Child trafficking

Child trafficking isn't just something that you see on t.v. or in the movies it is a real life crime. My eyes were open this weekend to the very real problem of child trafficking. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was astonished to hear that it was even a problem for the united states. This isn't something that you think could be happening in your own back yard. Tears were streaming down my face as they told the stories of young girls and boys who were taken from their home and sold into a world of sexual enslavement. Even now as I write I start to tear up.  am very inflicted by this. It is a true tragedy. Kids are so Innocent and free and should never have to feel the pain of a sexual predator or being ripped from their homes. Well now there is a national walk going on to raise awareness and money to fight this in justice. I am taking part in this walk on Sept. 27 to help open the eyes of people so they can help with this problem. If you would like to help with this on going problem not just here in our country but to fight it across the world. If this pulls on your heart like it has mine you can donate money to this cause by going to my support page every little bit helps. Your money will be going to put military operatives in the field to go after the sexual predators and to free these children from this life. This is something that my heart is crying for and I know that we can make a difference and win this fight. Please help me to raise some money for this orginazation. If you would like to read more about the work that SCTnow does you can go to their web-site http://sctnow.org/ and read all about it. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and to help support the fight against this horrible thing that is happening all over the world child trafficking is real and we can do something about it. Have a blessed week.

that time of year again

We all know what today is and what happen 8 short years ago. It is so hard for me to believe that 8 years have come and gone. I think back to that tragic day and tears come to my eyes, I know we all remember what we were doing when as we watched in horror at what was happening to our beloved nation. Where we were at every detail, somethings you never forget. In this case you shouldn't, remember how our nation came together in support, remember what we stand for and why we fight for these things. No one is the world deserves to dye like that. Put your political views to the side and you beliefs about peace and remember. I just feel like many of us have forgotten what happened to our country and have heard very little from the people that I interact with on a daily basis. I really thought people would of made a bigger deal out of it. I also seen very little on the Internet, This makes me so sad. When I think of that tragic day tears still come to my eyes. I think about all the families who lost someone and all people who are still hurting. I think about our nation and how our security was ripped from us. I do feel safer 8 years after the fact but there is always a tiny thought that it could happen again if we forget. I know many people disagree with the wars but in my mind I feel taking the battle to the terrorist was the best thing to protect our country and our lies not to mention the lives of many Innocent people around the world. Alot of people that I know that disagree with the war have sacrificed nothing. They hardly support our troops most less know anyone on serving in our military. It has been a struggle for my family as we are a military family. Long times away from one another and days go by where we do nothing but worry for them. In the end I say it is worth the cost of freedom and safety. Please remember this day not for the death that was caused but for the awakening in America, The time when we all came together to morn and to rebuild. When we all wore our flags proud, and stood up against evil to better our world, when we all believed freedom was worth fighting for. Thanks for listening to my rant. God bless America

staying positive

Staying positive in such negative world is a hard thing to accomplish but it must be done to succeed. Everywhere you look you can find negative things it is almost hard not to. Watching t.v. reading the news papers, talking to friends or family. Why is it so easy to find these negative things. I think it because negativity is like a cold that is spread so easily. one person empties it out on to another and there the chain is born. You can break it though and choose to see the greatness of positive thinking.
It is true work to be positive and not let negativity in. I think it isn't so much about blocking the negatives out but more about flipping them into a positive.
Taking a bad situations and finding a good perspective on it isn't always easy we lazy by default. We want things to come to us naturally, and when we are in a bad situation we see that bad. It is sticking out like sore thumb. You have to open up your mind and get it working to see the good. Believe me there is good to be seen in all situations. Your tired busted, you didn't have jack and you were on the side of the road for an hour your whole day was ruined. Or Your tire bused and a complete stranger changed it for free and it only took any hour of your time. I really could go on all day with situations that can be turned into a more positive situation. The thing I am getting at is if you start looking for something positive in everything you do, you will be happier and everything will follow suit.
You will start to notice that everything around you it brighter, nicer, more fun and all around better. It is true that we see what we are looking for. Too many times have I heard This statement "nothing good ever happens to me" Of coarse with that attitude nothing good is going to happen. You have to be looking up and expecting good things for good things to happen. Then when something happens you will see the good in it because you were looking for it. If you wake up in the morning and say today is going to be a bad day, you know today is going to be a bad day. You know why...because you are looking for a bad day. ( I know no one really is looking for a bad day) But attitude is the key to happiness and success, among many other things.
A positive attitude can go far paired up with strong realistic goals, you could really do anything that your heart desired. Try it for a week ban the negativity out of you life. Every time you start thinking that way ask you self where is the good in this and you will find it. Then focus on it and taking with you. I know you are all going to have a great week.
