ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful sentiment Melanie :'( Can't believe what we've been seeing on the news this week, it's so hard to take in. Heartbreaking stuff. Thanks for the post x
ReplyDeleteThank you Roisin, it just seems to be going from bad to worse. My heart really aches for them, having spent many years there I know they'll be very pragmatic and work together to get themselves through.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't realise you had lived there. I can't deny I'm not the tiniest wee bit jealous; I love so many things about Japanese culture and I've always wanted to go over and learn the language for a few years, just never managed to get round to it yet. Sometimes when I'm stressed out or feeling down I'll just put on NHK World and watch their mini-documentaries or the quirky magazine shows like Digista. Under normal circumstances it always cheers me right up! Though the past week it's been heatbreaking, and scary. There have been a few uplifting and touching stories too though. Like the one about cat island. (Apparently they initially thought it had been totally submerged but it turns out everyone, cats and humans, are all safe and well.)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, sorry for rambling. I had meant to say that I hope any friends or family you have over there are safe and well. Lets hope things start looking brighter for them soon :)
Thank you. I am so glad you did this. I am sure every little bit is helping more than we know. :)
ReplyDeleteRoisin, thank you so much for your comment!! I hope you get there, I'm sure you'd love it, people are so welcoming, the crafts are incredible and the nature is just ah...
ReplyDeleteThank you too for your thoughts, my dearest are safe and well!
Melissa thank you! I'm so thankful to those who have been kind enough to buy the scarves.
so very thoughtful of you...
ReplyDeletei have a loving friend too in Japan, and im so worried about him and his family.
sending thoughts and prayers.
