Open Your Eyes

It has been a year. Why has it been a year? Because life happens and you lose sight of what is important and sometimes where your passions lie.

Business as Usual.

"Call & Response"

A documentary that opens your eyes to the human trafficking problem that is facing this world. A form of slavery that commits lives to prostitution, labor and death. We had the honor of having "Call & Response" featured in our local McMenemin's Mission Theater. This documentary features artists from across the world banding together to fight for human life and support organizations such as Not for Sale and International Justice Mission. Did you know that human trafficking is number 3 on our globe's illegal activities...just so happens to follows behind drugs and arms(weapons) sales. Children sold off or kidnapped from families as young as 3 years old.

Music is the method of delivery in this documentary. Blending beauty with atrocity. Artists includeTalib Kwali, Natasha Beddingfield, Switchfoot, Matisyahu and many others. They paint a picture along with the intellectual discussions and insights of political and cultural activists that also include Dr. Cornel West, Madeleine Albright, Ashley Judd and crew.

Now why did I title this 'Open Your Eyes?' I feel like we as a people have a propensity to ignore and turn our back to the world around us. A kind of, "the beat marches on" mentality. I fall right into this myself...hence the no post for a year. Doesn't it get easy sometimes to put on the blinders and just move forward with no acknowledgment of life around you? I do feel that way sometimes and see it as another form of living life as business as usual.

Please accept this first post of the year as a bunch of confused thoughts that I am trying to mingle together. Expect more to come. Expect clothing. Things are finally getting serious.
