We would like to take a minute from our regularly scheduled blogging to offer our support and to send positive energies for the people who have been affected by the severe tornadoes, in particular those living in Joplin, Missouri. The devastation there is terrible and we can only hope the relief is given quickly to these people who have lost everything.
Here is some information for anyone who is able to assist in any way. Special thanks to Debunk Paranormal for gathering this information.
Our thoughts are with all of those affected. Stay safe.
We would encourage all who can to donate to the Tornado Relief Effort. There are many ways in which you can provide support, no matter how small.
