YOUTHIASM® Ministry Blog:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women: It's Time to Rest &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing makes a woman (or anyone) feel old, look old, lack enthusiasm or be worn out with everyday life than having to secretly bear so much burden as a result of the troubles and challenges of life. By reason of the emotional, biological and general make up of a woman as opposed to that of a man, it can be safely asserted that no one bears more emotional, biological or any other burden than a woman. This in not to belittle or discountenance the emotional, biological or any other issues men deal with, but the truth is that women deal with much more. A good example is the process of childbirth. When a man and woman come together as husband and wife to have a child, the woman is the one who carries the pregnancy for nine month, goes through the labor and delivery, nurses the child and in most cases even until this day, have to be the child’s primary care giver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The things women have to deal with can turn out to be either a challenge or a blessing to women depending on the woman’s level of awareness, choice of attitude and preferred approach or action. It can be a huge challenge if a woman does not know how to best manage herself and her situations well enough so as to not end up being overwhelmed and worn out by of them. On the other hand, it can be a blessing if a woman truly understands and manages herself and her situation so well, if she continues to Grow rather than just Go through her daily challenges to help her become her best self. After all, the scriptures in Romans 8:28 reminds us that ALL things work together for the good of those who love God and her called according to His purpose. God can use those challenges to help every woman grow and become better equipped to face life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;To remain youthful and enthusiastic about life as a woman (or anyone), it is important to see and understand ourselves, life and our situations from the perspective of the God who made us. This is as laid out in His word. Many of the challenges faced by women and the entirety of the world today emanates from our total departure from the way of God. The solution can therefore only come from our return to His ways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The number one step a woman can take in an attempt to return to God is to accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. John 14:6 says Jesus is THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life. It makes it clear that no one can come to God except through Him. Notice that it says THE Way. This is to emphasize that there is no other way. If a woman has already taken this step, she has to ensure she lives daily as if Christ is truly her Lord and Savior. Either as a newly saved or already saved, the process is the same. Let Christ Direct your steps through His word Daily in order for Him to be your Lord. Depend on Him with all your challenges so He can be a Savior to you daily. Set time apart to seek the Lord in prayers and the study of His word. Be determined to believe and obey His word above the contrary voices inside and outside. In Matthew 22:36-37, Jesus simplified the commands of God when He told His listeners that the greatest law is to love God with all our hearts and soul. Next to it is the command that we should love our neighbors as ourselves. This is the summary of God’s command. The way to bring this to life in one’s daily life is by seeking, serving and pleasing God above all and by pleasing God in how we relate with others. This is the greatest guarantee to a life of uninterrupted youthfulness and enthusiasm.&lt;br /&gt;

The Legacy of Fatherhood &lt;br /&gt;
by Reverend Dr. Brook Bello&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have always loved and honored “men of honor.” If you ask me what it means right now to have my dad in my life along with my spiritual dad as well, I would have to say, “it’s like a gentle breeze of strength and delight.” There is nothing so beautiful than a great father! I have not met a child of any age who didn't want one or a woman who didn’t imagine or appreciate him either. I read sometime ago that; “chivalry is dead” but what has happened&amp;nbsp; to the idea of gender respect, fatherhood, protection and real love, here of late, makes that seem manageable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The organization I founded and run, More Too Life™ and my inspiration speaking Brook Bello Inspires is in a fight to do the hymnic maneuver on what I call, “The Legacy of Fatherhood.” The fight to stop the mass exit of men of honor or young men looking to discover what it means to be a man in the first place, from being steered down a long path to its demise. From choking on pop culture norms, years of shame and perhaps guilt, viewing pornograpy disguised as “boys will be boys” and the stripping of someones daughter, maybe your own, force prostitution buying, female lyrical degradation in hip hop music disguised as “mainstream.” Can we just cut with the “pop ups” please! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About a decade ago, I was sitting in my car in Hollywood, California. Besides the state I was born,&amp;nbsp; which we left when I was 3 or 4 years of age; I am from Southern California. I have lived in a few cities in L.A. County and they are all home to me. As a victim of profound sexual violence, and I use that word lightly because “sex” is not rape nor human trafficking (sex-slavery, forced prostitution or prostitution) but something relationally intimate. But for the purpose of explanation I am stuck calling it “sex slavery which is sex-trafficking” because the entire planet seems to have been duped. I have long stated along with other leaders, that sexual exploitation is camouflaged in a highly sexualized society. That being said, the thin line between intimate sex between and for example, a loving young or elder married duo with a family of 2 plus that met at their high school prom is not what rapist, pornographers, pedophiles, incestual criminals, child molestors, “sexual tourist” demanders or buyers, aka, “Johns” and other of these wretched violators of innocent little girls, little boys and young ladies, are actively doing. Although, some may think they are and that is a dangerous thing. There are those in Germany and other legislationally misguided countries when it comes to laws against prostitution (prostitution is legal in Germany, thus being a pimp or “landlord” is also legal) that take it to another level of deeply psychotic, satanic, sadistic torture of those children (young people) or women they purchase or sometimes kidnap or take.&amp;nbsp; Going into those unimaginable details is unnecessary. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, trust me when I say, it is bad and because of the internet, the softening of global lines and the exposure of all of it to impressionable youth, it is bad everywhere. And if you think or ever thought a 16 year old homeless teen or an 8 year old rape victim, who is now a 27 year old forcibly prostituted young lady, who even may be married to her trafficker pimp, who has 5 other young ladies living with them, desires to be there or even understands her demise, think again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the transatlantic slave trade millions of then Negroes (African Americans) were trafficked, enslaved for forced sex, forced labor; of every kind, killing and maiming for sport, to build the infrastructure of the USA and many other countries and in that former great old Kentucky way of being a 10 year old slave girl and “sold down the river” and I am sure you know what happen there. Not to mention that the male slaves were chained upstairs in barns and shacks to “de-man” them in every emotional and psychological way possible, which in all men I think creates a search for identity and manhood. But oddly enough the real problem with all forms of human trafficking is the “demand” for a helpless, innocent child, or a lost, broken or pained young woman and in some cases a young man. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My work on the Research Advisory Council for Hunt Alternatives, Demand Abolition and their excellent work in ending and combating demand is one of the best things going. That being said, slavery was once Negroes as it were, our Jewish brothers and sisters and Indians and so many other groups that now the capitalization on free labor and kicks for weirdoes is at an all time high and any statement against slavery, and justice to anyone should apply in todays “modern day slavery.” For that reason this quote of a quote from Joshua Dubois applies here;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. —Galatians 3:28 (ESV) On June 16, 1963, in the middle of an epic struggle for civil rights in America, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel sent a powerful telegram to President John F. Kennedy: We forfeit the right to worship God as long as we continue to humiliate Negroes. The hour calls for moral grandeur and spiritual audacity. When we demean, humiliate, debase God’s beloved creation, the rabbi said, we forfeit our very right to worship God.”&lt;br /&gt;
― Joshua DuBois, The President's Devotional &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree with scripture, I agree with Rabbi Abraham and I agree with Joshua Dubois. What about you?! However, humiliation seems too soft a word for even then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Trafficking women into prostitution and other branches of the sex industry accounts for the largest portion of human trafficking to Western Europe and in many cases is associated with serious violations of the right&amp;nbsp; to sexual self-determination and with considerable violence.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, some of the affected women are severely traumatized. However, the definition of &lt;br /&gt;
human trafficking is broader than this and also includes trafficking for the purpose of economic exploitation in other sectors, as well as trafficking into marriage.” &lt;br /&gt;
Follmar-Otto, Petra, and Heike Rabe. Human Trafficking in Germany: Strengthening Victim's Human Rights. Berlin: Deutsches Institut Für Menschenrechte, 2009. 2009 Human Trafficking Study. Web&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because of social dysfunctions it is often unclear who is a victim and who is not. But if the crux and core of the issue is men and there is an average of 7 - 40 men, depending which country you are in, on a given day or night who will purchase and that does not include rapes, familial sex slavery done in the home, in foster care and to homeless youth, then the issue is a predominately a male issue. I am known for this quote: “men are the biggest part of the problem of sexual violence and human trafficking and they will be the biggest part of the solution.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will the real men of honor please stand up. It may have been confusing who the victims were but now we are all without excuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“For example, human trafficking and human smuggling or illegal migration are confused, human trafficking is equated with forced prostitution and forced marriage, or human trafficking &lt;br /&gt;
is positioned merely within the framework of organized crime. The above definition allows distinctions to be made. This clearly shows that both the element of limiting the right of self-determination and freedom of movement and choice on the one hand and the exploitative purpose on the other hand are material. In contrast to human trafficking, in which the perpetrator uses coercion or deception to bring the trafficked persons into a situation of exploitation, the term smuggling means an arrangement to provide assistance to migrants in obtaining illegal entry.&amp;nbsp; However, the smuggling of migrants can in some cases lead to human trafficking when the trafficked persons, following an initial free decision to migrate using a smuggler, then lose control over their freedom of movement or choice, for example when their identity papers are taken away or they are forced to “work off” the smuggler’s fee under his control in the country of destination. “&lt;br /&gt;
Follmar-Otto, Petra, and Heike Rabe. Human Trafficking in Germany: Strengthening Victim's Human Rights. Berlin: Deutsches Institut Für Menschenrechte, 2009. 2009 Human Trafficking Study. Web&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Statements about the extent of human trafficking continue to be problematic. It is agreed that statistics on crime which reflect the number of known cases are not very informative. Estimates of the actual worldwide or regional extent of trafficking are often based on unclear definitions and methods. It is very obvious that depending on where we are geographically or intellectually there may be some made up greyed areas, but the bottom line is we all know when something is wrong and we all know that this is very wrong. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I ask, will the real men stand up? Will the men who love their wives and long to protect their sons and daughters stand up? Will the men who choose to honor God in the truest and most authentic of ways rise? Deuteronomy writes: “These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.&lt;br /&gt;
Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is what must be done, and dads, those who desire to be, brothers, fathers, husbands, young men searching; the legacy of fatherhood belongs to you. Breathe life into it, keep it from choking any longer, grab the reins and fight for glory for it lies in your hands. I am not saying women are not already in the fight but we cannot do it alone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proverbs 4:1-9 ESV&lt;br /&gt;
Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from my words.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;This book is better than a blog post. I tell you the work needs to be done but only in love. With all of life's challenges, whether they've been in our own life or the life of another human being. Our own state or another USA state. Our own nation or another nation - it really does effect everything, one way, or the other.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;So what will you do to be great today?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Coming out of the pain of being a
victim of human trafficking or being a buyer and longing to stop
exploiting/raping women and children does not have to be a secret when we
embrace the truth of where we've been&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But we need &lt;/span&gt;to get
to that broad place of emotional and psychological wholeness.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It is a &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;painful&lt;/span&gt; quandary to think you &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;know whe&lt;/span&gt;re &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;you want t&lt;/span&gt;o go in life &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;but to &lt;/span&gt;be paralyzed,&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;crouched in a corner&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;with a secret anguish that stops all forward movement. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;On the other hand, it is also a
strange America&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt; and a profoundly
distorted world &lt;/span&gt;when a pedophile, a porn addicted&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;buyer of prostituted children, teens and women, &lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;may desire to get &lt;/span&gt;help&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;but is too ashamed, cowardly
and profoundly ill to take the first step to &lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;achieving t&lt;/span&gt;heir freedom and his own.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;re
is a man who knows in his heart that he is committing a criminal and
soul-destroying act--but he st&lt;/span&gt;ill &lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;buys children's and women's bodies for sex. He rationalizes his
crime by our culture's warped values, the pervasive devaluation of women and
acceptance of violence against women.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Our obsessively o&lt;/span&gt;verly&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;-s&lt;/span&gt;exed
society&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;has forgotten th&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;e buying and selling of female bodies h&lt;/span&gt;as
&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;nothing &lt;/span&gt;to do with sex in
the first place. On the contrary, &lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;the
word &lt;/span&gt;sex comes from a root word that means intimacy. There is no
intimacy in the purchase of the sex act, only degradation for both parties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Even survivors of &lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;sexual exploitation, &lt;/span&gt;once free&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;d from being prostituted, &lt;/span&gt;will
often spend decades trying to recover, trying to take their place&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;among&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;the accomplished, successful people in our society. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Does it matter that after I was raped, &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;I &lt;/span&gt;eventually ran away from
home and was trafficked into the backseat of &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;a car? That&lt;/span&gt; lead to &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;being trafficked i&lt;/span&gt;n &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;an a&lt;/span&gt;partment, which turned into a brothel.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;That&lt;/span&gt; snatched my life &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;and my heart from me. &lt;/span&gt;Does it matter to those that don&lt;span style="mso-ascii-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;t
understand that rape is not sex and sex trafficking is being repeatedly raped&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Who, then, can u&lt;/span&gt;nderstand what it really takes to heal from that&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Survivors, are&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="mso-ascii-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;hidden in plain si&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;ght".&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Society is blind to&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;the destruction wreaked on our bodies and
minds.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And at the same time, vict&lt;/span&gt;ims
and survivors&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;rarely comprehend the extent of damage to
psyche and soul by all this violence, to our ability to heal and go on.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In others words, "we do not know that
we don't know."&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Does it matter that I was t&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;rafficked &lt;/span&gt;until my small body
didn't know the difference between that world of dark evil &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; the more innocent one I &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;was born into?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Does it matter to anyone that&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; many&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;trafficked girls and women don't&lt;/span&gt; live to tell
their stories or will ever be in &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;a
healthy enough &lt;/span&gt;mind to do so?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Does it matter that in &lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;the journey of "&lt;/span&gt;victim to
survivor, survivor to thriver&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;” they &lt;/span&gt;need real friends and loving therapy without having to beg for it?&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;Victims should not &lt;/span&gt;be re-victimized by a &lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;judgmental and dismissive
society.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;The media and first responder should learn to have an exceptional counsel in boundaries for once sexually violated victimized
children did not learn how to cope with the eyes of judgement and a lack of understanding in many cases, as well as others, because they were learning that they were worth nothing. As
children and young girls, are forcibly taught, while being trafficked, that we we&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;re &lt;/span&gt;good for nothing&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;--just &lt;/span&gt;throwaway, soul
assassinated sex toys&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Can society face the fact that o&lt;/span&gt;ur
little baby virginal wombs ranging these days we've seen as young as 3 years old and up &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;have been violated, &lt;/span&gt;not to
mention all of the boys that are also pillaged and raped from an
average age of 5 &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;years
old.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And all for&lt;/span&gt; the sick
pleasure of a pedophile beast disguised as a man in a, sweatsuit, or jeans or a suit and tie, often with
a family photo in his wallet and a college ring on his finger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;Look, our society today has serious issues in the midst of obviously great things as well so what do we do?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We cannot heal if we hide our eyes from the dark, twisted world of
Modern Day Slavery. We can avert our eyes; we can pretend that the degradation
of women and children is okay. We can "normalize" violence and
exploitation of women and children, through our warped entertainment media and
our culture at large.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Society deems prostituted women
as adults&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; who &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;often &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;claim that a life of being prostituted is by their own choice.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But after years of being beaten and
drugged by pimps, years of being deeply wounded, often beaten and degraded by
scars, hundreds of strange and broken men--old, young, fat, thin,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;foul-smelling, oily, dirty or perfumed--all
strangers--they hardly know what is healthy reality any more.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;How can they be said to be making their own
choices?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Or they might have a
"career" of sliding down poles with once innocent
backsides in the air for the &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;warped
(addicted)&lt;/span&gt; pleasure of a man that deems himself a brother, friend or father to someone and husband
to another&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;--but to whom they are
nothing but trash to be abused--"whore, whoe, slut."&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Disposable.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Underneath, despised, all while calling it dancing. Now, I love the ballet, and jazz and modern dance but that ain't it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;It is a travesty to call&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; the trafficking of young girls
"&lt;/span&gt;teenage prostit&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;ution"
or to advocate for "legalized prostitution". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Even
&lt;/span&gt;adult women who are scared into saying yes &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;to being trafficked were &lt;/span&gt;often broken children who
&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;were sexually abused at home,
lost in an indifferent foster-care system, and then enticed/tricked into
prostitution by pimps who lies will often promise them love and/or
security.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But then&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;the pimp&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;will "groom" her with thoughts of heaven or "season" the girl or woman through gang rape, beating and
drugging her and pursuing to guide her all the way to hell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The girl or woman may seem an adult "making her own
choices" but she is caught in a dark downward spiral of being degraded,
sexually used, often beaten by the, trafficker, buyer, and/or the "trick".&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;How does it feel, can you imagine the horror
of a "popular trend" among sex-buyers of gagging so far down the woman's throat she gags to the point of passing out.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Covering her face with fear so that she
cannot see, all the while calling her "filth"?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; How does one pursue to feel clean after this and make their way back into "mainstream" society?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Pretty
soon she is in utter darkness so far from the surface of light it's hard to
find a way out.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Most trafficked women
probably give up trying and stay addicted to drugs and sometimes end up as homeless addicted prostituted women, who to many, seem useless and not worth fighting for. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;And herein lies, the lie and
the twisted truth of human-trafficking: Greed, capital G,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;will always find away to capitalize on&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;a desperately abused person's confusion,
despair and guilt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;I have to say, with man it is impossible but with God all things are possible and I believe that restoration is real.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is
out of focus."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;But we can fight this horror.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We only have to open our eyes to the
destruction being wreaked on both&lt;span style="mso-hansi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;
the victim of trafficking, and--we must remember--upon the perpetrator as well.
For, as&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;wise souls remind us, evil-doers
are harming themselves as well as their victims.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We all must face this evil, and find ways to
get at root causes (poverty and a culture of violence) to end trafficking. &lt;/span&gt;The
world around us cannot define who we are because we as its caretakers shape our
world in the first place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;I realize that there are many that do not have great relationships with moms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;Truth be told we come across many especially in 
HT/TIP whose mothers did not know (so they say) that their children were
 being raped over and over again by their husbands, the child's father, 
step father or Moms friend.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;This is hard and as well very painful, but if we don't address we cannot comfort the hurting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;There are adults who, to this day, your mother 
never really loved you,&amp;nbsp; mostly because she did not know how.&amp;nbsp; Why else 
and how could a mother not share love with the child from their womb. 
Even if that womb is the heart of God which is often the case with 
adopted children.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;To this, I say,&amp;nbsp; LOVE ANYWAY,&amp;nbsp; not that you have 
to see her today or any day but you love because YOU have taken a higher
 road. YOU love because in that even if she abused you, she will see 
what love is, even if for the first time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;As how can we show love to someone that harmed us 
unless in fact, we have LOVE in the true meaning of the word. It is, as I
 say,&amp;nbsp; does not mean you have to spend time or lots of time at all, but 
it is the condition of our hearts that matters the most. This is 
FREEDOM...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

Human Trafficking and Mental Bondage is a riveting chronicle of Brook 
Parker Bello's journey, surviving child sex-slavery, a form of human 
trafficking. Pornography, pedophilia, fear, worry, suicide, doubt, 
confusion, depression, sexual exploitation, parenting challenges, anger,
 ego and identity, buyers and demand of trafficking victims, feelings of
 self loathing and loneliness are often related to exposures growing up 
as children and are ultimately part of our heart and mind which is 
actually, according to science and God, one in the same in many ways.  
Human trafficking is a product of root issues unresolved and the victims
 suffer but also the predators as bondage after physical often go 
unnoticed, as it is the bondage of the mind that lingers long after 
physical rescue from captivity.  With judgment, comes discrimination and
 with it comes loss of compassion, and this is often the case for 
victims of HT who are broken, lost and cast aside by society, or the 
identification of their victimization unnoticed by community and family.
 If readers suffer from misunderstanding what all of this means and how a
 victim can transform to a champion and forgive the predators, they can 
take heart! Brook Bello has a unique way of teaching and sharing and has
 helped many overcome these abusive crimes or assist some one else in 
helping a loved one find their path to wholeness.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;h4 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"&gt;This beloved advocate,
 minister and now author shows readers how to change their lives by 
learning and loving and being personally empowered to celebrate life by 
altering their hearts and minds.  She covers:  • Freedom from bondage  •
 Awareness and prevention  • Why heart healing is often stunted in these
 types of cases  • How to treat the root and not just the symptoms of 
the pain it causes • What can be done to combat various facets of modern
 day slavery  • She teaches how to receive healing and live life to the 
fullest by saving lives, giving back something great and learning that 
mental bondage is suffered by many and when we are free to understand 
who we are, our ability to be a part of the eradication of modern day 
slavery and other society ills and the answers is a prayer away.  Brook 
believes that ultimately that men of honor and healthy fathers will be a
 huge part of that answer. She shares the trials, tragedies, and 
ultimate victories from her own life that led her to beautiful, 
life-transforming honesty along the way.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

thank God for the power, strength, and courage of the life force that is
 Brook Bello. We are on the planet to use our gifts--our pain and 
suffering--to being wholly transparent. We literally breathe life into 
others when we share our stories with one another. It is the essence of 
healing--and the only way we can know we are not alone. Thank you, 
Brook, for standing and living in God's grace. Living Inside the Rainbow
 reminds me of words of Edmund Burke...'All that is required for the 
triumph of evil is that good men remain silent and do nothing.' Your 
book is a clarion call for us to use our voices to put an end to human 
trafficking." Terrie M. Williams, Author Black Pain: It Just Looks Like 
We're Not Hurting "Living Inside the Rainbow is about God's promise of 
restoration." Dr. Beverly "Bam" Crawford Founder and Pastor of Bible 
Enrichment Fellowship International Church "This book will be powerfully
 freeing and enlightening." Pastor David Anderson Author, Radio Host, 
and Church "Living Inside the Rainbow is a 'must read' for those who 
hate evil and want to learn how to help eradicate the human trafficking 
industry." Dr. Barbara Williams-Skinner President, Skinner Leadership 
"Brook Bello reveals her own life's journey of God's Amazing 
Faithfulness and Grace. Life is a gift...a gift of grace. Brook moves 
from trauma to wholeness. Literally from Grace to Grace."Dr. Carroll A Baltimore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This Campaign is about YOU. It is about US. About the simple fact that coming soon many will get tired of hearing the issue of "Human Trafficking" and just as the movement of HIV/AIDS, many will begin to think that for the most part&amp;nbsp; - enough awareness and enough healing has taken place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, thousands are still dying of AIDS and thousands still contracting the decease of HIV and living in fear, shame and depression. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent story below is a sign that all around us, girls and even boys, have been taken, maligned, held captive around us, with no one doing anything about it because some of us don't care and most don't notice nor understands the various nuances of victim identification in the first place, nor do they care to learn. I realize,&amp;nbsp; with all of the many emails I received regarding the SUPERBOWL it really is about anything and everything we can do to stop for just one... and then another.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It is not about one sporting event but all events, (conference, medical conventions, insurance conventions) and many other events where a large number of individuals come from around the nation, or world to gather. Where this takes place&amp;nbsp; you will see at least some increase in pimping/trafficking and purchasing of human beings on many levels, rape/sex, farm, domestic, organs and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea that Amnesty Int or any group would desire to legalize a crime where behind closed doors 99% of the women state depression, addiction and self loathing is ludicrous. The idea that people still don't see that because of absent fathers, broken mothers and the likes children grow up not knowing who they are and oftentimes the one that appears to come to the rescue is the trafficker and abuser dressed in angelic colors and smiles, the father or mother or friend never known, only to be the demise of that child's/persons life and that of our communities and others around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh did I also say that many so-called adult prostitutes, are really children dressed to seem older, and if legalized who will rightly divide this ill?&amp;nbsp; Did I also say that many adult prostitutes were also broken children who have now grown and are lost with an identity developed all the way down the rabbit hole?&amp;nbsp; Not one that they dreamed or imagined, but the ill of it, developed over time, in the deep recesses of their mind, with the beatific natural origin of who they could have become and once dreamed, now lost...along with so much more down that very same, rabbit hole?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Love is as love does" after all. So what will we do? What will YOU do?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="bodytext"&gt;
RICHMOND
 -- In the end, Raul Ochoa was tricked by the relative he had physically
 controlled and sexually assaulted for more than a decade.&lt;/div&gt;
On Aug.
 16, 2012, the victim of his emotional and sexual abuse -- who had 
helped build a plywood shed in their Richmond backyard where he 
repeatedly raped her -- told him she was using the restroom, and when 
Ochoa left the room, ran to a waiting car that whisked her to the 
Richmond police station.&lt;br /&gt;
The woman, who this newspaper is not 
naming because she's the victim of sexual abuse, told police she was a 
runaway and needed help, initially confusing officers. They do not often
 come across 27-year-old runaways, said Contra Costa deputy district 
attorney Ryan Wagner.&lt;br /&gt;
"Basically, her entire childhood was more or
 less stolen from her," Wagner said of the case with striking 
resemblances to the tragic tale of Jaycee Dugard, the abducted girl who 
was held captive as a sex slave near Antioch for 18 years. "From 1998 
when she was 12 until 2012 she was under his control the entire time."&lt;br /&gt;
On
 Wednesday morning in a Martinez courtroom, Ochoa, 52, pleaded guilty to
 one count of forced lewd acts on a child and two counts of forcible 
rape. As part of the deal, he will receive 22 years in state prison. His
 formal sentencing is Feb. 11.&lt;br /&gt;
Years before the abuse started, 
Ochoa asked his wife if he could have sex with the girl. Confused, the 
wife refused and Ochoa told her, "I was just joking," Wagner said.&lt;br /&gt;
By
 age 12, however, Ochoa started to force intercourse with the girl, he 
said. It's unclear whether the wife and other children in the house knew
 the extent of the abuse, Wagner said.&lt;br /&gt;
"The wife was scared to 
death of him," he said. The girl and Ochoa's wife endured "significant 
violence" from him, the prosecutor said.&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Ochoa 
forced the victim to work for his landscaping business and home-schooled
 her. She rarely was allowed to leave the house by herself and he 
constantly checked her cellphone, Wagner said.&lt;br /&gt;
"She felt she couldn't leave, and he would threaten that he would harm her or harm himself if she left," Wagner said.&lt;br /&gt;
As
 she got older, Ochoa would not let her date other men. She went to one 
dance, and when she returned, he threw her dress away and said she could
 never go again.&lt;br /&gt;
In recorded phone calls, Wagner said, Ochoa told 
her, "We're like husband and wife." Ochoa also made comments in recorded
 phone calls set up by police that implicated himself in the abuse.&lt;br /&gt;
"What this guy did to her for that long of a period of time was as horrific as I've seen," Wagner said.&lt;br /&gt;
In the years before his arrest, Ochoa had her help build a backyard shed.&lt;br /&gt;
"He
 convinced her it was going to be a place to watch movies together and a
 place for the family to hang out, but it turned into something much 
worse," Wagner said.&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, the girl's siblings convinced her to escape.&lt;br /&gt;
"She's
 an extremely courageous and strong woman," Wagner said. "She was 
basically under emotional, physical and psychological abuse her entire 
childhood."&lt;br /&gt;
The Richmond girl's plight had similarities to the 
case of Dugard, who was abducted at age 11 and forced to have sex with 
her kidnapper, Phillip Garrido, for more than 18 years, fathering two 
children. Garrido also constructed a den in the backyard where Dugard 
was kept and hidden from authorities.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;“[T]hat old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer 
passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football
 in the air ... Another fall, another turned page: there was something 
of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes
 had been wiped clean by summer.”

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Wow! What a whirlwind of a new year and so much to be done so let us begin and also continue&amp;nbsp; our preparation for victory!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;ARE YOU READY TO END MODERN DAY SLAVERY!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Well there are a number of things that we can do. But for this blog I want for you to email some of those things you think are important, with links to your site and so on.&amp;nbsp; Below,&amp;nbsp; our comment section for just that purpose, yet they are not made public until we view, so, I will simply pull from there and use the ones that appeal to the broader spectrum. The following questions are related to all facets around the issue of Human Trafficking, such as: Family, community, law enforcement, legislation, politics, policy, victims resources, housing - all of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I will finish the blog after getting a beat with what you need and/or are frustrated about?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I would also like to know your thoughts on PSH (Permanent Supportive Housing). Being that H.U.D is no longer funding or very little emergency or temporary housing, but rather PSH, what do you think this&amp;nbsp; effect will have on all forms of Human Trafficking Victims and needs? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&amp;nbsp;What do you think is needed the most to battle HT?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&amp;nbsp;What would you like to see changed?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I would also like your take on the super bowl and how you think about it's effect on Human Trafficking, if any at all?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I will be writing on the following statement and wonder what YOU think:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:1,&amp;quot;tn&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;K&amp;quot;}" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span class="messageBody" data-ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:3,&amp;quot;tn&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;K&amp;quot;}"&gt;&lt;span class="userContent"&gt;A proposed policy by international human rights organization Amnesty 
International calls for the legalization of prostitution worldwide. 
“Criminalization of sex work prevents people from exercising their human
 rights,” states a December 2013 news briefing from Amnesty 
International UK. “It is…based on a naïve view of sex workers as victims
 which denies the possibility that they have made a legitimate choice in
 engaging in this work. It is a mistake to believe that all sex work is a
 form of forced labor.” &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Hmmmmmm...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

 believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we 
create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;If I had an "Aladdin's Lamp" I would wipe it all the evil away as it was in the floods in Noah's day. But, here we are,&amp;nbsp; facing it, as well as still smack dab in the face of the mediocre who have often, one foot in the fight and one foot out. Does the word hypocritical ring a bell? No one is below anyone and we all have a right to pursue the very best in every way. Even when someone has been violated in such a way and it seems like they are not in a place to achieve the dream that they have, or they have lost or never known their potencial, doesn't mean they can't or won't&amp;nbsp; - after they have come to a certain place of wholeness with support and love. What does that mean exactly, simply that moderate believing and moderate faith with moderate, in earnest, in someone, anyone, that has gone through a hell not their own (whether one believes it or not) truly, and fully has the right to dream big, and achieve any and every goal that was lost in the fire of abuse - and any thing less, is not good enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;We cannot sit casually by, give people a little counseling, a pat on the back, a hairbrush and a minimum wage job and act like we've given those that have struggled the profound, unseemly evil, will benefit and move to fulfill lost destiny, &lt;i&gt;unless, we stay in the fight with them and give them time and much more.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Reintegration, back into mainstream society? What does that mean exactly? Is that a good thing? It can be, if you know who you are when you're there, that's the point. It can be if we know that even there, is filled with the same ills, that were in the rabbit hole hell that was climbed out of.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;More... More Too Life... There is more, much more that someone can give, after having suffered such demeaning wickedness.&amp;nbsp; Sexual violations being the worst according to doctors and any form of oppression running, nip and tuck.&amp;nbsp; So much, that those who have had victory over all of this can offer society, especially when given the opportunities through scholarships, training, education, faith, and more, much, much more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Look, we have got to dig deep, going to the roots, in love and with honor and respect, nonetheless, but unless&amp;nbsp; you have been mi-lined by a pedophile, raped by your daddy, hated by your mother because of it, ostracized by your friends, sold to&amp;nbsp; your neighbor, while being beaten, drugged and barked at, with fangs, by packs of wolves posing as friends, seen every man that looked like the next door neighbor, the basketball coach, to the soccer coach, to the doctor,&amp;nbsp; clergy of all religions, lawyer, baker, chef, gangster, athlete and the likes rob your innocence and take what was not theirs and often go back to their families and act like nothing has happened, after they have raped the daughter or son of another, you can't really understand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;But to those of you who do - don't give up. There are good men out there and amazing fathers, of which, we need and long for! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Men, are an answer to the problem of demand, and it's end, let's not get that twisted. We have got to change the language around human trafficking and sexual violations and legislation and more, much more. I speak about it in my book coming soon, Living Inside the Rainbow" a book of faith, and victory.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Thank
  you to all of you for reading and listening in Austria, Serbia, Bahamas, Macau, Algeria, Mauritius, Philippines, Armenia, US, Belize, Brazil, Georgia (Eurasia), Saint 
Lucia, Ecuador, Japan, Malaysia, Portugal, Bulgaria, New  Zealand, 
Finland, South Africa,&amp;nbsp; Iraq, Australia, Cambodia,&amp;nbsp; Germany,  Sweden,

Korea, Canada, Switzerland, Jordan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Slovakia,   
Romania,  Vietnam,&amp;nbsp; The Netherlands, Turkey, Thailand, Kenya,&amp;nbsp; United   
Arab Emirates, and the Kingdom of  Bahrain thank you for reading and   
allowing this to be part of your  healing and awareness journey. I do  
not take it lightly and appreciate all you do for me and more  
importantly for those who need you right now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Human Trafficking has its own ill as well as a profound message of the troubles that plague the soul of many in our country and around the globe. It's unfortunate growth and overlooked organization is a depiction of the fact that we have been asleep. That we have not protected our children or ourselves. Although, what happens to the victims really does happen to the whole world.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;It is a sign that our focus needs to change.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I am the ultimate optimist, this is without a doubt. I am a firm believer in the great economist theory that the greatest asset in the world...is people; human beings. I am also a firm believer in &lt;i&gt;freedom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
My issue, however,&amp;nbsp; is that here of late how we define this freedom and what it means to us depending on where we come from, how we grew up or the psychological prowess of who we are as individuals, class groups, secret groups, sects, Democrats, Republicans, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and so on has put us in a bit of a quandary.&amp;nbsp; It seems to me that we all shout for freedom yet point fingers at those that are different than us which is not freedom, at all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Now, this does not mean that we or them or whoever isn't right at any given moment relating to any given circumstance. Let's be honest, truth doesn't change, no matter what you&amp;nbsp; or I believe&amp;nbsp; - there is a truth... and God the creator of the universe knows what that is. Now if you don't believe in God, I don't know what to say?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;But when we create laws yet rid of other laws or rights for the purpose of hiding behind clouds of madness to do our dirty work and to pretend that some love when they don't, that some are not racist when they are and others do not hate when they do, we have allowed masks to cloud our judgement of what is good and expedient for our society as a whole and what is not.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Human Trafficking didn't just creep in unplanned, unnoticed (by some) and unwanted. The fact that pedophiles are all around us unfortunately dressed in nice suits and often married to nice women who are in the dark is odd. These women also, who sometimes pretend to have some great intuition that has escaped them. Albeit,&amp;nbsp; when it comes to his illness or sickness and all to many times his molestation or raping and video taping of his own children, step children or another innocent means that many are at fault.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
That whether perpetrator or bystander&amp;nbsp; - we all in society have had a part to play in the crime, at some point. For the supreme court to overturn the 1965 decisions of the VRA (Voting Rights Act of 1965)&amp;nbsp; by stating that it is no longer needed today when many of the 9 southern states in question are already about the business of redistricting to make it difficult for students, Blacks, some elders, handicapped, and others of color to vote, is a tell tale sign of why it was put in place - in the first place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Now, why am I mentioning this? Because, America has some serious problems. The fact that a coach could sit by while his friend raped little boys who wanted to play sports is uncanny but it happens everyday. Or, that a teenager on his way to the store holding a snack with no weapon could be killed and shot, is nothing short of ludicrous. Now, Black on Black gang crime is just as bad as any crime and we must cry out about it as well!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
But statistics still show that Whites are not less criminal in the murder and breaking of laws then other criminals but you don't see me scared and running to the other side of the street or clutching my purse tighter. Even though, I could for the same statistical reasons as those who do clutch their purses when innocent Black boys are wearing their schools color hoodie on the way to school, work, or play, not to mention Black men on their way home from a long day and the likes. If I clutch my purse I do it for whoever, if I'm walking to my car at night in any neighborhood, I will simply be careful regardless of who is there or not.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;The fact that rape and molestation happens in the temples and churches of every religion and denomination is incredible. This in turn really upsets me as I love to serve God and be forward thinking in my faith. You see, to have others say they believe what I believe and either allow this to happen or do it themselves means that somebody is off and it's time we share our stories and come together.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
What do we do?&amp;nbsp; Keep believing, keep fighting, keep loving for sure! Keep setting free those that are enslaved and when we do, we free our own souls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Recently in Asia and around the globe I've spoke on the plight of how the impact of trauma effects a child's life, for the rest of their lives and this is something we can no longer overlook. We can no longer overlook the things that pain the soul of our children,&amp;nbsp; because, our children will one day be the population all around us. We can no longer overlook the needs of women, the "life spring" and mother of all. Nor can we wait any longer for men to stand up to guard and keep and protect the garden and all that is therein.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
The ridding of Human Trafficking in our society &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; freedom, and it is what I long for.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Although, if I've learned anything, it is this; that freedom doesn't come from judging others, as judgement blocks our compassion.&amp;nbsp; Freedom can only come by leading in and by loving and celebrating our differences in truth and love once again; all the while creating a society that protects us all from harm as much as is possible.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I often stare at this logo as I am laying on my bed. As I stare off into this beautiful gift designed by Kenneth Ussenko on my behalf, I think about God, I ponder what I have been delivered and freed from physically and mentally by His "amazing grace."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Thank
  for listening in Algeria, Mauritius, Philippines,&amp;nbsp; Armenia, US, Belize, Brazil, Georgia (Eurasia), Saint 
Lucia, Ecuador, Japan, Malaysia, Portugal, Bulgaria, New  Zealand,

Arab Emirates, and the Kingdom of  Bahrain thank you for reading and   
allowing this to be part of your  healing and awareness journey. I do  
not take it lightly and appreciate all you do for me and more  
importantly for those who need you right now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I'm teary eyed in a flash for as I think of my own redemption of life I think of the many others who are locked in bondage, be it mentally or physically as, "Michelle, Gina and Amanda" who recently escaped a horrid hell hole in "Cleveland, Oho." A hell hole as many right here in the streets, houses, rural, urban and everywhere in America and around the world, a hellhole that people walked by for 10 years without ever skipping a beat.&amp;nbsp; And if someone did have an inkling, they didn't stop to investigate.&amp;nbsp; I think of one of the girls I mentor now and am an advocate for who was raped and sodomized at a very young age. A brilliant girl who is uncertain of the ground she treads albeit because someone she loved who should have cared for her raped her, over and over and over and over and over and over and over an over and over and over and over and over, again. Sex is one thing and this isn't that.&amp;nbsp; I don't even like the term "sex" slavery because it's not....&amp;nbsp; yet it is slavery, a very gruesome pillaging,&amp;nbsp; of the worst kind and the most damaging according to many doctors that can me done to a child or individual. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;On the other side of it, I find that even in the most gruesome of circumstances, there is and can be "More Too Life."&amp;nbsp; As most survivors I've met, are true heroes and do desire to get past it, somehow, someday,&amp;nbsp; and fulfill a life that they can and have only dreamed about... There really is More for us because that's why we're here&amp;nbsp; in the first place,&amp;nbsp; but the more, is deeper and more profound than we often realize.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I'm on the path by the Grace extended toward me by God's love to assist me in living again, if ever I did,&amp;nbsp; and thriving for the first time, that I am able to assist others and that is what More Too Life is all about.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;There is More Too Life for all of us! But one thing that is an uncanny oddity is that we cannot fight evil with anger,&amp;nbsp; placation,&amp;nbsp; sarcasms, big 'I's" and little "you's" or any such thing,&amp;nbsp; only Love can do that and it must be at the forefront, ist Corinthians 13.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I also believe that the many survivors and victims not yet released need to see and sense us love, they need to know as I did that love actually exist and is a very real and tangible experience.&amp;nbsp; It's unfortunate that some have taken the evil so called business (of which it is not, nor ever was a business or an industry, of Human-Trafficking because that-that kills, robs, stills and destroys is not an industry but rather a murderous crime) with very little knowledge and are pursuing to fight it with out first understanding it, really understanding it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I do realize that some are pursuing to alter this former state of mind and that's good.&amp;nbsp; But I still, as a survivor experience as others that "yes, you are the experts, so tell us of everything you know so we can go do it and often push us aside, instead of empowering survivor run organizations so that our doors and programs can stay wide open.&amp;nbsp; As survivors, once victims are still fighting for their lives, fighting to show victims coming out that there is life after death! And that the hard work of survivors fighting for our lives to save others and bring a profound "neck down" awareness (which is a term I have coined about&amp;nbsp; my experience that was given to me by my mentor Barbara A Perkins) that&amp;nbsp; - all that we do is supported and appreciated by those that actually call themselves advocates for survivors and victims of human-trafficking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;You see,&amp;nbsp; discrimination and a lack of understanding has been the reason it is as bad as it is anyway. The fact that rape is the number 3 crime in America and less than a few percent convictions in the states and over 85% not getting past the front desk of officers is a problem. That is often do to discrimination and a major lack of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;i&gt;understanding.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;It is what happens to a victim on an emotional, mental and physical level when a first responder or officer doesn't see a victim as a victim.&amp;nbsp; Doesn't understand the stress chemicals and issues of the mind and heart that are plaguing victims, which is why it is hard to get a straight answer from someone under this horrific trauma.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;In addition to just 7 months ago, shucks,&amp;nbsp; 2 weeks ago, people were talking about the "all time highs of teenage prostitution."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Well,&amp;nbsp; it seems that many are beginning to realize that since sex with a minor is rape and multiple rape at that&amp;nbsp; - not only of a body, but of a heart and mind, then how could it ever be teenage prostitution. Ugggggg... We have much work to do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I applaud those that are doing it with love, not for the business of advocacy but for the earnest idea of justice and the saving and renewing of lives that are lost and must be found.&amp;nbsp; I remember, the ugly sick darkness of the brothel, the ill hearted, lost souls that came in and the wicked things that I saw as a young girl. A lifetime, to heal and now a new life to give of that wholeness to others.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Only with God's love and light will this end and only when men of valor stand and tell their stories and stand in front of those that harm will we as women still be waiting. Waiting for our long lost fathers, brothers, uncles and male counter-parts to arise to this very love and win this battle, for they are one of the biggest answers to this grave problem and it is men who lead in love that will break up this fallow ground.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;A Mother and a Fathers love is a precious thing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;It is an extraordinary and supernatural phenomena&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I understand that for many this is a painful subject because of broken relationships with mother's who never knew how to love you. Father's who were never there. Mother's who divorced fathers and the likes without ever sharing why.&amp;nbsp; Or you w&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;ere ra&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;ised or are being raised in &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;f&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;oster care which is &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;sometimes&lt;/span&gt; difficult for ma&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;ny&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;. &lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Some of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;you &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;were abandoned and still &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;in pain&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; and need so&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;me sense of paternal &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;foundation&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Mothers who pretended they&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;didn't &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt; that &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;d&lt;/span&gt;addy was hurting you, abusing and robbing you of your &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;virtue&lt;/span&gt;, of your soul.&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; you love her eve&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;n from a&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;far and forgive and le&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;t the pain and hurt go, freed&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;om wi&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;ll&lt;/span&gt; spring forth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fdfi.org/brook-bello-here-a-now-interview-abc-new-york-city.html"&gt;http://www.fdfi.org/brook-bello-here-a-now-interview-abc-new-york-city.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;I often hear of girls who were shattered by divorce, molestation or rape&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Broken hurt and confused met other broken girls, pimps, madams (pimps and madams are pedophiles and unfortunately many many pimps that we come across were/are also bi-sexual) they will be with anyone at anytime simply to fulfill personal gain. Nonetheless, these broken minors grew up and began to call themselves prostitutes, and do until this day. But how can that be when intercourse with a minor is rape?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Thinking about it, moves me to such a heart of compassion with them and a passionate angst with those that do not understand.&amp;nbsp; In my NEW BOOK coming soon, through my own story, I explain the heart and mind of a child victim and how and why the process of stress and pain makes it easier for the ills of man to enter in and raise havoc in such a dark life of "soul assassination" -&amp;nbsp; child-sex slavery, which is forced prostitution, which most often leads to adult prostitution, with the victim all the while thinking it's who they are. They think it's their choice rather than something they were manipulated, raped, seasoned and snatched into. Howbeit, when their minds were not developed and under a stress that creates all sorts of "disorders."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;I will also say that there is a difference between right and wrong, but if you do not know what that is because you are too young to understand it all and your heart/mind and conscious tainted by the adults around you what are you to do? Of course every situation is different as it relates to trafficking but at the root you will often see a broken child who is lost, innocent, looking for love, sustenance and or running from what they experience as, a frying pan into the fire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;This weeks quotes&lt;/span&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt; I chose texts that many faiths are familiar with, the second quote is from the first five books of the Bible are sometimes called the Pentateuch 
which means “five books.” They are also known as the books of the law 
because they contain the laws and instruction given by the Lord through 
Moses to the people of Israel. These books were written by Moses, except
 for the last portion of Deuteronomy because it tells about the death of
 Moses, our text is from the "first" portion of Deut..&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="verse visible"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="vote-buttons invisible"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;
     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
     
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;
     &lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Matthew 18:6
     &lt;span class="note"&gt;
      ESV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt; But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to 
sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened 
around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple; font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Deuteronomy 18:9-13
     &lt;span class="note"&gt;
      ESV&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;“When you come into the land that the &lt;span class="sc"&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt; 
your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable 
practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone 
who burns his son or his daughter as an offering...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="verse visible"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Now I do not believe in our times we do this, but, what are we putting on alters? When an adult rapes a child they are in fact doing the former. We are to LOVE one another and take care of that that was invested in us with open eyes and open hearts. Let's not get it twisted. I'm just saying&lt;/span&gt;...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #999999;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;On this Easter Sunday which represents and celebrates one Jewish Rabbi named Jesus the Christ. Yeshuh! As the crowd shouted Hosanna! which means save us! ... I remember all of the children and women locked in houses of bondage around the world and my heart cries out.&amp;nbsp; I also think of those there are locked up albeit in their MINDS as I once was both and my heart cries out, "Hosanna"! I do realize that in this cry, I am seeking as many of you guidance and strength for the tasks at hand. I know that it is "Finished" shouted Yeshuh before He gave up His spirit unto glory.&amp;nbsp; Thus with the help of God we will do our part here and now to fight, and win this battle in God's strength and His divine and omniscient wisdom!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Thank you for allowing me to share my heart as this is an intrical part of what we do and we who are on the ground cannot let ourselves get weary in well-doing and must find the time to rest. As a matter of fact one of the key aspects of healing from abuse is REST. The quiet time we have to allow God through prayer, cognitive therapy and all of the positive affirmations which begin to rewire our minds/hearts over time begin&amp;nbsp; with resting.&amp;nbsp; It is in resting that we find faith and trust that that which we have worked so hard for and the success of it is found. That in resting, we see it with the eyes of our faith and hope! It does not mean we are sleeping but this kind of rest is a deep and profound knowing...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;SLAVERY AND INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE&lt;br /&gt;
THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT U.S Constitution&lt;br /&gt;
SECTION 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.&lt;br /&gt;
SECTION 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Is there a reason we still allow or do not understand what slavery is and how Human Trafficking in all forms is what we fought to end? I know that many of us know this but we now&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;must be heard as the abolition of it has been underway now we must end it once and for all! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;ABOLITION OF SLAVERY Origin and Purpose&lt;br /&gt;
In 1863, President Lincoln issued an Emancipation Proclamation 1 declaring, based on his war powers, that within named States and parts of States in rebellion against the United States ‘‘all per- sons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free; . . .’’ The Proclamation did not allude to slaves held in the loyalist States, and moreover, there were questions about the Proclamation’s validity. Not only was there doubt concerning the President’s power to issue his order at all, but also there was a general conviction that its effect would not last beyond the restoration of the seceded States to the Union. 2 Because the power of Congress was similarly deemed not to run to legislative extirpation of the ‘‘peculiar institution,’’3 a constitu- tional amendment was then sought; after first failing to muster a two-thirds vote in the House of Representatives, the amendment was forwarded to the States on February 1, 1865, and ratified by the following December 18. 4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Thus, is there a question that the root ills of slavery to begin with were of course wrong. In the same manner not all were in favor, in fact even some that voted for it were forced. Can&amp;nbsp; you imagine?! It was all a short time ago. 150 years and even less then that did women have the right to vote. I realize that there were always those that feel and felt they were higher, better then others for one reason or another, even though all of it is a corrupt long list of debauchery and lies.&amp;nbsp; In addition to fact that we all come from the same core of first human-beings and the God who created them. I am dealing with root issues here, I am also dealing with the fact that when we have a nation that honors one another it is hard for the ills such as trafficking to prevail.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;However, there will always be those that allow themselves to be played and even manipulated by the devil himself. By the root of all bad which is evil and this pedophilia in the form of sex-slavery and other forms of Human-Trafficking of-which sex-slavery has found its way is just the tip of the iceberg of how gross things have become.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;But I do say nothing happens overnight and all ills in society and people are always the process of a journey. I imagine the 600 million dollars paid out by the catholic church for the pedophile rape against young boys which in and of itself is a form of exploitation which falls under the umbrella of the .U.N protocol of human trafficking as well.&amp;nbsp; I dare to say there is no Jesus of mine that would have any part of it, that is the covering up of grave abuses done to others in order to save face. That is what much of Europe calls a worship of men and power without mercy and love. Personally I don't know what to think, I can only go by the fact that justice must prevail and those who ill-fully and willfully violate children and the adults that they will become need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The mere paying of restitution to those violated is only a mere penny of what must needs be.&amp;nbsp; It is the time to be lovingly disruptive in order for truth to prevail. The kind of truth that brings healing to our nation and it's people of which we have learned also brings healing to other nations.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="quoteText" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the  price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what  course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me  death!”   &lt;br /&gt;
―     Patrick Henry &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;AS WE move to stop modern day slavery and press to stop "Back Page" we must also understand that there are even larger company's that benefit beyond the millions in the known or unknown support of Human-Trafficking and the GOOGLE that we know and love is one of them.&amp;nbsp; This is a partial letter from a member of congress...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
"Whatever Google is doing or is not doing to prevent these sorts of advertisements&lt;br /&gt;
from appearing on their properties. Google has not satisfied a significant number of human rights organizations who have a specialized understanding of how these ads contribute to the human trafficking of women and girls. We are particularly concerned that these human rights groups may have identified yet another area where Google profits from illicit activities such as Google's advertising of controlled substances for which your company a $500,000,000 (billion) forfeiture to the United States last year." &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="quoteText"&gt;
“Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have  removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people  that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be  violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I  reflect that God is just: that his justice can not sleep forever: that  considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the  wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation is among possible events:  that it may become probable by supernatural interference!”   &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
I am in the process of writing and almost done with my book and with  running the Above The Noise Life Discovery Plan, the outreach and so  much else it is difficult to find the time to write this bi-weekly  motivator. Yet, I am impelled to do so, even without the financial  support, even now in the midst of needing a new computer for my 7 year  old MAC is on its last legs and I have had to strip it just to use it.  Some people want to help but find it hard to volunteer or even give 25  dollars&amp;nbsp; or something toward any 501c3 especially those ran by former  victims, odd don't you think? Those of us who could have so easily been  dead and very close to it many a time. There is so much that happens  during the outreach and the private hotline for victims and the public  one, the taxes filed by accountants and the incredible need to hire at  least one full time staff person and people say I want to help but  housing etc is being closed or shut down when there are not enough to  begin with.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
All of the calls and emails that come  through of those needing help and not enough volunteering to assist in  writing's grants and the likes. Listen, we really do need your help and  that is in anyway you can. The drop in center needs books, and tools,  gift cards for personal items, sponsored field trips, sponsored  workshops, sponsored classes of various kinds from computer to cooking,  to the heart of starting your own business to therapy sessions and  various cognitive learning tools and books to so much that we would  appreciate it.&amp;nbsp; So far,&amp;nbsp; all that I do has been funded 80% by myself and  my husband thank God! But now there is need to hire full time director  of operations and so much more. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;What do we see when we look at the beauty of children?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; The innocence unrelenting and often obscure of it's own truth. Sometimes lost in the age of growing up to quickly by the sheer force of everyone around them being too busy to stop and recognize what is being lost?&amp;nbsp; Too busy growing, too busy building, too busy to answer a call, or spend a few hours per day with our own children, or someone else' by being a healthy mentor or big sister or brother. I feel so hopeful and yet so sad, bewildered when I think of the sheer evil and the steps to it's worldwide success, lest we forget that rape, trafficking, pedophilia are a billion dollar greedy sick greasy money industry with its roots surely lodged in dark places . Surely God in all of His glory has given us the answer... Have we hearkened, are we listening?Nothing in life is sudden.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-1"&gt;&lt;span class="chapternum"&gt;"13&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-2" id="en-NKJV-28668"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;2&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;And though I have &lt;i&gt;the gift of&lt;/i&gt;
 prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I 
have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I 
am nothing. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-3" id="en-NKJV-28669"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;3&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;And though I bestow all my goods to feed &lt;i&gt;the poor,&lt;/i&gt; and though I give my body to be burned,&lt;sup class="footnote" value="[&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;#fen-NKJV-28669a&amp;quot; title=&amp;quot;See footnote a&amp;quot;&amp;gt;a&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;]"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2013&amp;amp;version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-28669a" title="See footnote a"&gt;a&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; but have not love, it profits me nothing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-4" id="en-NKJV-28670"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;4&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;Love suffers long &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-5" id="en-NKJV-28671"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;5&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-6" id="en-NKJV-28672"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;6&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-7" id="en-NKJV-28673"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;7&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-8" id="en-NKJV-28674"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;8&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;Love never fails. But whether &lt;i&gt;there are&lt;/i&gt; prophecies, they will fail; whether &lt;i&gt;there are&lt;/i&gt; tongues, they will cease; whether &lt;i&gt;there is&lt;/i&gt; knowledge, it will vanish away. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-9" id="en-NKJV-28675"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;9&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;For we know in part and we prophesy in part. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-10" id="en-NKJV-28676"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;10&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-11" id="en-NKJV-28677"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;11&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;When
 I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought 
as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-12" id="en-NKJV-28678"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;12&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span class="text 1Cor-13-13" id="en-NKJV-28679"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;13&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;but the greatest of these &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;ove..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I a&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;m speaking of men. In my book, "To Soar Without Leaving The Ground" I have a poem entitled "Fathers&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;" and in the poem I speak &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;a&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;bout &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;the f&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;act that a woman could ha&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;ve the most &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;sophisticated&lt;/span&gt; al&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;arm &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;system&lt;/span&gt; known to hu&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;man-kind &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;with bells and whistles to boot. But in no wise would it compa&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;re, "to a father that is there..." And cool&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; enough, when a man is being who God created him to be, all he has to do is walk through the door! He just has to try...

Th&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;en,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;when they got to be fat&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;hers, they had an inkling of how to help raise them.

In this scene "Emilia", the attendant to her mistress "Desdemona" speaks about the nature of some men, but as well as their unknown power to realize that - that,&amp;nbsp; that we do sometimes, has been set by a pace that men have put in motion. Emilia says the first line in a few lines before but I placed it here to add more of that conversation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emi&lt;i&gt;lia&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Why should he call her whore? who keeps her company? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Yes, a dozen; and as many to the vantage as would &lt;br /&gt;
store the world they played for. &lt;br /&gt;
But I do think it is their husbands' faults &lt;br /&gt;
If wives do fall: say that they slack their duties,  &lt;br /&gt;
And pour our treasures into foreign laps, &lt;br /&gt;
Or else break out in peevish jealousies, &lt;br /&gt;
Throwing restraint upon us; or say they strike us, &lt;br /&gt;
Or scant our former having in despite; &lt;br /&gt;
Why, we have galls, and though we have some grace, &lt;span class="playlinenum"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Yet have we some revenge. Let husbands know &lt;br /&gt;
Their wives have sense like them: they see and smell &lt;br /&gt;
And have their palates both for sweet and sour, &lt;br /&gt;
As husbands have. What is it that they do &lt;br /&gt;
When they change us for others? Is it sport? &lt;span class="playlinenum"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I think it is: and doth affection breed it? &lt;br /&gt;
I think it doth: is't frailty that thus errs? &lt;br /&gt;
It is so too: and have not we affections, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Desires for sport, and frailty, as men have? &lt;br /&gt;
Then let them use us well: else let them know, &lt;span class="playlinenum"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The ills we do, their ills instruct us so."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;For you who have read this and have fought to reach out to me and to read when your life was compromised, please reach, keep reaching out when you can. For those of&amp;nbsp; you locked in situations that have gotten a hold of me - thank you for counting me worthy enough to steer you in the right direction. Don't forget, if you need something you reach out and a network of us will move forward. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is how do you say, not always fearless &lt;i&gt;enough&lt;/i&gt; to with eagle-eyed vision reach the depths in earnest, of the truth that lies beneath and take the "bull by the horn" and expose it for what it is and than have it for dinner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I speak with some all of the time that don't necessarily realize that there are boundaries in life that when not honored will cause very nations to crumble. What I'm saying is without us coming together to fight for a moral compass that we can clearly agree on as it relates to these grave crimes against humanity, humans, people, children, women, little girls, little boys, men in prison,&amp;nbsp; little basketball players in school,&amp;nbsp; sisters, mothers, brothers, fathers and so on we won't fully express loudly and clearly enough to bring justice to justice and life to the emotional and world death, that these profound violations bring to us and the future posterity of those who will live there.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Slavery was wrong then, and it is wrong now. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Modern-Day Slavery is Real. And it is not simply a thing, a cancer in the hearts and lives of societies,&amp;nbsp; that can be annihilated with every beat of the drums of compassion we have&lt;span id="hotword"&gt;, without first getting to the source of it's constitution by the communicable discovery of what it is.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; We must dig it up at the core.&amp;nbsp; And then bring it to a hopeful ruin in the fires of yesterday. We need to be honest about it's causes and no longer turn our cheek. What am I saying exactly, I am ready to kick the tail out of this hellish sickness back to wherever it came and if a few heads have to roll, then so be it because they will roll right through the justice system which we must fight to make stronger.&amp;nbsp; Our children, our girls and boys, our sisters, our brothers, our mothers and our fathers deserve it. We deserve to live free from this, don't you agree? It is time to change policy and fast and furiously. It is time to see children whole and women free. We must grab them out of the caves of darkness they are hidden in and off the urban and country streets they are lost on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Week's Quote: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, 
and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody 
ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best 
place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed 
and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And 
ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I 
could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have 
borne five children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I 
cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a
 woman         &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="endquote"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="endquote"&gt;
28&lt;span class="text Isa-40-28" id="en-CJB-10918"&gt;Haven’t you known, haven’t you heard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-28"&gt;that the everlasting God, &lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Adonai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-28"&gt;the Creator of the ends of the earth,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-28"&gt;does not grow tired or weary?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-28"&gt;His understanding cannot be fathomed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="endquote"&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-29" id="en-CJB-10919"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;29&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;He invigorates the exhausted,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-29"&gt;he gives strength to the powerless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="endquote"&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-30" id="en-CJB-10920"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;30&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;Young men may grow tired and weary,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-30"&gt;even the fittest may stumble and fall;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="endquote"&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-31" id="en-CJB-10921"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum"&gt;31&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;but those who hope in &lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Adonai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; will renew their strength,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-31"&gt;they will soar aloft as with eagles’ wings;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-31"&gt;when they are running they won’t grow weary,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text Isa-40-31"&gt;when they are walking they won’t get tired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="text Isa-40-31"&gt;We Can!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"SURVIVOR" (2012)&lt;br /&gt;
A Documentary made to share with others that survivors once free,&amp;nbsp;  have a right to pursue destiny and dreams. And it has taken me time to  even get to this place in the sun where I am whole and I also desire to  be a blessing in the lives of other victims and survivors with the  God-given goals and gifts that He gives us.&amp;nbsp; It was also made to raise  funds for the Above The Noise Life Discovery Program which is underway  which is supported by Courtney's House and The Rebecca Project for Human  Rights, along with The International Black Women's Public Policy  Institute. A film made to show other survivors that when we reach back  before the point of impact there were dreams there. Hopes. Perhaps we  wanted to, or desire to be a doctor, a lawyer,&amp;nbsp; a scientist, a musician,  even as a child... The joy of of life are dreams and their fulfillment,  especially when they touch the lives of others and when we pursue ours&amp;nbsp;  - we live.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Many   thanks to someone I love greatly Dr. Beverly Bam Crawford who recently   ordained me in Los Angeles, CA&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;There is noway to live a life of freedom and understand how to free others without first recognizing that we are all created equal and always were.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The statistical data of why the psychological healing of victims of human-trafficking is often stunted, is sometimes due to discrimination... With that said -&amp;nbsp; it is in fact true that we never truly look into our own eyes,&amp;nbsp; or our own faces,&lt;i&gt; so why do we discriminate, a myriad of reasons I'm sure&lt;/i&gt;? The most we can ever see with our eyes of &lt;i&gt;ourselves&lt;/i&gt; is a reflection. A mirror image, a photo. The most we see ourselves is through the eyes of others. Because it is only others that can see us with their bare eyes. Incredible when you think about it. So how do most look at women who are let's say 25, addicted to drugs, selling their body for some pimp, foul, drunk perhaps, unclean at times, foul mouthed? Do we consider that she is brokenhearted, that she got there at 12 years old. Or 10? Maybe she or he began being raped or molested by a family member at 5 or 6 or 7 or 12? How do most view that person? Through the eyes of Love and empathetic understanding or something else?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In the onsite of life and healing it is only Love that wins. Love can only be defined by that which is given without fear. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a quandary to be on the end of a life in which I had to experience what I did and know that the answer to healing above all else is love in action when some are still thinking that the answer may lay elsewhere.&amp;nbsp; Love means going to the root of the problem and issues of this abuse; vile human trafficking crippled by the grave fact that it is a human rights issue related to the existence of the evil side of mankind.&amp;nbsp; The polar opposite of Love. And only acknowledging that there must be some root causes and reasons as to why, rape, pedophilia, mental illness, murder, and the likes is far worse than it was 20 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outside of murdering someone physically -&amp;nbsp; is the murder of the soul of a person. "Soul-assassination" and that is what this is.&amp;nbsp; Root causes and steps to solutions - how about that fact that the flesh and evil side of man-kind must be quelled by the loving side of man-kind. Balance is only found in knowing this and by knowing God created earth for us to live a life of joy and the balance of what that means which is always centered around honor, wisdom, understanding and of course there's that action again -&amp;nbsp; Love. The ability to care for one another and our planet by the honest truth of the boundaries, and moral compass it takes to understand that the mere playing with fire will cause someone to get burned - sooner or later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If models sale sexuality in an alluring way from 16 years old and up it is hard to let the world know that sex with a minor is rape. They may know in theory but the carnal mind and the spiritual side of man are different and this is a war of good and bad that has gone on for centuries as what the eyes see and how the brain and heart interpret that is different for everybody. If those who are addicted to pornography think that the images of all of the females they see online are all adults on so called adult sites (18 and up) then they are either lying to themselves or are guilty of ignorance and these days&amp;nbsp; - as in the current day of mass information this would be a hard alibi to even consider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a model is dressed in a panties and bra with sexual movements on an average TV commercial after&amp;nbsp; an 8 o'clock showing of any given prime-time show, just to sale panties and bras and if we think as a nation that that is going to in fact create the balance of boundaries needed for a healthy sexual life as it relates to pop-culture, socio-anthropological knowledge of how we develop as people and the gateway to our souls (our eyes) then we might need to rethink whats fun, cool and safe and what might be playing with a little too much fire.&amp;nbsp; In a recent blog I wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"The ole' saying "if you give someone and inch - they'll take a mile" is  what has happened in our inability to realize that the open doors above  has in part lead so far down the rabbit hole those seemingly adult acts  above are not enough anymore. Like an addict after the first hit - they  can never get as high again so they have to go further down the rabbit hole to find another trick and pretty soon you are in utter darkness so  far from the surface of light it's hard to find your way out and most  probably don't try and here in lies human-trafficking because the spirit  of greed will always find away to capitalize on transgressions and  guilt."&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;     &lt;br /&gt;
Our brains are not finished developing until we are 24 years old.&amp;nbsp; And our developing commercialized marketing and entertainment to the masses have been drastically changing with each passing decade - not blatantly but in media ads and the likes it is being said all around us that the sexier you are the better you are and the more you will have in life. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with being sexy and gorgeous but elegance is a matter of taste and when the taste goes out at the expense of young minds being able to mature in a way that give them opportunity to grow with grace then we have maybe put too much thought into the bottom line, instead of our posterity (no pun intended). Think about it,&amp;nbsp; that is like pretending that violent video games do not induce violence&amp;nbsp; in children.&amp;nbsp; So how do we look at a 25 year old now. What do our eyes see? Better yet, what will we allow our eyes to see and how will we interpret that which we view - through our own concept of love, or the masses, or will we reach to a higher road, seemingly lost from time to time here of late and challenge ourselves with that angelic-inspired Love that we might remember on the sweet face of the greatest grand-mama that we ever knew.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"SURVIVOR" (2012) &lt;br /&gt;
A Documentary made to share with others that survivors once free,&amp;nbsp; have a right to pursue destiny and dreams. And it has taken me time to even get to this place in the sun where I am whole and I also desire to be a blessing in the lives of other victims and survivors with the God-given goals and gifts that He gives us.&amp;nbsp; It was also made to raise funds for the Above The Noise Life Discovery Program which is underway which is supported by Courtney's House and The Rebecca Project for Human Rights, along with The International Black Women's Public Policy Institute. A film made to show other survivors that when we reach back before the point of impact there were dreams there. Hopes. Perhaps we wanted to, or desire to be a doctor, a lawyer,&amp;nbsp; a scientist, a musician, even as a child... The joy of of life are dreams and their fulfillment, especially when they touch the lives of others and when we pursue ours&amp;nbsp; - we live.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am thankful to our new corporate attorneys. Our  part-time drop-in service coming soon the outreach in Florida is done with the help of my friends from Courtney's House. In addition to our  collaboration with the Rebecca Project for Human Rights and of course  the film tour with The International Black Women's Public Policy  Institute and my mentor Barbara Perkins.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Look  for my new book coming soon which I am so excited to share my life's  journey in ways that I never have&amp;nbsp; and it is meant to inspire us and  also the unveiling of my already published book of poetry "To Soar  Without Leaving he Ground" which will I will now make affordable in  Ibook form and free to those who cannot afford it at the moment. Many  thanks to someone I love greatly Dr. Beverly Bam Crawford who recently  ordained me in Los Angeles, CA&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st"&gt;I remember times in the child sex slavery that I suffered where I wanted to die and thought of it often and it was then that my imagination and the God-given ability to step into another realm saved me. It was then when catapulting myself to another existence through the human ability to dream was realized all the more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st"&gt;It is this ability of the mind to transform itself that must be utilized in our healing. Going from a brothel experience and repeated rape,&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;to a future that has purpose, destiny and freedom is what calls us&lt;/i&gt;. It is the survivor that will be the expert in the lives of those that need rescuing now and their road to life discoveries and wholeness that requires us to fight our way out of darkness.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st"&gt;It was from a place like this that I wrote this poem and I would like to share a short portion with you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;Taken from my book of poetry "To Soar Without Leaving The Ground" an excerpt from the poem The Miracles of Life."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st"&gt;"The miracles of life are as such that as for today I walk. I rose and life filled my legs. I could have cried because of chaos yet I rose because of life, I live to learn and grow, perfection is for God but in Him I am whole. I could have cried becasue I didn't get the job, but someone told me that divine delay is a blessing in disguise. Morning came and my eyes were open, I can see I thought and surely this cannot be bought. I sat in silence as I watched the animal of the tree, blue, yellow, and green... I saw joy and it spilled over in my heart, just sitting there waiting to catch me off guard and you know what he said? Smile, be joyous, don't fight this thing for my joy is your strength and strength is your time, time to live time to see, time to move until the move of you moves them and all you hope for comes to be..... (skipping to end of poem)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You will find them in your joy, la milagros de vida, the miracles of life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;Author Terrie Williams didn't share her pain and this is some of her story. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;"...Yet she was in constant pain, waking up in terror, overeating in  search of relief. For thirty years she kept on her game face of success,  exhausting herself daily to satisfy her clients' needs while neglecting  her own.&lt;/span&gt; Terrie finally collapsed, staying in bed for  days. She had no clue what was wrong or if there was a way out. She had  hit rock bottom and she needed and got help. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She learned  her problem had a name -- depression -- and that many suffered from it,  limping through their days, hiding their hurt. As she healed, her  mission became clear: break the silence of this crippling taboo and help  those who suffer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;No one can be you and no one will ever really understand what you have gone through and how it has effected your soul. But we must never let that stop us or cause us pain. "Guard your heart for out of it flow the issues of life." Search within it (your heart) and protect it. Most people will never understand except those of us who have gone through such violent abuse. Even in that we are all different and so are the various events surrounding what we survived. In addition, to how it has changed the original plans for our lives for a time. We are also effected on many different levels based on our personalities, gifting and the psychology of who we were and are now.&amp;nbsp; But the important aspect of it all is that we're still here and there are those of us who understand and so with this I say,&amp;nbsp; you are not alone. You are important, powerful, beautiful, needed, admired, warrior giant-slayers, amazing individuals that can now do things that no one else has ever dreamed of.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;b&gt;This weeks quote &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="st"&gt;It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself  which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="endquote"&gt;
-Maya Angelou&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ms. Angelou, shares a profound statement, that is to say,&amp;nbsp; "The Unknowable" this is the deepest form that we can reach in possibilities in life. At the same time it's simple as it replies to our individual areas of &lt;i&gt;not knowing&lt;/i&gt; what is truly possible in our own lives, even when we seem at times&amp;nbsp; - in hell, in a trafficked situation,&amp;nbsp; in a bondage situation, or emotionally crippled by/from such.&amp;nbsp; But as she writes "believing in a power larger than myself." How - can I say this to all... With God all things are possible. And we are made with extraordinary power when we operate knowing this.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;I pray this be the most amazing and happiest time of your life. I also pray for those still kidnapped, captured and lost. I know we have our work cut out for us but I know we will be victorious. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;HAPPY NEW YEAR!&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;DON'T FEEL LIKE READING TODAY&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; - &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Be Read &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;To.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Coming out of Anguish does not have to be a secret when we embrace the truth of where we've been and where we know by Faith we are going.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It is a bit of a quandary to be dressed for where you are going and desire to go in life and be doubled over, crouched in a corner, chair, sofa or elsewhere with a secret anguish that comes in like a ton of bricks and tries to tell you that you are not worthy. Thoughts of suicide, getting high, running away again&amp;nbsp; - and again - and again... Screech... @##^$^%..... No way. (p.s I was not cursing but simply speaking with passion).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are we worthy to be counted amongst the accomplished, successful beautiful people? But who determines beauty and who determines success? This my survivor friends is the question. Is it the media mogul of entertainment of the gross national product of whatever - and the way that men (and we've allowed it) say what is pretty and what is not, what is virginal and what is not, what is success and what is not?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had to let the anguish go! But I am unafraid to say that it was God and my faith that is the biggest part of my healing. The cognitive therapy was also needed and sometimes still is - it is an exceptional counsel in boundaries that we once sexually violate victimized children did not learn because we were learning that we were worth nothing, good for nothing, throwaway, soul assassinated sex toys in our little baby virginal wombs ranging these days from 3 years old and up - not to mention all of the boy anal cavities that are also pillaged and raped from an average age of 5 and up for the &lt;i&gt;soul &lt;/i&gt;(not a type o) purpose of the sick pleasure of a pedophile beast disguised as a man in a suit and tie, often with a family photo in his wallet and a college ring on his finger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look, we cannot tow the line if we are to heal the world of Modern Day Slavery. We can act like the degradation of women and now children is okay. You see, behind the scenes it may look like women on the surface but after the years of playing soft porn, pornography, sliding down poles with the cracks of once innocent butts in the air, legalized prostitution, and the notion that we in our society called it teenage prostitution ever is ridiculousness, do no let me get started with the hiring of such in Vegas, Dubai, Atlanta, Los Angeles, for bachelor parties and whatever rave, raves. And really, even adult women who are scared into saying yes were often once lost broken children who grew up into this by the designs of the perpetrators that formed them. Not to mention, in the fifties men like full figured around, now its so skinny and child like... Yet we have played into this ugly game when the most beautiful people on the planet will always be those that know and love who they are authentically. See, love and truth, trump craziness any day of the week or it should. "The ole' saying "if you give someone and inch - they'll take a mile" is
  what has happened in our inability to realize that the open doors 
above  has in part lead so far down the rabbit hole those seemingly 
adult acts  above are not enough anymore. Like an addict after the first
 hit - they  can never get as high again so they have to go further down
 the rabbit hole to find another trick and pretty soon you are in utter 
darkness so  far from the surface of light it's hard to find your way 
out and most  probably don't try and here in lies human-trafficking 
because the spirit  of greed will always find away to capitalize on 
transgressions and  guilt."&lt;br /&gt;

Listen to your heart and let go of all anger and fear. There is no comparison with your abilities and spiritual gifting to another as the beauty in an exotic flower cannot be matched with the next because they all have a unique and needed place in the garden.&lt;br /&gt;

He doesn’t recognize that the [creation] of a half woman has 
contributed to his repressed anger and frustration of feeling he is not 
enough. He then may love no woman or keep many half women as his prize. He doesn’t recognize that it’s his submersion in the imbalanced 
warrior culture, where violence is the means of getting respect and 
power, as the reason he can break the face of the woman who bore him 
four children. When woman is lost, so is man. The truth is, woman is the window to a man’s heart and a man’s heart is the gateway to his soul.&lt;br /&gt;
