its not personal, its business

So I have had several different people email me thinking that they caused me to go private cause I didn't know them.

FALSE!

I have been feeling like I should for a while, just been lazy.

Then Chad comes home from a presentation at school in his non-profit class. There is a non-profit agency in the area, Polaris Project, trying stop child-sex-trafficking. Did you know Seattle and Portland are the top two places in the nation for that? I can not think of anything more evil.

I am from Seattle (area) and live near Portland.

That my friend, was the straw that broke the camel's back.

So remember, its not personal, its business.

(leave me your email if you want to keep reading my blog! Don't feel weird if you read it and we haven't met, I just want to know who is reading it, ya know?)

i just threw up in my mouth. it looks like i will have to go private too. yucky yuck. i hate that crap, it makes me want to die. i haven't gone private yet because i totally keep thinking that oh, then my mom can't read it because she is technologically challenged or my grandparents whatever. safety is more important. did you hear anything from chad about blogs, etc. let me know please! i would really appreciate info/facts.

thanks!

Seriously? Seattle and Portland both? That so makes me not as proud to have grown up between those two places then! I just found a Web site/organization that helps with stopping child sex trafficking. Pretty sick, isn't it? Anyway, if you want to read more about it, go to steadymom.com, this link in particular: http://www.steadymom.com/2010/01/februarys-invitation-to-give-love146.html and read all about Love146.

Gena said...

OK, let me re-word that: the Web site I found isn't sick! It's awesome there are people out there working so hard to fight it.

The child-sex-trafficking is sick!
