Should have there been one person in and around Bruce County that DID NOT enjoy the beautiful weather day it was here, or for that matter anywhere in and around Ontario, they would have had to been NUTS !!! I can't remember there being too many nasty weather Thanksgivings, as I believe most them have been good, or ended up being good before the weekend was over.
There is certainly one benefit to visiting or living in Bruce County that comes to my mind on what there was to do on a perfect Fall Day after eating a huge Turkey Dinner, and that would be taking a Hike on one of the many hiking trails Bruce County has to offer.
However then there are people like myself and Rob, who are surrounded by these same hiking trails, not having a huge Turkey Dinner yesterday, and resorting to bringing in the sheaves in preparation of the approaching Winter months. Our sheaves being defined as "wood" for our "woodstove" so we might stay "warm" this upcoming Winter ..... lol.
"Unfortunately it appears that some of "us" are having more "breaks" then the "rest" of us?"
Oh no !!! Now I have mentioned the word "sheaves", my mind is stuck on the old Hymn sung in Church so many years ago that goes like this "bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, we shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves". Oh man, oh man, I surely hope I am not stuck on "replay" all day with that going through my head !!! Not that it isn't a catchy tune or anything, I just wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else with the amount of sleep I didn't get last night ..... lol.
Back to the "wood", maybe that will take my mind off the "sheaves".
Rob and Lexus managed to get one ash, one maple and one very large wild cherry tree cut up into chunks to then be loaded into the trailer of the ATV and taken up to the woodshed by the house to be split and piled.
With that all being said, the last trip to the house where Rob was just starting to split the chunks we were happy to get another break in .....
"Yeah !!! Ralphy and Bob were out touring around on their Motorcycles, whilst, so I heard, Herman was home eating a HUGE TURKEY DINNER, and poor Rob and I were "bringing in those sheaves" ..... lol. Where was all the "justice" in that for us on such a beautiful Fall Day?"
We did welcome the company and the break that went along with it, so it made for a very good visit with refreshments of Peach juice being served up, and Bandit taking a real fancy to Ralph. Bandit was thinking Ralph was going to throw his toy for him the whole time, however we clued in Ralph about the "time out" command .....
"...... so here is Bandit patiently having a "time out", much to his dismay, almost looking like he was saying, "please mister, please throw me the ball once more" ..... poor Bandit."
Ralph and Bob mounted their machines and headed further South of the Checkerboard back to their own respective homes in Southampton and Port Elgin .
Rob and I returned to our task at hand managing to have it all said and done, for what needed to be done yesterday, with it being just after the 4 o'clock hour I am sure. I had just gone into the house, when my friend, Diane, stopped in on her way home from an 80th Birthday Party, to return a book I had lent her.
What a delightful visit we had, however short as her husband had a Turkey at home all ready to come out of the oven. I didn't let Diane leave until she got herself a few beets and a bit of Dill from our garden to take along home with her.
"It was rather pleasant seeing someone else pulling veggies from the garden other then ourselves, and seeing the pleasure and appreciation on Diane's face well knowing of all the work and time that goes along with having a garden. Thanks for sharing our bounty Diane, as she thought she was making off with quite a nice little "booty". That would be a Pirate's booty, not the "behind" booty people ! as Diane so eloquently explained to me .... lol."
I also had just learned from Diane's visit that she "knits" ! Both my sisters knit, but I don't know how to knit ! Not only does Diane knit, she knitted something for me !!!!
"Diane made me fingerless gloves for when I walk Bandit and Lexus this Winter, which a pair of mittens can be put over top of when need be. She also brought me some Nasturtiums seeds for me to plant next Spring !"
"Do they not look absolutely "wonderful"? Thanks Diane, they certainly are what your "tag" reads, "To Di for Creations". You will definitely be in my thoughts each walk I am wearing them this Winter with thoughts of many many more thanks !!!!"
"Oh man, never leave a camera in Rob's hands for too long, as he takes pictures of people who are still wearing their dirty work clothes and probably haven't even ran a comb through their hair yet ! "Jeez Rob" ..... then he says, "how do you like it Cin?" ..... lol, how could I possibly get mad at that kind of reasoning ?"
That was not only a productive day, it was also a day made enjoyable by the company we were able to spend time with. A perfect day at its best !
Let see if the Wiarton Airport's weatherman has another beautiful Fall Day planned for us.
Yesiree Bob I am going to take that sunshiny day and run with it !
I think first I will further contemplate my day ahead over just one more cup of Java, before I am off and running, once again, "Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard".
* Home * Food * Community * The daily life of a Bruce County woman living on 50 acres just beyond the entranceway to Bruce Peninsula, with her husband, Rob (aka The "Crabby Cabbie"), along with their four Australian Shepherds, Portia, Buddy, Mazda & Bentley, and 2 Rescue Cats, Paisley and Davidson.

Archive for 'weddings'
I LOVE Okanagan weddings! I was thrilled to shoot N+T's wedding in Summerland at the gorgeous La Punta Norte – the Mexican style Bed & Breakfast overlooking the Okanagan Lake is breathtaking. The soft pastel tones of the bridesmaids' dresses, abundant lavender and the minty green foliage blended beautifully together and the desert heat wasn't overwhelming thanks to the cool breeze from the lake. I am lucky to have family in Kelowna and visit quite often throughout the year so I don't charge travel fees for weddings in the Okanagan. Here are some of my favourites from this Summerland wedding:
Photographing this wedding was a dream come true thanks to the amazing vendors and all of their hard work! Aly Armstrong is such a sweetheart and a rockstar, and I am blown away everytime I see what the Flower Factory's team has created! Here are some of the details from this beautiful outdoor Cecil Green garden wedding:
Aly Armstrong Event Planning & Design
Shannon & Chris' wedding was one of my easiest to photograph. They remembered all the pointers and guidance I gave them during their engagement session so the photos were really effortless. There were so many heartfelt moments throughout the day and Shannon's niece and nephew were so adorable I couldn't handle it! Here are some captures from their wedding ceremony at the gorgeous VanDusen Botanical garden on the Great Lawn and later their reception at Shaughnessy Restaurant.


text: Summer is by far my favorite season. I don't even mind those almost unbearably hot days. Maybe it's because I grew up in the tropics where almost everyday is unbearably hot and humid. But whatever the reason, summer is my favorite time of year. I know there is something beautiful in every season and even though I don't like every aspect of every season, I can appreciate something in each one. In the winter, even though I hate the cold, I love the beautiful white snow that falls to the ground. In fall, I enjoy the seasonal pumpkin flavors of coffees, muffins and cheesecakes and the different colors of the leaves. In spring, the greenery that starts to appear means summer is just around the corner and I actually don't mind those rainy days you get to spend inside curled up on the couch with a good book or movie. Yes, there is definitely something nice about every season, but I can go on and on about the positives of summer. Continue reading

A long list of helpful
and not so helpful things for starting out at high school. Some of them were quite witty actually. I especially liked "you are already behind on your art coursework". If only my teens had known that three or four years ago.
But, what about us parents? I wish someone had come up with some tips for me when my eldest son started high school. I remember that it was a bit... overwhelming. To say the very least.
Well, fear not, people with new secondary school starters, for I have been there (twice over!) and my third child is about to start high school with his brother and sister this very week. Maybe I could be that person with the tips?
So I thought I'd have a stab at writing a list so that anyone about to embark on this very weird and scary time (for you, not them obvs. They will breeze it). Here we go.
1. On the morning of their first day, when they put on the uniform that you bought from the school suppliers about 8 weeks ago for fear of them running out, you will hope and pray that your child hasn't suddenly grown 2ft in height during the summer holiday and that the thing still fits.
2. Even if they have, they will still look too little and scared to be wearing it. A bit like when Tom Hanks turns back into a child at the end of "Big".
3. School lunch boxes are for babies. Under no circumstances must their lunch go anywhere near Tupperware of any kind. In fact, let them buy their lunch, it's way cooler (although will probably comprise of a chocolate muffin and a plate of chips).
4. You must not go anywhere near the school gates whatsoever. If you have to drop them off, best to do that a couple of streets away and let them walk with their mates. The school gate is no longer your domain *punches air*
5. Expect them to have done "nothing" and spent time with "no one" for the whole of their first day (and beyond). It's a lot like they've turned back into a five year old in this respect. Roll with it. Just like when they were five, it very rarely is true.
6. They will inhale the contents of your fridge when they return because they are "starving". Also, their feet will ache from all the walking they've had to do to each lesson. Despite the fact that the school is only two streets away and didn't look that big to you when you visited it, they will claim to have walked for miles. In their heads they have (but don't worry, they get used to it quite quickly).
7. Don't ignore the fact that you need to sign their homework planner and agree to the rules too. Do it as soon as they shove it under your nose. If you forget then they are the ones who get the warning/detention not you! *speaks from bitter experience*. Also, don't sign letters without reading them properly first. Before you know it you'll have signed you child up for an £1100 Home Economics trip to the Ukraine or similar. There are non compulsory trip letters like this every week.
8. When they get their first piece of homework to do, it is fairly tempting to help them so that theirs is the best (isn't it obvious that they are the cleverest and destined for top set? Didn't the teacher see the SATs marks?). Don't. They'll be getting about five pieces of homework a week and it really is best if you let them get on with it themselves rather than relying on your help (you will not be able to do the Maths homework anyway, don't even try!) otherwise you'll be doing GCSE coursework again before you know it.
9. They have had a tight knit group of friends all the way through primary school, possibly since preschool even. By the end of the first month they might not be friends anymore. They may have fallen out. Kids change and no matter how shocking this is, they will make new friends. They will change friends all the time in fact. It will all level out a bit once their hormones settle down. In about Year 11.
10. Oh, one more thing. You know that uniform list that you carefully went through and bought all of? (Even the really expensive P.E. Kit when you weren't sure that three different types of top and both football and AstroTurf boots were really necessary?). After their first P.E. lesson you discover that you could have avoided all the cost entirely as they only need a polo shirt, a pair of tracksuit bottoms and some trainers. I still have a micro fleece training top, several pairs of shorts, white sports socks, a never worn pair of football boots and a gum shield that we never got round to fitting. Thank goodness the sports department never got back to me with a price for a rugby shirt or else we'd own one of those too. What can I say? They were on the list! Another note: schools very rarely update the uniform lists.
So there you are. A potted guide to being the parent of a secondary school going child. And the most important thing? Always snap a picture of them while they look smart in their uniform (because it's going to be the last time they wear it as it's supposed to be worn, without the "aftermarket" customisations, see fig. 1) and have a tissue handy because you will have a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye. Your child is about to embark on the final stages of their school career and it all feels a bit scary. That bit never really changes.
Good luck and welcome to secondary school!

She didn't even like coffee really.
But there she was, every morning, ordering the same medium iced coffee with a splash of soy milk. The order the barista had ready at the opening of the coffee shop door.
The barista with the long, dark hair and the ring on her perfectly rounded nose and the stem of a single flower peeking out from her uniform sleeve and the name tag that read "Claire."
She was intrigued by Claire.
But then there was Peter.
She liked his familiar smile and his curly, unkempt hair and the way his worn-out sneaker tapped to an unnamed rhythm and how he never seemed to know the date.
She liked Peter.
She was intrigued, yet she was confused.
Her experience—her trip to the coffee shop each morning to hear Claire call out her order; her shortness of breath when Peter asked her the date each afternoon—her experience underscores how personal and subjective one's sexual identity really is.
It's empowering, really, to be able to lack a defined label for sexual orientation.
She can outline her own identity as she sees fit.
And the more we talk about our own sexual fluidity, the more common and relatable it becomes. It's not to say that sexual fluidity is a rising fad and that people are "jumping on the bandwagon." Rather, what may have shocked us a few years ago no longer fazes us. Instead, we can see an individual's fluity and realize they're just like me.
Would it matter whether she was intrigued by Claire or Peter first? Would it really alter her attraction to either one? Whether she previously identified herself as heterosexual, homosexual, or any identity between, it didn't matter, for she was feeling feelings now. And no external force, no label, no definition could change that.
And that's the beauty of the pervasiveness of sexual fluidity: this girl—although confused—revels in the comfort of knowing; of knowing others are walking the same path; of knowing her own power of choice; of knowing she's allowed to feel; of knowing they're just like me.

About Joshua
Although I wasn't raised here, after 20 years, Seattle is my home. Seventeen of those twenty years have been in what's now District 4. I arrived in 1999 to attend the University of Washington, and worked throughout college: as a lifeguard at the Bellevue Aquatic Center and the IMA; an engineering Research Assistant; and a beer and pretzel vendor at then-Safeco field. I swam for the Huskies, volunteered with WashPIRG, and was active in ASUW Student Senate and Hillel UW. I graduated in August 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering.
Shortly after college, I worked by day with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers at the Stroum Jewish Community Center (the J) and hustled delivering pizzas for Zeek's in the evening (Veggie Thai!). I also had the great opportunity to consult for Outdoor Research and Cascade Designs, Inc on quality control and process improvement projects. It was at the J where I discovered the importance of quality early learning— and where I met my wife, Emily.
In 2006, I joined The Boeing Co. as an Industrial Engineer in the early days of the 787 Program. Working with international suppliers, mechanics, and executives in Product Development, Test, and Final Assembly— and all of the complex dynamics that go along with such a large-scale project— was excellent preparation for public service. I've worked as an Area Rep with my local SPEEA Union (IFPTE Local 2001), and I mentor Boeing interns, lead process improvement workshops, and crunch data.
Along with my professional endeavors, I've learned an incredible amount about leadership, partnership, and working with diverse communities through my outside interests. In addition to coaching kids at North Seattle Baseball and serving on the board of my synagogue, Congregation Beth Shalom, I was President and board member of the Maple Leaf Community Council in 2012 where I led the Council through a surprisingly challenging partnership with a private foundation to redevelop the Maple Leaf park's playground. I'm a former President and board member of Seattle Subway, the preeminent pro-rail transit advocacy group. I'm also a founding member and former Chair of Maple Leaf Greenways, a collective of neighbors who work to make their neighborhoods safer and expand low cost transportation alternatives. It is these last two experiences, along with my recent fellowship with the Institute for a Democratic Future, that solidified my commitment to putting my expertise at data analysis and systems collaboration into something that really matters to all of us: our city. Our home. Our government.
I live, eat, and play in the Ravenna neighborhood of District 4 with my wife, Emily, our four kids, and two cats.

The Teamster General Executive Board enacted the rules without dissent.
"This election will be fair and open, with the most informed electorate in Teamster history," said Teamsters President James P. Hoffa in announcing the new rules. "The fundamental principles of union democracy demand that a union's electoral process reflect the highest possible degree of integrity. These rules meet that exacting demand."
Next year, the Teamsters will conduct international elections for General President, General Secretary-Treasurer, International Vice Presidents and International Trustees. Those elected will serve through 2006. The elections will be run by an independent election Administrator appointed by the union.
The rules prohibit contributions by outsiders; only active Teamster members will be permitted to contribute. Candidates and independent committees will be required to report all contributions. For the first time, independent committees will be required to disclose the amount of all contributions they receive and the number of contributors. The record-keeping and auditing regime prescribed by the rules is unprecedented in terms of scope, detail and transparency, according to the Teamsters.
"These Teamster election rules will provide the model for 21st century union democracy," said Hoffa. "The voice of the rank-and-file Teamster ill ring out loud and true through elections unrivaled in their fairness."

|June 22, 1844
|DAVIE, North Carolina
|Economy, Government, Law
|"Rise And Fall of the Slave South," University of Virginia
|No votes.
People in town were gathered around a newspaper with the political platforms for the upcoming Presidential election. The candidate that seemed to care the most about the people of the county, especially the farmers was A.G. Carter. He had been the Senator here for twelve years so if he anything he had the experience to make the best politician. He promised to not burden people with taxes anymore and to vote for a Senator who will have the best interest of the people and county at heart. Carter seemed so honest and straightforward-the way people in North Carolina want to be represented, and he promised to vote for the good, old traditional Republican doctrines. Carter also claimed in his letter that people needed to fight the annexation of Texas, and reclaim this as American land by negotiating a Treaty with Spain. Texas was a large piece of territory for our people to settle and this could mean a stronger country. Carter spoke for common folks, announcing that he would work for the best prices and not let politicians deceive people into paying high prices for cheap goods. Carter appealed to parental concerns by reminding voters of how defective the education system had become; apparently the people of Rowan are not getting the large amount of money that went into a fund for the state to use on education, and if that money went to the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Co. citizens would have to pay taxes directly on it. This didn't seem fair to the people of North Carolina, especially the children who needed opportunities for education in order to get better jobs, and the railroad certainly didn't provide jobs for all the people of North Carolina. Carter said that there was too much legislation instead of too little, and a lot of people agreed judging by the reactions in his letter published in the daily paper.
Railroad companies and education competed for state funding. Although many citizens of North Carolina were still self employed, agriculture being the dominant economy of the South, there was an influx of funding from Southern states into their technological and industrial advances in order to keep up with Northern urban economies. This is consistent with the views of William Cooper and Thomas Terrill, historians who claimed that significant growth in the later antebellum periods, spurred by the Panic of 1837, severely depressed cotton prices until the mid-1840s, leaving the South considerably underdeveloped in comparison with Northern states. This was due to resistance from Southern politicians, who garnered support and funding for issues that were intangible for many citizens. However, the South did benefit from participation in industrialization due to the fact that crops and textiles could be more widely distributed in more convenient, quicker ways. This was an imperative equalizer to Northern society, but also an essential for Southern growth.

Three weeks after a bizarre White House meeting with US President Donald Trump, rapper Kanye West says he is distancing himself from politics.
Key points:
•West tweeted said he felt he was used to spread messages he doesn't believe in
•He added that he will be focusing on being creative
•West has previously said he and Mr Trump share "dragon energy"
West, Mr Trump's biggest celebrity supporter, had said the President made him feel "like a superhero", and that wearing the Trump campaign's iconic red Make America Great Again hat gave him power.
But in a series of tweets, West has seemingly backflipped, claiming that he feels like he has "been used" for his influence.
"My eyes are now wide open and now realise I've been used to spread messages I don't believe in," he tweeted, without specifically mentioning Mr Trump or the Republican party.
He added that he would now be distancing himself from politics to focus on being creative.
West — who once claimed he would run for the US presidency in 2020 — also sought to distance himself from a new campaign that seeks to draw African-Americans away from supporting the Democrat Party
The singer and fashion designer, who has said he is bipolar, also said he "never wanted any association" with the campaign launched last weekend, called Blexit.
West, 41, was linked to the campaign after its leader, conservative activist Candace Owens, said he had designed the logo for the movement's hats and T-shirts.
"I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn't want their name on it so she used mine," West tweeted on Tuesday. "I have nothing to do with it."
West posted his comments just a week before US midterm elections on November 6 and after months of erratic behaviour, including describing slavery as a choice . SOURCE: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-31/kanye-west-says-he-is-distancing-himself-from-politics/10451460

On October 11, he met Mr Trump in the Oval Office and launched into a rambling 10-minute-long speech carried live on television in which he said Mr Trump made him feel like a superhero and referenced the existence of an alternate universe.
Earlier in the year, West posted a picture of himself wearing the MAGA hat, said he and Mr Trump shared "dragon energy" and said he loved the President like a brother.

After widespread criticism of his comments, he released a song with T.I, where he defended his support of Mr Trump and slammed the idea that "all Blacks gotta be Democrats."
His wife, Kim Kardashian, was a public supporter of Hillary Clinton during her 2016 campaign and has previously distanced herself from her husband's ties to Mr Trump.
She also visited the White House earlier this year and pushed Mr Trump to grant a pardon for a drug offender.

I knew my step-mother was cheating on my dad, and oh yes– it infuriates me, but not for the reason that you might think. I've been investigating my stepmother and watching her dodge and squirm out of my attempts to catch her in the act. I now have evidence to bring to light.
It's not possible for her to get away this time. I've went over the scenario dozens of times since I connected the dots. I began to fantasize proving her guilt, and she tests me asking "what evidence do I have?" I show her and it pushes her off her high horse, maybe she cowers, tugs on my legs, and begs me to keep her secret. I confess that all the fantasizing has given me quite a power trip. I'm not used to pulling on a woman's strings as if I am a puppeteer. I've started to wonder what else can I make my step-mommy puppet do?

The two living spaces that are most susceptible to dirt and stains are the kitchen and bathroom. A recent fabric question on Houzz got me thinking. How would our shade fabrics stand up to stains and spills? What can our customers do to keep their shades in like new condition?
Although the shade fabric is dust repellent and can be vacuumed, I wondered if using a repellent spray would help prevent any stains or splatters. Light filtering fabrics can be washed in a tub, as mentioned in our FAQ. I ventured to the store and got a can of Fabric & Upholstery Protector by Scotchgard and started my experiment.
Note: this experiment is not endorsed or sponsored by Scotchgard. All fabric protectors may work differently, I stuck with a name brand so customers may replicate my results in the future.
I am testing a light filtering shade that will be installed in a window here in our facility. I have also sprayed a piece of the Black Out fabric since it normally should not be exposed to moisture and might benefit the most from a repellent spray.
For the light filtering shade we want to see if the Scotchgard degrades or discolors the fabric over time. I will also spray the shade with water to see how well it repels water in a week, 6 months and 12 months. I have applied 2 coats of Scotchgard to the front and back of the shade (following the directions on the can) and will install it tomorrow. You can see the shade at right. It is made of 116 Cadenza Double Cell Light Filtering fabric with Smoothy Top Down Bottom Up lift (and special order Bronze hardware).
For the black out material, I am going to see how the Scotchgard spray repels the water spray as well. I have just sprayed a scrap piece for this particular test. I applied the same 2 coats as the light filtering shade.
I'll update you all in a week!

Some Scotchgard fabric and rug cleaners are unaffected. the compounds were persistent in the environment and in human blood, the company said it alerted regulators and began working to come up with alternative compounds.

The U.S. Department of State has listed on their website 20 ways that you can help fight human trafficking.
After first learning about human trafficking, many people want to help in some way but do not know how. Here are just a few ideas for your consideration.
1. Learn the red flags that may indicate human trafficking and ask follow up questions so that you can help identify a potential trafficking victim. Human trafficking awareness training is available for individuals, businesses, first responders, law enforcement, and federal employees.
2. In the United States, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-3737-888 (24/7) to get help and connect with a service provider in your area, report a tip with information on potential human trafficking activity; or learn more by requesting training, technical assistance, or resources. Call federal law enforcement directly to report suspicious activity and get help from the Department of Homeland Security at 1-866-347-2423 (24/7), or submit a tip online at www.ice.gov/tips, or from the U.S. Department of Justice at 1-888-428-7581 from 9:00am to 5:00pm (EST). Victims, including undocumented individuals, are eligible for services and immigration assistance.
3. Be a conscientious consumer. Discover your Slavery Footprint, and check out the Department of Labor's List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor. Encourage companies, including your own, to take steps to investigate and eliminate slavery and human trafficking in their supply chains and to publish the information for consumer awareness.
4. Incorporate human trafficking information into your professional associations' conferences, trainings, manuals, and other materials as relevant [example].
5. Join or start a grassroots anti-trafficking coalition.
6. Meet with and/or write to your local, state, and federal government representatives to let them know that you care about combating human trafficking in your community, and ask what they are doing to address human trafficking in your area.
7. Distribute public awareness materials available from the Department of Health and Human Services or Department of Homeland Security.
8. Volunteer to do victim outreach or offer your professional services to a local anti-trafficking organization.
9. Donate funds or needed items to an anti-trafficking organization in your area.
10. Organize a fundraiser and donate the proceeds to an anti-trafficking organization.
11. Host an awareness event to watch and discuss a recent human trafficking documentary. On a larger scale, host a human trafficking film festival.
12. Encourage your local schools to partner with students and include the issue of modern day slavery in their curriculum. As a parent, educator, or school administrator, be aware of how traffickers target school-aged children.
13. Set up a Google alert to receive current human trafficking news.
14. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper about human trafficking in your community.
15. Start or sign a human trafficking petition.
16. Businesses: Provide internships, job skills training, and/or jobs to trafficking survivors. Consumers: Purchase items made by trafficking survivors such as from Jewel Girls or Made by Survivors.
17. Students:Take action on your campus. Join or establish a university or secondary school club to raise awareness about human trafficking and initiate action throughout your local community. Consider doing one of your research papers on a topic concerning human trafficking. Professors: Request that human trafficking be an issue included in university curriculum. Increase scholarship about human trafficking by publishing an article, teaching a class, or hosting a symposium.
18. Law Enforcement Officials: Join or start a local human trafficking task force.
19. Mental Health or Medical Providers: Extend low-cost or free services to human trafficking victims assisted by nearby anti-trafficking organizations. Train your staff on how to identify the indicators of human trafficking and assist victims.
20. Attorneys:Look for signs of human trafficking among your clients. Offer pro-bono services to trafficking victims or anti-trafficking organizations. Learn about and offer to human trafficking victims the legal benefits for which they are eligible. Assist anti-trafficking NGOs with capacity building and legal work.
Today's challenge: Choose 3 of the above 20 to do in the next week!
No action, no matter how small it may seem, is insignificant. Everything that you do matters.
Make a difference today!

What can you get for $90? A few video games? Some DVD's? How about a slave?
What is life that you can put a price on it? What is it that determines the value of a person? What makes one person worth more than another and who set the standard?
Yet every minutes 2 children are prepared for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Every minute an estimated $3,000 is spent on pornography which victimize women and children.
The average cost for a slave is $90….
$90 – aren't they worth more than that? Life is priceless. You have unsurpassable worth. These victims have unsurpassable worth – but most of then won't ever know it. But one would hope that they believe that they are worth more than they are getting and that they are worth more than the sum they are being sold for. Love is the only thing that can heal those wounds inflicted by those who treat them as little more than objects. Love unconditional. Love that can only come from God. Love that transcends all. The love that sees their unsurpassable worth and that died for them as He did for me and as He did for you.
They are worth more.
You are worth more.
Your worth is not based on what you do. Your worth is not based on where you are. Your worth is not based on how you were raised, your family, your friends, your job or anything like that. Your worth is not based on your popularity or position.
Your worth was established before you took your first breath.
Jesus came and paid the debt that we could not pay – an innocent life for the countless guilty. But the price was right. That moment He came defined your worth and mine as unsurpassed. A sinless, innocent life for the redemption of humanity.
We didn't deserve it. But the love of God is so great that He sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. He alone defines our worth as He did that day – we were worth it all.
Yet here we are and the number 2 illegal criminal activity is the selling of our fellow brethren.
This should not be happening!
If the price is right…..then what is the worth of life?

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." – Jim Elliot.
What do you burn for?
What in your life gives eternal value?
You never know when your last day is. Are you prepared to lay down your life for what you claim to believe? Do you really burn for the gospel? Are you truly passionate about God, or are you in love with your religion?
The gospel will be an offense…persecution will come and persist, and in a paradox, instead of dying out, this will cause an uproar and a move of God – it will come out of the persecution.
Your life for the gospel – a life that makes sense in eternity. I life lived for God.
What burdens and burns in your heart?
My life for the gospel looks like invading the low and dark places that only the broken and shame are found. The victims, the abused, the prostitutes, the emotionally devastated, the hopeless, the runaway, the lost, the disillusioned, those who no longer see their priceless worth after being stripped down to what they see as nothing, the hurting – the broken women.
My life for the gospel looks like living the unloved and battered women and girls. To reach out and rescue the ones from which innocence has been torn away.
My life for the gospel looks like reaching into the dark places of a broken soul for the light the enemy has tried so desperately to steal from them.
My life for the gospel brings a restoration to the broken and a recognition of redemption. It brings hope.
What does your life for the gospel look like? What burdens your heart? Where can you make a difference?

I woke up this morning with an old hymn going through my head. You may or may not be familiar with it – Rock of Ages. Just the familiar tune reminded me of when I was little and my siblings and I would crowd on the couch with my mother and we would sing a few hymns and pray and read the Bible together. Those were the simple days, (at least they were for me,) where the biggest concerns were who got the blue dum-dum when we went through the bank drive-through or whose turn it was to have a sleep over at Nana and Pap's house.
These days my concerns are bigger (in my eyes) than the ones I had as a child. It seems that I have a long to-do list with a short amount of time. And that may be true, but even more-so, His grace is sufficient and the sufficiency of Christ is more than enough for me.
It wouldn't be hard to overwhelm myself with the details or with commitments and deadlines – but what good is that? What good is it to get so caught up in what I do that I forget why I do it. Is not all for the glory of God? At times that can mean putting my "to-do" to the wayside, and putting my "being" at His feet simply to worship Him and to be with Him.
Sometimes life can get messy and unpredictable. Situations you find yourself in can get hard and you can get hurt or find yourself confused and lost. You're pushing yourself to the max but to no avail. It's those times you need to take a deep breath, put your "to-do" to the side and sit as His feet. God is the only constant in this life – He's the Rock of the ages. Recognize Him in the midst of what you're going through.
How are you feeling today? Are you tired, stressed, anxious? Are you busy, distracted, concerned? Are you frightful, lonely or hurt?
"3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because He trusts in You.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength."
Isaiah 26:3-4 (NKJV)
No matter how you are feeling, remember God is still on the throne. He sees and cares about the situation you're in. When you recognize where He is, those feelings will melt away and peace will follow.
"2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies."
Psalm 18:2-3 (NKJV)

I have never been less aware of my single status or more aware of how loved I am.
First thing this morning I had such a blessed time with Jesus and in the presence of God. I never thought it would go this way, but lately I have been studying love – perfect time of year isn't it? But today I was studying on what it means to truly love God. What does that look like? What does it mean?
John 14:21 say this: "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."
That is what it looks like to love God. Throwing off the religious mind-set that makes the Word of God a book of rules and thus a duty to abide by, we then can see that when we abide in love, we then have a desire to obey the commands of God.
And just what are His commands? Matthew 22:36-40:
"36 'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?' 37 Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
Summed up: Love God and love people.
No sooner had I finished my Bible study this morning to get ready for school than I find this gift on my doorstep!
A rose and chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised. Attached to the rose was a sweet note and this is what it said:
"Brittany, We are giving you these gifts on this special Valentine's Day to honor you. You are such an amazing, beautiful, and loved woman of God and it's a privilege to be considered your family. Love, Your VSOM Brothers Hebrews 13:1 – "Let brotherly love continue."
Being single on valentines day does not exclude you from being loved or being special. God touched my heart this morning, and then my amazing and thoughtful classmates, my VSOM brothers gave an expression of their love with this sweet surprise. (I call bragging rights, we have the best guys!) This day has been most incredible. Our corporate prayer time at school this morning carried a sweet atmosphere of God's love and I finished the day off after school with a dear friend at the Prayer Center. It has been a beautiful day filled with love. It's not about the gifts, but about living out the love of Jesus – which is truly living out the Jesus that is in us. How can you express that love to someone this week?
To My VSOM Brothers: Thank you for your thoughts, your gifts, your prayers, and all the ways that you express your love each day. Thank you for living out the love of Jesus, by which your loving us shows a great deal of how much you love Him. You are amazing and anointed leaders that exhibit godly character and I am so blessed to have you in my life. I am proud to call you family. I love you all and you are dear to my heart! Bless!

In lieu of taking a vacation this summer, I'll settle for the mental respite provided by The Motley's new Cyprus cologne. Launched earlier this week, the fragrance is equal parts airy and brisk, green and outdoorsy. When I uncap the bottle, I smell the sweetness of a coastal breeze just as the weather starts to turn.
"The idea for the scent came to us long before the name," says cofounder Madison Ruggieri, "The name Cyprus comes from the Mediterranean island—and the idea of cool ocean air mingling with the scent of dry fir needles from cypress trees."
After attempting to parse the blend of dry pine needles, ambergris, ginger, shave cream and cedar (I eventually cheat and read the label), I'm ready to learn more about the cologne's creation. For a behind-the-scenes look at the process, I catch up with Matt and Madison Ruggieri—and company partner Darren Criss—to talk about their new launch.
Take me through the inspiration behind Cyprus.
Madison Ruggieri: "The original vision for Cyprus was to create a scent that was clean, crisp and the greenest of all of our fragrances. We wanted it to be reminiscent of a forest, but not in a clichéd, pine-scent way. The shave cream and ginger notes really take the scent up a notch and add complexity, while still adhering to the freshness we were looking for."
How do you go from deciding on the vision to choosing the notes?
Darren Criss: "We surround ourselves with people who we admire and respect, and who make really incredible things. Jacqueline Steele is our perfumer, and she makes—by far—the best scents. Now that we've gotten to really know each other as a team, we seem to already know what kinds of scents we're looking for, and the process moves pretty fast. We give her an idea for a direction, and then we let her run with it. She always impresses us! Somehow she can turn our inspiration photos and thoughts into the perfect fragrance."
I like the combination of the shave cream with ginger. Why these notes?
Madison Ruggieri: "Traditional shave cream is comprised of notes of tonka bean and lavender. We added the ginger to give it a hint of spiciness. It adds complexity to the clean notes without making it musky."
Your first cologne was Atlas, which was a strong scent on its own. Do you have specific goals in mind with each new addition to The Motley's in-house fragrance line?
Matt Ruggieri: "After Atlas, the goal with each new scent has been to develop a collection of scents that complement each other while providing new, very unique fragrances. There will always be notes that tie each new fragrance back to the line."
Madison Ruggieri: "It's a bit like a family; each scent has its own personality, but you can tell that they come from the same place. So now we have a spicy musk, a fresh citrus, a deep wood and a crisp green scent.
Darren Criss: "If you think of a spectrum of scent, we've now filled that space between Bergamo and Atlas with Cyprus. It's fresh and clean. We wanted to create a green fragrance, but something that wasn't too earthy. There is a simple complexity to it and it's not overbearing."
Who do you see wearing Cyprus?
Madison Ruggieri: "We would personify this scent as the modern outdoorsman—someone who goes kayaking or hiking on the weekend, but dons a shirt and tie just as naturally. It's great for the person who doesn't typically like cologne because it leaves you with a fresh, out-of-the-shower scent."
What does it evoke for you?
Darren Criss: "If you were to associate seasons to our colognes, Cyprus would definitely be fall. Winter would be Oud, spring would be Bergamo and summer would be Atlas. Fall is one of my favorite seasons because of the shift. It involves lots of colors, vibrant variance, lots of levels. Winter is cold. Summer is hot. Fall is this beautiful in between. It's unpredictably variable and complex. Having something like Cyprus matches the aesthetic of what fall feels like."
Day or night?
Matt Ruggieri: 'It could easily go day or night, but if I had to choose, I'd say day. It's clean and fresh enough for the boardroom."
Splash or spray?
Matt Ruggieri: It's all personal preference. The splash is great for the more old-fashioned, intimate experience of applying directly to pressure points. The spray is more familiar to most men these days, and it's quick and easy to apply. Just depends on whether you want to make a ritual out of applying your fragrance, or if you're going for a quick spritz."
What's your favorite thing about working on a new cologne?
Darren Criss: "I really enjoy being part of the creative process. As a person who 'creates' for a living, I enjoy the innovating that goes into producing new products. Making a shaving cream isn't the same as performing a song, but there are certain literal and figurative notes that you want to hit. Making a product that people love is definitely rewarding."
