Thoughts About Orlando

My mind is rushing through so many thoughts and has been for several days now. I'm not even sure where to begin but first, I will say that I offer my condolences to the victims who survived and their friends and family as well as the friends and family who are now missing a loved one due to this tragedy.

Here we are days later and we now know more of the facts that occurred and the person who was behind this massacre.

Omar Mateen, 29-year-old American-born was on an FBI watchlist for years before this event occurred. He was killed in a police shootout. Omar's ex-wife describes him as violent and disturbed. His father hosts a show based out of Los Angeles and it is said he has expressed appreciation for the Afgan Taliban.

Tragedy in Newtown

I have been trying for days to think of something to write pertaining to the massacre that took place at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

My heart is saddened and with my deepest sympathies I extend prayers and compassion towards all of those who have been involved in this tragedy -- family, friends, and others. May you find your way back to filling love in that part of the heart you lost.

I know I haven't done any coverage of what has happened and what continues to happen in Japan. The truth is, I just can't even think about it. It's just too much for me. When I begin to even think about what I've seen on tv and what those people are going through, my mind just can't handle it.

My heart is so heavy right now and just writing this is making me anxious. I just can't even think about this horrible event without freaking out.

Please keep Japan and all the people that are there in your thoughts and prayers.
