Just Do it!
I remember in 1994 when the Northridge quake pretty much trashed Chatsworth, California. I remember the sense of helplessness. I remember being homeless. I remember feeling powerless. I remember the sense of Great Pain and Loss, and I have never forgotten it.

We can all help in this case. The pictures of what happened in New Orleans and Alabama are heartbreaking. There are thousands of people, tens of thousands of people that are homeless, without food, clean water and the basic necessities.

Many of them are also out of work, their very lives turned upside down by this tragedy.

I remember something my mother used to say often when I was a child and she witnessed some particular tragedy... "There by the Grace of God, goes I." And it is true. Any of us, at any time can have our world turned upside down by a similar tragedy, and we are powerless to prevent it.

We all need to think about that for a bit, and regardless of our personal circumstances, do whatever we can to help our fellow Americans. Do what you can... Just do it!
