Does human trafficking happen in America? Absolutely.

What is human trafficking? It presents itself in several subgenres.  They are generally, sex trade, slave labor, child labor, and orphan trafficking.  Sex trade is a form of human trafficking where small to large organizations regularly and abusively hold in fear young women or in some cases young men who are forced into having paid sexual relations. The victims of the sex trade are usually very young and are runaways or have been taken from or even sold by their families.  They are driven by fear and threats to comply with those who cannot be called anything other than “captors.”  Sex trade happens worldwide, including inside the United States.

This article does not allow for the time and space needed to share all of the innovations and inspired work that these human rights activists are doing. I would ask you to go to the trust conference website and learn for yourself (www.trustconference.com) in order to discover the heroic efforts being done for our global community. You may ask what is it that you can do? Remember to think globally and act locally. And if you are unsure of the level of contribution that you might be able to make, remember a mosquito can bring down a 200 lb man. You and your voice matter. I share this with you because without this knowledge and awareness we would not have the ability to enact positive change. For it is said, “Once you are aware, you are responsible for your action and your inaction.”

It was like giving a child only 10 minutes in the world's’ largest candy store.

Many years ago when I was in the process of separating from and divorcing my former husband, I was very much in tune with the feelings of our entire family, his and mine. In particular, my English mother-in-law, who feared she would be estranged from her two granddaughters as we lived in California and her in England.

An experience is had. A seed of belief gets planted as a result of this experience.  What does the seed intend to grow into?  Love? Fear? Anger? Compassion? We often have no control over how the seed germinates itself into a pattern or set of patterns of beliefs which course through our DNA and cellular memory and become a part of us.

Fears’ counterpart is Love. When we navigate from fear to love, we live a life without limits. We expand, breathe, move forward, have passion and excitement.  We are alive and thriving to our greatest and highest potential. It doesn’t mean we don’t experience fear from time to time. But living a life with love means when fear does crop up, we navigate it with wisdom and faith.
