REINVENT LOVE.

I don't know if any of you like mysteries, but I live to follow Wentz's clues! You know in the movies, and in real life as well, where they take those two metal plates with handles and jumpstart someone's heart? I feel like that was just done to me. It's all happening again and I'm game!

I don't need to sit here and give the excuses for my lack of blogging bc frankly The One Love has taken over my life, from the backend. We have a great team of TOLers that work here at our office in Nashville and we have so many great things coming up!

Have you volunteered this month? I woke up 2 weeks ago at 3am to serve breakfast at the Nashville Rescue Mission and was overwhelmed with the whole experience. The Mission is completely self-funded and has a really great program to get people off the street and back on their feet. I could go on and on all day about things I learned there. If you'd like to hear more or have any questions or want ideas for volunteering in YOUR AREA email me at theoneloverocks@gmail.com

I'll be heading over to a Make A Wish softball tournament next weekend to work at the concession stand, where all proceeds will be going toward making wishes come true!!

Last month I was invited to attend a benefit concert for Natalie Grant's charity The Home Foundation. Just like charities that we have worked with in the past, Stop the Traffik and International Sanctuary, The Home Foundation is fighting against Human Trafficking! We have heard the stories and seen the movies of human trafficking victims in Asia and other countries across the world, but are you even AWARE that this awful underground business is prospering right here in America!? Honestly, I was not fully aware of this problem until attending this show.

I learned that in my suburban neighborhood where soccer moms are the majority of shoppers in the local grocery store that a sex trafficking brothel that housed over a dozen girls under the age of 15 was broken up this just months ago! Not only was I disgusted by this news, but I left the theatre angry at my entire community. Not only could I loathe the people who were running this operation, but WHO in my community was giving them business? I couldn't look a single person I passed in the aisle grocery shopping or in line at Starbucks in the eye for days. It's pretty obvious that I've looked these monstrous sex offenders in the eye more times than I could imagine. They are living right here in my community! I was absolutely shocked, but honestly what good is giving people dirty looks going to do? Now, I'm taking action and doing my research, making donations and I look forward to using The One Love to help with this organizations efforts in the near future!

Did you know that there are 325,000 young people involved in sex slavery in the United States? It's great to read about shelters like The Somaly Mam Foundation which The Click Five visited in Cambodia! Yet, did you know that although sex trafficking is a problem in this country that for children rescued from the trade there are only FOURTY EIGHT AVAILABLE BEDS!?!?!? Where do you suggest we put the other 324,952 children that may be rescued? This is where The Home Foundation comes in. Not only are they working to build and maintain shelters in Mumbai and Moldova, but they are beginning a movement in Nashville, where they are headquartered as well.

If you can't give money, please educate yourself on this awful trade and make everyone you know aware. It's horrific that things like this are hidden from us, so they go on unsuspectingly and nothing changes. Make this problem known and make a difference!
