Love Thursday: Thoughts, Prayers and Help for L’Aquila
By now, unless you live in a basement, you have heard about the awful earthquake, and subsequent aftershocks in L'Aquila Italy. So many people, so many historic buildings, so much history gone forever.
There are ways we can show our love, for the Italian residents of L'Aquila. I was going to write a post on how to help, but rather than duplicate all of the excellent info already floating around the Internets, I decided to provide links to the best information.
But, as I pass along the info I'll add a heartfelt plea for you to help. However you see fit.
Check out the following posts about how you can help:
Jessica from WhyGo Italy
Michelle from Bleeding Espresso
Jessica from Rome Photo Blog
Laura from Ciao Amalfi.
This post will remain a living breathing one, as I will add additional information as it comes to light.
Happy Love Thursday Everyone!
And Grazie Mille in advance, for any and all help you are able to give.

Ciao Robin! This is a perfect Love Thursday post! Thank you for all you have done on Twitter to keep us updated about news on the earthquake. I am in the States now on vacation and I first heard about it through your Twitter updates. It is so important to spread the word about the many ways we can help. And you are right… if we all helped just a little it is a wonderful display of love from all over the world! Grazie!!

I live in the heart of earthquake country right here in Northern California. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of the horrific earthquakes that have occurred right here that have devastated people lives.
We hold in our hearts all those affected by this Italian quake.
The most important thing that we can do is prepare ourselves for any type of worst scenarios. At least that will give some peace of mind.

Ah yes, I remember feeling that little shimmy-shake underneath me in Walnut Creek. But that was barely anything.
