		<description><![CDATA[Imagine being a young girl of 11 in a small Mexican village.  Since you were three years old, you have faced the night knowing that your stepfather probably will molest you  – and maybe not only once. He often returns multiple times. As that 11-year-old girl, the terror of expecting another night in agony and physical pain is overwhelming. Thoughts of ending your life follow every encounter you spend in the hellish isolation of betrayal and exploitation. You finally get the courage to talk with your 17-year-old cousin who lives two houses from you. He tells you that he might be able to help, but it will take time. Your hopes rise! Perhaps there is a way out of the nightly misery that defines your life.

Some time passes, and finally your older cousin offers to take you to the big city to a family that will pay you to clean, cook and watch after their small children. You jump at the chance, and in a few days, you are on your way. At last, you think, you will be free from your never-ending nightmare! You will be safe.

It doesn’t take long, however, to realize that you are not safe. When you arrive, instead of the work and freedom you expect, you are drugged, mass raped and physically beaten… and trafficked. Within a few days, you are piled in the back of a tightly tarped farm truck with 20 other young girls and taken across the border to California. (Only much later do you find out where you are taken.) You are given to another set of “handlers,” and again raped and physically assaulted to reinforce their power and control over you.

Within 24 hours, you find yourself at a “station,” which is a small tent that has been erected in a field being worked by migrant farm workers. Your handlers collect money while you stay on your back “servicing” perhaps 20 or more farm workers a day. You are hot, starving, nude and dirty. You get enough water and food to stay alive, and you plead for drugs to numb the pain.

This is one young girl’s story. In the world of sexual exploitation and trafficking, there are thousands more. The situations vary, but the destruction of the children’s fragile bodies and minds, and the desecration to their spirits are the same.  If these youngsters live to adulthood, they likely have suffered serious physical internal, head, and skeletal injuries.  They experience a significantly higher rate of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis and permanent damage to their reproductive systems.  They are far more likely to have suicidal tendencies and suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, clinical depression, and personality and dissociative disorders. When their usefulness is used up, they usually are discarded to live in fear, poverty, degradation and humiliation. Human trafficking...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If we heroes are going to positively impact humanity, we have to consider that perhaps it might be time for “Common Sense” to give way to its first cousin, “Good Sense,” who has been waiting patiently in the wings.

At whatever station we inhabit as a hero – the US of us (diaBLOGue V), the Firestarter (diaBLOGue III), and/or the Hero-At-Large (diaBLOGue II), it will serve us to make the distinction between Common Sense and Good Sense. For most in mass consciousness, these Sense cousins are the same, but for the diaBLOGue hero, there is an important subtle difference.y]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m Changing the World… Are You?

Welcome to Joyful Orange’s new Agent of Joy Project! Are you ready to Change the World?

We are suggesting that you, as Changers of the World, commit to a period of time each week (1-2-3 or + hours) to be of service.

Why?

Because it will absolutely change our world! The job is far too great for one person to take on, but it is doable when we all pitch in. A common purpose that is committed to and acted upon builds exponential power. Do you want to know why drug trafficking, human trafficking, McDonalds-like companies are so powerful? Many individuals are lending their attention, talents and actions to single profit-making common purposes and elicit many unsuspecting individuals to feed into their profit-related causes. Let’s use the energy dynamic that works and consciously begin to turn our reality around. There is nothing more powerful than kindness and service to others.

		<description><![CDATA[In previous diaBLOGue’s, we talked about outstanding individuals, or authentic heroes, who step out of the limiting boundaries of mass consciousness to bring back knowledge, wisdom and action that will help humanity and do what is necessary to grow and evolve. These heroes have the courage and presence of self to take risks,often acting alone to benefit others. I would like to introduce another heroic group - those of us who comprise the US of us. These individuals could be the most courageous of all. Who makes up this group? Those of US who actively and consciously participate in humanity as one of humanity. We listen to the messages of the heroes. From these we learn, contemplate, evaluate, discern, act, and grow our knowledge and wisdom. By doing all of these things, we elevate our families, cultures and world.

		<description><![CDATA[by: Phyllis Hampton December 20, 2009 What is the hero’s greatest tool? It is objectivity. Perhaps you might instead have guessed the answer was compassion, caring, righteous anger, or some other propelling state of heart or mind. These conditions are necessary in order to initiate into the action step of a hero’s journey, but they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this diaBLOGue, we look at arguably the most visible hero, The Fire Starter. Fire starter heroes ignite the process of change. They may be considered political, such as our Founding Fathers. They may be social, such as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Ghandi, or Martin Luther King (… or maybe the flame was actually ignited by Rosa Parks).  They can be subtler in their fire starting, such as Shakespeare, Lady Diana… or even Elvis and at least two of the Beatles.  There have been fire starters that are abhorred by much of society, such as Adolph Hitler. What these iconic figures have in common is that they somehow changed the fabric of humanity.]]></description>
