Setting aside for a moment the people who choose not to heed warnings and still continued with their plans, as I know others expressed exasperation at the thought...


As we watch the drama of Hurricane Dean unfold and hammer Jamaica and the Caribbean, I propose we all take a moment to say a prayer, think positve thoughts, or send good juju vibes--whatever your preference may be--to the residents and people who are in the eye of the storm on this beautiful island.

The devastation Mother Nature can cause to life and property is humbling. Not to mention how devestating the long term economic impact can be to a country, particularly one as impoverished as Jamaica.

My thoughts and good wishes are with residents and nations of the Caribbean islands. I hope others will take a moment and send them some good vibes.
