Christchurch definitely not forgotten.

Friends around the world...

I ask you to keep Christchurch on your minds.

The media, for the most part had forgotten about Christchurch - until this afternoon when a series of large aftershocks hit and caused more damage, fear and concern after the major earthquake in February, preceding to the one in September (confusing I know - there's just so many!).

But to my friends and family in Christchurch, know that I have not forgotten, New Zealanders here and around the world have not forgotten and the deepest prayers, love and strength will continue to go out to you each and every day.

I have friends who still, 4 months later, do not have running water, bathrooms and full power facilities. Porta-loos or 'pottys' still hang out on every corner and the neighbourhood share much more than the street they live on. I will be there in two weeks time sharing the neighbourly love also.

Here's a picture to show the scale of what is going on thanks to a friend...


Let's all hope the earth in New Zealand begins to settle.

People

I'm continually amazed at the calibre of people that I have in my life.

My life has always been about people. I love people, love stories, love cultures and love meeting and making connections. It truly blesses me to my core.

I just took another look around in the globe on the inside of my head today and just counted my blessings for the amazing people I have in my life that are just plotted all over our planet, near or far. Each and every person so special to me in such different ways.

Each person taking a vital and active role in my world, to lift me up, encourage me, kick my butt, make me laugh, to love parts of me I thought no one could, to inspire me, to provoke action and thought, to humble me.

I could continue the list forever but just know that I love having you in my life and it wouldn't be the same without you. Yes, you!

Loving lifes adventures right now because they involve you.

So thanks friend, where ever you are.
