"A Lot of Little, Makes a Lot of Lots"

The devastating earthquake and images from Haiti has affected people in different ways. I spent the first week glued to the TV, feeling so much hurt for the people and children. I want to give every penny I have, adopt a child, start an orphanage...ANYTHING to help.

But that is not a reality for me. Many of the reporters have left but the need and recovery effort goes on. I listened to much of the Hope for Haiti Now fundraiser on TV last week. It was a wonderful way to bring the world together for a common cause to help people in need. The performances were reverent and heartfelt, inspiring the millions of people watching to do what they could to help.

We all know the tough economic situation here at home and we're not all able to give a million dollars to the cause. Some of us can only give a little. But as Stevie Wonder said to a donor on Friday's broadcast:

"A lot of little, makes a lot of lots."

It is that simple.

We could all give up a lunch or dinner out or doing without some luxury in exchange for a donation to the many charity efforts in Haiti. If you're looking for somewhere to start, I highly recommend purchasing the Hope for Haiti Now album on iTunes for $7.99. You can't beat 20 great songs by popular artists for $7.99! Jennifer Hudson's version of Let It Be gives me chills.

In keeping with Stevie Wonder's "A lot of little makes a lot of lots" philosophy, just look at what this 7 year old kid did!

I hope you'll consider doing anything you can...a little or a lot.
