My prayers are with the people of Norway after the killings and bombing in Oslo and the lost of lives as well as the lost of the sense of security and openness that this country has always demonstrated.
I receive many daily readers from Norway and of course the lovely Anika lives in Oslo; thank god she and her family are fine as I just found out (I emailed her and she just emailed me back).
I just want to take this opportunity to send a message of support and condolences especially to those parents that have lost their children in the camp shooting.
And then the amazingly talented and so sadly portrait in the press, Amy Winehouse was found dead in her apartment.
Every time I saw photos or videos of her behaving irrationally; I always felt so sorry for her because she had so much talent and incredible potential but couldn't control her addiction demons. I introduced her music to both of my girls and I tireless played her cd's for many years.
So I dedicated this post to those whom are still here on our beautiful earth; breathing, crying, laughing, dealing with the joys and the suffering of every day life.
Con Amor,

I cannot comprehend what it would be like to lose a child, young or grown up.
Judy, you are so right; its such a terrifying experience and I just feel so sad for all of the parents that are going thru this in Norway.
Hi there-my deepest sympathy goes out to the families of those who died and who were wounded in Norway and to the dear Amy Winehouse who really was far too young and talented to pass at this early age. God be with them and may they all rest in peace xxxx
I hope you are well too my dear and wishing you a very nice weekend xxxx
I'm just heart sick about Amy and will be doing a dedication post in the coming days. I have shed more than one tear for her today. Poor, poor Amy.
And also my deepest condolences to the people of Norway. What a sad day for that otherwise very peaceful nation.

It's just horrible, first Norway, that beautiful and peaceful land suffering such an atrocious attack and then one of my biggest idols, Amy, passing away.
The last time I saw Amy in concert I cried, I knew it would probably be the last time I ever saw her play live and I was right. x
It is so sad to see people being killed or withering away... It never ceases to amaze me how people could commit such acts of violence whether towards others or themselves... so many lives are lost... so many talents... it is a shame...
I feel sad for Norway, Winehouse and for every innocent living soul/thing on this earth that have lost their lives.
what a sad weekend, I'm totally with you and the comment of Vix.
Its awful, the news this weekend has just been shocking. Let alone getting into whats happening in Africa. So sad and it gives us so much to be thankful for x
Yo tampoco puedo comprender como, suponiendo que somos seres racionales, todavía matamos para conseguir nuestros propositos, el atentado en Noruega causó mucha impresion, simplemente por el hecho de ser un país tranquilo y muy pacífico, es totalmente incomprensible.
Sharon, thanks my dear and yes we are very hot but healthy and happy here in my neck of the woods!
Sarah, I know that Amy was one of your favorite people in this world and it's so darn sad that she couldn't help herself or no one else could help her to control her addictions.
And the parents of the dead teens in Norway must be in such a terrible state of mind.
Vix, I'm glad that at least you got to see her in concert! I guess she was one of those souls that you know are not going to be here for a long time. I hated how the press treated her so different how they deal with men (like Charlie Sheen) than how they humiliated women with the same kind of problems.
Tabouleh, what a lovely and poignant comment. Dead is part of life but when it comes from such a violent act and against our youngsters it's impossible to make any sense of it.
Viviane, yes its has been kind of a sad accumulation of events.
August, its making me really tried so hard to be as positive and thankful for the small things that we have and for the opportunity of having an income an a way to feed my kids specially in contrast to what its going on in Somalia.
Rosy, es cierto una persona no puede tener conciencia para atacar jovencistos para poder proclamar sus puntos de vista. Es muy triste y me hace agredecer a Dios por lo que tenemos y por que nuestros hijos estan bien y saludables.
Besos,
I unite myself to your condolences: I fell horror for Norway and sadness for Amy (unfortunately her death didn't surprise me).

Yoana, it's so true about Amy; no one really expected her to be able to control her problems. But is so sad that she was not able to do so.
I second your sentiments. Norway has always been a country that seemed to promote peace...so, for that reason it seems doubly devastating.
I too was a fan of Amy Winehouse' music...and yesterday I found myself thinking about the connection between the fame that is a result of so much talent...and her fans. I found myself wondering to what extent we contribute to talented musicians' troubles.
Terri, you are so bright! I never thought about this way and in sense you are right because by continue to support and addict we are promoting to continue with his/hers addiction.
And about Norway, what to say except that is brokenhearted to think of the parents of those teens because I have teens myself.
Devastating news from Norway.
