Day of Silence for Japan

The devastation that hit Japan just a week ago has been heavy on my mind. When we lived in Panama one of my best friends, Yumeka Sato, was from Japan and my father just returned from the country. As the number of people that have lost everything and those unaccounted for continues to grow I continue to pray the country and its' people. I pray that they will be able to recover and come back stronger than ever and I pray for peace. In honor of the Satos (whom we still have yet to hear from) and all the people of Japan tomorrow, Friday, March 18th, 2011 I will be participating in the Blogger's Day of Silence.

What is Bloggers' Day of Silence and how can you participate you ask?

Anyone that has a blog can help out with this one.
The aim is just raise awareness and respect and acknowledge the devastation going on in Japan.
The guidelines are simple.
1. This coming Friday, March 18th, no posts at all on your blog.
2. Please post a blog post about what you will be doing this Friday whenever possible in hopes to spread the word and whoever else would like to join in.
3. Tweet and Re-Tweet the link to http://forjapanwithlove.com/ please.
4. Encourage your readers to contribute to donate shelter to Japan.
Whatever anyone can contribute will be appreciated.

Please join me this Friday March 18th in the
Bloggers Day of Silence.
My blog will be silent, which means no posts will be featured to honor and respect that has happened in Japan.
My prayers and thoughts are with all those impacted by this natural disaster.
