I love George Clooney and Nick Clooney for representing the best of our American spirit, vigilance, and compassion. People are superior, complex beings. I believe our immortal souls are all linked together.

It's amazing how people really come together and the core emotion that intertwines us all together, love, is at the center. I applaud George Clooney , etc. for using his/their power to create significant change and impact in the world. This awareness is so key. It will take many people to a new awareness in their life. When they see and feel what is going on in Haiti. Anyone can be crushed in a minute. Vanished. Gone. That in itself is a spiritual moment, realizing that. We have a purpose and part of our purpose as humans beings gifted with life, must be to use our gifts to serve God(Mother -Father- Universe – Source, etc) and bless others. We can affect healing in our own way. I am setting up an energy healing vortex of gemstones,a copper pyramid, and sacred geometric healing forms, while visualizing healing light, sending healing Reiki energy, calling on the archangels, ascended masters and beings of light to bring hope, courage, faith and a desire to continue through the pain, trauma, stress, frustration, fear, anguish,anxiety. Keeping our thoughts positive and encouraging to the Haitians will be so important. A world crisis situation like this, has us shaking up our foundations. Thinking about our priorities and getting in touch with our heart. Our thoughts do create our reality. We as the United States can and are leading the world in Humanitarian efforts. That's a miracle and so amazing to me. Thank you everyone. It's about Unity and oneness. To be part of this awakening in the world is transformative. This could be the chance of a lifetime for the Haitian's in rebuilding their country.

Please invite Alicia Keys if she is available to come. Alicia spearheads Keep A Child Alive and is already involved with help in Haiti.

They need to drop Wyclef Jean's charity as a one of the charities benefiting. Everyone I've talk to….. won't donate if it's involved because of all the latest controversy of the questionable way the money is handled.

Enough Is Enough.
Ok, the United States has raised over 528 Million (Headline) “Help Haiti Exceed $528-Million, Chronicle Tally in Philly. “ Now we did more than any other country and it’s time to collaborate right in the United States and help clean up our own backyard.
There is a Reverend, named Trey Noran in the Denver area that has a desire to open two homeless hotels, his web site Hislovestreetministries.com I read and heard of this man from face book and just last evening on WCAN Radio. My suggestion is that George Clooney followers and other Stars assist Reverend Noran right here in this country.
