make a difference.



















this photo, among many others, breaks my heart. I can't bear to think if that were my Jaxon laying there in pain.

Since we don't have TV channels, yeah, not even ONE, I've been a little oblivious to what goes on in the world. It's sad, and I don't like it. When I heard about the earthquake in Haiti, I was kind of glad that we don't have TV because I don't do very well with seeing kids injured. It gets to me.

But then I thought, that's not the way I should handle it. Brush it off, like it didn't happen, just because it really bothers me to think about. No, I think we need to be educated and informed of these things, so we can appreciate what we have, and learn ways we can help out.

Well, since I am a big fan of Pioneer Woman, I read her ALL THE TIME. She is so awesome. She made a HUGE donation to Haiti. She inspired me to want to help out. On her site was a link that takes you directly to Red Cross. It was seriously SO EASY to donate.  I don't have a lot to give, but I gave some.

This made me realize  how lucky I am. How lucky we all are. We have nice homes to live in, food to eat.  I am given so much, I want to give back. Even if it's just a little bit. We can all give something. Every little bit helps.

Here is a link to Red Cross:
