Okay I'm back, why do I ever stay away? I don't know, I'm sorry.
I have a new passion. I want to change the world. That's right, I want to get to the end of my life and know that what I did with my life matters. Realy, really matters.
Where do I start?
What does little 'ol me have to offer that big world out there? I'm nobody special- sure I absolutely adore my husband and my daughter Brooklyn, I make a damn good cup of coffee, and I can plan a decent party. But really...I screw things up a lot too. Let's face it, I have a college degree that I will be paying off for the next 30 years, yet I chose a "career" of being "mama", I speak my mind WAY too often, and I am really stubborn. Really. Plus....There are so many problems. Where do I start?
So I decided to make it easy on myself.
And pick.....ONE
That's right- I don't have to change the WHOLE world-just need to do my part. There have been many people/ideas/books/NFP orgs/church sermons, etc. that have pushed me to really discover what I love and I promise to give all those entities credit in due time, but today (tonight) I just want to talk about what I'm committed to changing.
My Voice.
I've recently discovered the world of Human Trafficking.
awful.horrible.breaks my heart.
And I am haunted by one thought...
What if this was my daughter???
THOUSANDS of girls are sex-trafficked in the United States every year. That's right the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
This problem is huge. Really, really, REALLY huge.
So where do we start?
Well let's educate ourselves.
Start by reading this book:
Or by visiting these sites:
The Genesis Project
Shared Hope International
Love 146
Note For Sale Campaign
Seattle Against Slavery
Just start there...I don't want to overwhelm you yet...I just want you to be informed. Did you know about this? Are you surprised? I sure was.
Are you on board yet?
Let's change the world.
These girls need YOUR voice.
XO,
