I had a comical "This is Erika during a mad three weeks of extreme sewing" post ready to go. It will be posted later. For now, take a moment to thank the first responders and the strangers who ran towards the explosions in Boston instead of away from them. Pray for the people who are struggling to heal from physical and mental wounds. Pray for those who will be lumped into categories based merely on how they dress or to whom they pray.

And take a moment to readjust your way of thinking. Be smart. Be aware. Be cautious.


And take a moment to remember that race, religion, and politics mean nothing because we are all humans.

And take a moment to tell people you love them.
