Petition on a Friday

Today I would like to ask all of you to send good vibes and prayers to the people of Costa Rica as they are facing difficult times. Due to the influence of hurricane Tomas the country has seen non-stop rain for days which has caused floods and mud slides all over the country killing many people and leaving thousands without a place to to live.

The fruit of the coffee plant which later will become the 
coffee bean or as Costarricans call it "Gano de Oro" (Golden Grain)

On a lighter note, I am very happy the midterm elections are over so now the are no more "attack adds" on TV which were absolutely unnecessary... I wish politician would've used that money to help the battered US economy, don't you think?

Here are this week's links:

Today I will be guest posting at Jeniffer Fabulous' post called I Know, Right?... come over and check it out.

Have a fantastic weekend and say a prayer for those less fortunate than you!

  17. It turns out my mother started calling state level politicians to complain about their smear campaigns this year-how I adore her gumption!

    So glad you put a spotlight on the people of Costa Rica-I've been surprised by how scant news coverage of Hurricane Thomas seems to be!

  20. Thanks for spreading good thoughts to Costa Rica.
    It's hard to know what is happening with all the election/post-election craziness but yes ... so happy those ads are gone!

  21. So sad about Costa Rica! I have a special place in my heart for Costa Rica because I lived with a family there for a month for an "exchange program" when I was in high school. Such a beautiful country...

  22. Crazy about that governor candidate in CALI who spent over $100 million on her own campaign. Sad to think how much good that could've done elsewhere..

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow, $100 million on a campaign?!?! That is ridiculous!!!

  26. i had no idea about the flooding in cr! i lived there in 2003 and it holds a very special place in my heart.

    also the link "from boys to husbands" was fascinating. so many thanks for sharing.

  27. I've been thinking about the Costa Ricans too and they are most certainly in my prayers! The pic of the coffee plant fruit reminded me of my youth growing up in Jamaica. We grew our own coffee and my grandmother would use what is referred to as a mortar to grind the beans... Happy weekend to you!

  30. I hate the disasters that have been occurring, for the pain that those who live there must endure. On a lighter note, I cannot wait to visit these links.

    Hope your weekend was lovely,

  33. I can't imagine what those people are going through. You have a good heart for posting this.

  34. I hope that the victims in all places affected by Tomas will come out o.k....
    And yes, the amount of money spent on elections is indecent - here in California we're continuously being told about the $140 million - the most ever - spent by the candidate that lost the governor's election! They could use that for our economy, or even for Haiti or Costa Rica...
