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

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.

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

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.

Giving opens up avenues for abundance.

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.

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!
