Prayers Needed
by Amanda • June 22, 2012 • Shout outs • 26 Comments
I had the honor of meeting Annie at anunrefinedvegan and her brother Charles yesterday. It was like a reunion of people I love dearly and have known forever even though I was just ‘meeting’ them in person for the first time. Our visit was too emotional and personal to share, but I can’t help but solicit you for your prayers for the both of them regardless of your faith. For more details about specifically what to pray for, please read Annie’s latest post here. They could use your offerings of comfort, peace and love at this time.
Also a special thanks to my (unrelated) sisters, the “Good Clean Food Vegan Relief Society” here for helping me lovingly prepare a care package for the two of them. You lift me up and give me strength.
Update from Carolyn: Me and my restore yoga class will be “oming” for them tomorrow morning at 8:40 am, anyone who can set that time aside to om, meditate or pray at that time will make it even more powerful. You are also welcome to join my class tomorrow (first one is free, so this can be all about Annie and Charles). Class starts at 7:30am at The Lab in Orem (where old Runner’s corner was, right next to Zurchers). I would love to see a whole class of “prayers” for Annie and Charles.

Updated above. Thank you for your generosity and kindness. Love you.
Beautiful. Consider prayers sent. I can’t convey in words how seeing this photo just made me feel.
Thank you Shira. Hugs my dear.
Beautiful Somer. Sending love and prayers their way.
Thank you
Much appreciated Anne. Thank you.
Absolutely Somer…prayers their way. I’m so glad you were able to meet them, what a tender mercy for all of y’all. Hugs.
Thank you Debbie. Definitely tender mercies all around.
I feel blessed to have stumbled into this group. You are all such caring and wonderful people and Annie and Charles are definitely in my thoughts and in my heart.
Lovely words. I feel the same about you and your sister, it’s like a blogging sorority of sisters and we all grow and learn from one another, and feel each other’s pain. Annie is every bit as amazing as you imagine her to be, and more.
I’ve been thinking about Annie a lot- my heart truly goes out to her and her family. I’m so happy that you were able to meet them and share your positive energy with them.
I hope you have an awesome weekend, Somer. xoxo
Thank you so much for your comments Kristy. Funny how we learn to love each other through our blogs. I’m amazed at the real friendships I have developed and how many women (including you) have helped me so much on my vegan journey. I am hoping this weekend to get some R&R. I need it! xoxo
I’m happy to help in my humble way, with some oming of my own and some healing meditations for Annie and Charles. Blessings to you for your kindness and big heart xoxo
Thank you so much, having so many people band together and offer love and support is helpful grief and loss. I don’t know how people get through it when they have to go it alone.
I can’t make it to Orem, just don’t have that much time to myself without 3 kids in tow. But I will do an honorary 3 mile run for her in the morning and send healing thoughts every step of the way. Sending love to Annie! And you all rock- never thought I’d be a part of a sorority, I’ve always been more on the nomadic side. But if I were to chose one, a happy, vegan blogger crew just may be up my alley.
Amen. except for the morning run part. Happy thoughts going all over the place this week – it’s marvelous.
Yay for happy healing, loving thoughts!
Thank you Erika, running is one of the best ways to work through tough emotions and to send loving vibes to others in the process just makes it that much more powerful.
You are such a loving person, and I will certainly do what I can and pray for Annie and Charles. It’s so good to know that we are not alone in our journey here, and that we don’t have to walk the road alone. So many lovely people
to help us on our way. Love and thoughts to you too.
Thank you so much Meg, Love you!
Thanks for sharing this Somer. Annie is such a giving person and I will be praying for her and Charles.
Isn’t she amazing? I really, truly appreciate you too. xoxo
Wow….thanks for this post. In the short time I’ve known her, I’ve been amazed by her and it’s great to see her smiling in a recent photo. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, she is absolutely amazing. Seeing her again tomorrow, she is super grateful for all the love and well wishes. Thanks for yours
Tell her veganmonologue says hi and I”m thinking of her!!!!
Will do my friend! Thanks!
