I'VE BEEN INSPIRED

source
 For those of you following my Facebook, you might have seen my little blurb about being inspired yesterday.  Some of you might have just passed it on, and some might have wondered why?

Well I will share a little bit today!

It all started with a conversation with my cousin who is currently in graduate school in Missouri. 

She is currently a Reverend, and is furthering her Biblical education 
to become a missionary.  Quite a few years ago she became involved in 
reaching out to those that have been affected by sex trafficking.  She
even raised monies to go on a missions trip to Maldova (a small little country 
in Europe where sex trafficking is extremely prevalent).

We started talking about earning extra cash and the idea just went BOOM off in my head.  Design a piece that people can buy that represents sex trafficking.  Partner up with an organization and give 1/2 the profit to them, and the rest back into purchasing supplies and the rest some extra cash.  While my cousin loved the idea, she just doesn't have the time to do it.  Though sex trafficking might not be something that I was extremely passionate about (the way she is), why should I let my idea just sit in my head??

I did a little research and found that there are many organizations that could use my help in there fight againstsex trafficking.  One organization I found in particular was MINGA [teens combating the child sex trade].  So while I'll still be posting posts about my everyday, INSTANT MOMMIE life; I have a new project that I am passionate about seeing come to fruition and hope that I can make a difference!
