Dear readers,
I’ve occasionally visited a food blog called The Ivory Hut. This is Erika’s blog. An unfortunate thing happened to Erika and her family on Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Her home burned down to the ground.
I read this on Erika’s twitter stream:
“Our house burned down last night. Barely made it out alive. Homeless, possession-less. But we're all safe & together. Still richly blessed. 7:05 AM Sep 1st”
I’ve never met Erika. But, that won’t deter me from doing the right thing to help a fellow blogger….or ‘sweet sister’ as I’ve seen it put.
You are welcomed and encouraged to help Erika in her time of need. ANY donation AMOUNT will help. As a collective force, we can all help Erika rebuild.
The lovely thing is…Erika feels blessed. Blessed that her family is alive and safe. It’s true …things can be replaced, but family cannot. She is spiritually in the right place.
If you cannot donate at this time, please send Erika and her family a silent blessing. But remember…ANY donation amount is appreciated!
There is a website called ‘Friends of The Ivory Hut’ which is dedicated to helping Erika and her family.

Added Sep 1, 2010
Last night, my head was preoccupied with last minute work on a special project and putting the finishing touches on a post. My husband Tom and I had also been discussing the logistics of possibly attending BlogHer Food 2010 in San Francisco. These were the things that weighed on my mind.
A mere hour or so later—and instant, really—we were outside, in our shirts and shorts, watching our house crumble as it was engulfed in flames. I’ll never forget that hissing and crackling noise as my husband’s home of almost 30 years practically disintegrated before our eyes.
But we were safe. All of us. Our son Tim, without hesitation, ran back inside when he realized his grandmother was sleeping upstairs. By the time he got to her, it was too late to try and exit the house the same way he came in. Fortunately, Tom had devised a fire escape plan years ago, and Tim was able to bodily carry his feeble 82-year-old grandmother out the window, onto the roof, and eventually down on the deck. The sight of this brave son of mine carrying his grandmother as he ran down the lawn and away from the house is one I will never forget.
Obviously, none of us slept last night. We are fortunate to belong to a congregation that is as close to us as family, and one of our dear friends drove to our house last night to pick us up and take us to her home, which is where I sit right now, typing this.
The magnitude of the loss is almost too much to comprehend in its entirety. So last night, I mentally walked through all the rooms in the house, taking stock of what was valuable in that room, and then systematically making peace with the loss. I said goodbye to my new MacBook Pro, my 500GB drive of photographs, another 500GB drive of music files. My purse, with all my identification cards, and all the car keys—car keys that are useless anyway, since the flames have likely taken our cars too. Our passports and birth certificates. My husband’s prosthetic leg, without which he is unable to freely move around. Our shoes, all our clothes, and our musical equipment. My engagement ring and my wedding ring, and a gold bracelet passed on to me by my mother on my wedding day.
My baby pictures, which are the only remaining proof that once upon a time, I was actually cute. My iPod Touch, the value of which is immeasurable because it held all my half-finished songs, poems, and writings.
But when I weigh it all against the value of being able to hold my husband’s hand and my son’s hand last night as we said a family prayer of thanks for our survival, as well as a petition for strength to deal with the days to come, and the fact that this morning, I woke up to a day with both of them still with me, then I still think I got the better end of the deal.
Oh, and I’m sorry there are no photos in this post. You see, my beloved Canon 5D and all those lenses I had? They’re gone too.
Which stings, I’ll admit. But all I have to do is throw a glance my family’s way and yep, I’m still blessed.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I pray for Erika and her family as they try to rebuild their lives…
Peace & Love,
Carmen

Alert Ambulance Services, a leading medical transportation provider in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, in partnership with Meridian Health, showed their combined commitment to the safety of our community residents with a priceless gift to the American Red Cross' Jersey Coast Chapter. Alert Ambulance Services President Robert Davis and IT Director Jack Trovato presented the keys of three newly restored ambulances to the Regional Red Cross CEO Tara Kelly and Chief Disaster and Logistics Officer Leo Pratte along with the support of Red Cross Board Member and Development Chair Steven Crawford, M.D. “These ambulances had most recently been used by Meridian for transportation of patient from Helicopter Pads to the ER at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, and now they will continue to serve our area for a long time.” says Tara Kelly, Regional Red Cross CEO. This generous donation on behalf of Alert will ensure that the Jersey Coast's Regional Chapter of the American Red Cross can continue their important disaster response efforts in Monmouth and Ocean Counties and help mass quantities of people in need. Individuals affected by disasters, natural or otherwise, count on the Red Cross Disaster Action Team and our specially trained Emergency Response Workers to provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance every day. These specially equipped Emergency Response Vehicles (ERV's) make this work possible. In the past twelve months, the Disaster Relief workers from the Jersey Coast Chapter have responded to 104 local emergencies in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, providing critical care and comfort to 1142 adults and children.” Leo Pratte, Chief Disaster and Logistics Officer is pleased by the generous donation, saying "These three fully-equipped ambulances will now find a second life as a transformed American Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicles, ensuring that we have the transportation and Mobile Feeding Units necessary to do our job."
"Nine thousand people in the UK alone need an organ transplant but unfortunately only 3,000 people a year receive one. One thousand people die waiting every year."
Today I did a shoot on organ donation for my new project based on 'Issues of Concern'. I tried to go at the project from a different point of view from everyone else who has chosen the same question, so I have chosen to look at more social issues than personal issues.
Organ donation come to mind because of the way that many people are not willing to give up their organs for others, yet there are also many people abusing their own bodies with things such as alcohol, smoking and drugs, which seems pretty selfish to me.
BIG THANKS TO ROB, MY LOVELY COUSIN!

The true spirits of Christmas is to give :D
While I do enjoy shopping, I also try to control my spending and give as much as possible.
Around Christmas, I always listen to Do They Know It's Christmas? from Band Aid 1984 to remind myself to think of the many much less fortunate than myself.
By donating, I get a tax receipt which reduces my taxes, so it's a bit of a selfish act, I must confess.
