Faith and Prayers for Japan

Well, going through my blog stats last night, I have discovered that I have some readers from Japan and other Asian countries. It is odd for me to think that someone on the other side of the world is listening to me, and I wanted to take this time to try to offer a little comfort for those of you affected by the recent tsunami and earthquake.
I had hesitated to write on this topic, as I don't know anyone personally who is there.
However, I would like everyone to know that I, along with everyone else, is truly concerned for all those who live or have family in Japan. You and your families are in our prayers and thoughts.

For anyone who can help, please visit World Vision to donate.

Relevant 2011!

I am so excited! I am going to Relevant! I really think that this will impact me in my walk, and I can't wait to hear all of the lovely ladies speaking! Being on a tight budget, I am hoping and praying for sponsors to help with my costs.
I am also trying to offset the admission and hotel costs with my Etsy shop. I am having a sale starting tomorrow, thru the 19th. Use coupon code WBDAY for 15% off. And remember, I donate 40-50% of all proceeds to charity. This month is Gospel for Asia, see my Green Handcrafts store blog for more information.

Up soon: an update of my Spring and Summer seasonal menu planning, and two new series: Spring Cleaning and a Spring 'Greening' series!

P.S. I also would really like to share a room with someone else to defray costs, so if anyone reading is going and would be willing to share a room, just leave a comment or email me! Bonus if you're also a Real Foodie, 'cause I'll be bringing lots of sourdough bread and pastured butter and we could share!
