcorn with butter, and I drank both coke, and a Starbucks Frappuccino.

Sadly, I missed most of the HopeForHaitiNow.org telethon  :(

I was looking forward to it, and to seeing Robert Pattinson speak.

Apparently, his speech was pre-recorded, I saw it online...and he is gorgeous! I love him!

Anyway, Taylor Lautner, Anna Kendrick, Taylor Swift, and Selena Gomez were among the people that were answering the phones.

I arrived home like at 8:30, with only half an hour left of the telethon, and saw Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Bono perform. It was a good song!

So if you haven't already donated, I urge you to do so. This is a very sad time in our world, and I can only imagine how hard it must be for the victims of this horrendous tragedy.

I also came upon this organization called helpdanita.org which is a Christian organization in Haiti that aids children in need. They have just taken in several hundred displaced babies into their camp, and need as much help as they can get, be it monetary, food, clothing, and volunteers. I would really love to go help, but given the circumstances right now, I can't really just get up and leave my home. I still have things to finish in order to be able to take free flight, like graduating...it has been a long time coming, and it's about time I finish that. :)

I must also save money, since you have to pay your way to Haiti, and all of your expenses while there. 

Maybe I'd go in a year or so, once the situation seems a little more stable, and once others decide to come back. I can be part of the third or fourth fleet of people that will go to continue to aid Haitians once the upheaval of the quake has diminished a little.

I am glad that more and more people are stepping up to the plate, and that the world is uniting as one, in order to come to the aid of those who need it most at this time. I think that this is a time to reflect upon our own lives and realize that what really matters is that we have God in our hearts, and have accepted him as our Lord and Savior, and all else should come after.

I am very thankful for my family's safety, and for our well-being, since this life is fleeting, and we never know what could happen.

I will be posting links to the aforementioned websites so that you can donate to the Haitian Relief efforts, if you haven't already.

Have a great weekend!
