I've added a few links to my blog

I've decided to add some useful links for people who would like to help Haiti or other countries by volunteering or finding jobs within Organizations that help all over the world.  Some of these links are for worlwide searches of organizations.

I've also started adding links for shelters in Haiti, since many people don't know where to look or find the best deals. Ahomeinhaiti is a current short term solution and they've made arrangements with Coleman for discounts and Wyclef Jean to distribute them.

I've also added some Canadian Ressources below for Canadian Haitians who might need help to help Haiti.

I'm hoping that others will send me links that they have found in order to have them all in one place.  I'm on Twitter so you can DM them to me @forjo1 is my name.

A few pounds to lose for summer

I just remembered a diet I used years ago; I lost 5-10 pounds in about a week. It was a star diet and I was much younger and I worked hard physically, but I think I can still use it. 

I started today, breakfeast 1 whole grain toast and one egg white cooked in a low cal. spray, then ketchup instead of butter or margarine on the toast for flavoring and moisture, put egg on the toast and enjoy it very slowly lol. 

For lunch we have a steamed vegetables with a steamed piece of fish or canned fish. 

For dinner, a plate of steamed vegetables only.
Lots of water all day long and for snacks a piece of fruit only such as an apple or orange or half of a banana. 

This is not a long term diet, you only do it for a week to fit into those jeans, or that bikini (not for me thank you). It's a good kick start to eating low carb too.

The day the earth shook

The day the earth shook



I feared with you, I cried with you,

I saw your pain; I felt your pain,

And I grieved with you.

I waited with you, for help to arrive



I tried to console you, as best I could

But in vain, I couldn’t take away your pain

I rejoiced at the successes

And I was saddened by the failures.



I cried when it rained,

And laughed when you gained

And all the while

I couldn’t help but feel your pain.



I felt your strength, though shattered lives

But I kept the faith that help would arrive

To restore your lives, and bring you some light

Haiti the pearl will be…alive again.



Know that those of us who shared it with you,

Will always remember the day the earth shook.

January 12th 2010 will always be there,

Engraved in our minds as the day all were shaken.
