Sending Prayers to All Being Affecting by The Tsunami

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those

who are being affected by the

tremendous devastation

and

heartache

of the Tsunami 2011.

We are with you and yours, holding you closely

to our bosom in support, prayer and

great hope today and always.

May The Creator give you what is need to get through

these uncertain times

and

HOPE that will sustain you

in the days, months and years ahead.

Japan, our thoughts are with you this morning as we read that:TAGAJO, Japan –

"The death toll in Japan's earthquake and tsunami will likely exceed 10,000 in one state alone, an official said Sunday, as millions of survivors were left without drinking water, electricity and proper food along the pulverized northeastern coast.

Although the government doubled the number of soldiers deployed in the aid effort to 100,000, it seemed overwhelmed by what's turning out to be a triple disaster: Friday's quake and tsunami damaged two nuclear reactors at a power plant on the coast, and at least one of them appeared to be going through a partial meltdown, raising fears of a radiation leak."

AND

The U.S.A. has already deployed "Disaster Teams"

to the areas affected and infected by the

tragedies that are affected!

That's how the Red/White/and Blue

is.

We are a Nation that

STANDS in times of

crisis.

We Respond in the face of threat

to

those in need.

And this traumatic event is not exception

even

during times of tremendous economic strain,

even

during times

when

our

First Americans living

in South Dakota

and

known to be the poorest population

in the country

and

have nothing

have not ever been attended to by anyone

have the highest suicide rate in the world

highest unemployment rate in the world

and

highest alcoholism rate in the world

and

highest poor housing in the world

Go unnoticed by everyone in the world.

BUT

this Tsunami

is indeed something sudden, unexpected

and

WE NEED TO RESPOND,

IT HAD TO BE QUICKLY

AND

WE ARE AMERICANS

AND

WE ARE GOOD, VERY VERY GOOD

AT

FIRST RESPONSE TEAMS

IT IS WHO AND WHAT WE ARE.

THANK YOU FIRST RESPONDERS

FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW

FOR THOSE WHOSE LIVES ARE SHATTERED AND FRAGILE.

The trauma, the grief and horrors that are being experienced in the areas affected will be intense for a long time.

There will also be

"vicarious trauma" and "secondary traumatic stress",

experienced by those all around the world that sit and watch it on the television hour after hour; along with those who do not know if friends and relatives are alright, if they are safe, if they are alive.

It may be necessary to limit your exposure to the amount of time you spend watching the news or reading about this on. The constant bombardment of exposure to the events and updates may be too much.

You may find you need a respite from it.

YOU remember the impact of watching scenes

of 9/11 being played out on the television

and

how it made you feel?

The "perceived threat" and feelings as though you "could not breathe" and anxiety that came over you after the hours of watching updates and replays of those planes hitting the buildings?

That was "vicarious trauma" being lived by watching the real trauma over and over again.

There becomes a point and time that it affects you deeply; it is then that you would benefit

by limiting or cutting out the exposure

for a while.

Just keeping it real for you.

I cannot imagine what or how the people of Japan

are coping; how relatives here are struggling with the

"not knowing"

issues that must be filling their senses.

Now they must also cope with the idea

of "nuclear" issues as well.

We must also be mindful of the other countries under

"threat",

of

California

of

those in

Hawaii

there is many to surround with heartfelt thoughts

prayers, energy, faith, determination,

and

HOPE

Today.

So, as we step in to this day,

may we step with an attitude of grace

of

HOPE and understanding for what we hard to grasp

or understand.

Together let's put our

Universal Energies together

bundle them in a red cloth of prayer

and

send them to

ALL

THAT ARE IN NEED.

There are so very many who need us,

here and abroad, from humans; to the

four-leggeds, the winged ones, the swimmers, the land critters too, the plants, and

all living things.

We Stand With YOU all.

And so,

as far as the Quake and following Tsunami

and the days, months, years ahead...

I leave you with a quote from

Maya Angelou:

"You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise!"

The fire is burning Brightly, the embers are hot,

with prayers and thoughts to all,

Will you join me and light a candle for those

who are affected by the

Tragedy of the Tsunami

today and tonight?

Thank you first responders for answering the call

and

also Thank you Mr President for responding on our

behalf to those who have been devastated

and

to our service animals

and

Our Military

and

The American Red Cross

and

To all in the Prayer bowl,

we are with you as always, we are a powerful group of Warriors on this page.

I also ask that you hold cuz Angie up as she continues to recover from abdominal surgery and the pain that follows after major surgery.

Once again we need your thoughts, strength and prayers for our warrior out in CO, EE who has been having a difficult time with health, may you be well again soon.

And

 for Martha Deaver whose beloved son died recently, please accept our condolences and remember,

"there is no distance" he is right there, with you always

with each heartbeat.

And

For

The Class of

Dublin High School

in Southwest Virginia

who is grieving on of their fellow class mates

(they celebrated their 50th reunions last year)

This gentleman was loved by all, and recently

died secondary to Cancer

after fighting the battle with dignity and class!

He will be missed by all.
