Online Bake Sale Auction Items to Help Japan

The Japanese need your help more than ever; this is what we’re doing to help.

Actions speak louder than words but cookies and cakes speak across the globe for a hand in helping out.

Japan is a part of my culture and my mind. As you’ve seen in my blog my family is part Japanese American, my dad is full Japanese. Pretty much all of our relatives are in the states now but still my heart aches for all the loss and destruction of so many others. I traveled to Tokyo in summer of 09 and had one of the most life changing experiences of my life. I found who I could be and what I could commit to walking the streets of somewhere so foreign but in some way so familiar. I loved being in Japan and one day I hope to return.

When Sabrina of TheTomatoTart.com asked if I would like to participate in an online bake sale to raise money for Japan there was no way I could say no. As many have been impacted by this horrible chain of tragedy involving Japan, it’s hard not to feel helpless. I’m glad I can incorporate (along with almost 60 other bloggers) my love for baking into helping people.

My heart is definitely weary by the chain of events so horrible to even imagine let alone live through, but the grace and intensity that the Japanese are going about dealing with such catastrophic events really says a lot of about the culture and its capabilities. I believe with all my heart Japan is seeing the light that so many hearts have been beaming towards them and will continue to do their best but I also know every bit helps. I ask only that you believe in hope, have a little compassion, and breathe a little peace into the air, in these dark times.

So please if you have the time to take a look  or if you like my items please bid on some of the delicious treats that will be appearing in the next couple of days over many food blogs, and join us on March 30th at thetomtotart.com for the bidding.
