If ever there was a proverbial truth, it's the more you give, the more you get. Give and start experiencing a life of fulfillment!

Human trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings, mainly for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. In short, it's modern day slavery.

In fact, there are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in human history, with an estimated 27 million in bondage across the globe.

When we give of ourselves, our time, and our money, we're also giving up control. As a control freak myself, I know that sounds scary, but I've learned that the momentary lack of control forces me to look at what I do have and truly count my blessings. I have clean drinking water. I have food on my table. I have a roof over my head and clothes on my back. Suddenly, my panic-stricken mindset is replaced with gratitude.

I beseech you to open your hearts and give back! Give your time/services/money/support/encouragement/love! Give whatever you can!

If ever there was a proverbial truth, it's the more you give, the more you get. Give and start experiencing a life of fulfillment!

Gratitude not only encourages our hearts, it produces peace. And we could all use a little more peace these days.
