~ No Words Wednesday ~

Macaroons Every time I announce a new thing I'm doing here at the blog it usually lasts about two weeks before i either forget or abandon it, so I'm not going to do anything foolish like that. No way, Jose. But let me just say that I have no words today, and that it is also a Wednesday is pure serendipitous kismet. If i have no words next Wednesday I may utilise the same headline. Or maybe not. Feel free to not leave a comment – just a smiley face. I'll go first…

Cottage Eight women, three days, one cottage. We really did have the bestest time, filled with laughter, music, reiki, home-cooked meals, tarot cards, honesty and a roaring fire. The girls even got to meet my sister on Saturday afternoon… Thank you Emma, Jo, Leonie (chef extraordinaire), Lisa, Megg, Penny and Sas (who made it all happen). You all truly rock my world.

Dogear_window I spent last weekend with a sister-soulmate of mine; we share the same birthday and it’s always intrigued me to see the similarities – and differences – between us. This coming weekend I will be gathering with seven more women in a cottage in snowy Gloucestershire. And I was going to write a short post about friendship and how great it is, but all i want to do today is share links to ways we can help the souls in Haiti who need our friendship so much more…

In the UK:
The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), a coalition of 13 relief agencies, is taking donations on a special phone line, 0370 60 60 900, and through its website.  You can also donate money via Action Aid.

In the USA:
There are six ways you can help Haiti listed in this blog post; texting your donation to the Red Cross is probably the quickest, though this only works in the US. Also: The Huffington Post explains how you can help.

I’m sure there are lots more ways we can donate, so if you know of more (especially in Europe) please do leave the info and links in the comments. x

Goddess_door I have the January blues. And PMS. And i'm feeling under the weather. And I'm tired. And did i mention the blues? It's a bundle of laughs around these parts.

How are you?
