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.

Maybe getting more isn't the answer to life. Maybe it's giving.

Here in the United States, we're consumed by our love of money and status. We think bigger is better, and if we can just get that promotion, all will be well with our souls. There's one fatal flaw to this mindset: it's all smoke and mirrors.

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.

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!

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

There's something profoundly liberating about giving, yet we don't do it often enough. It begs the question: why not? For some of us, our demanding schedules overtake our time to volunteer. For others, our fear of economic instability manifests a mindset dominated by pernicious lies like, "You can't afford to give" and "If you give, you won't have enough". However, truth of the matter is we simply cannot afford to not give back!
