This week's challenge is to pack all my worldly possessions into 2 bags, soak up time with my family and mentally prep for the adventure ahead. Hmmm, I'll be busy this week.
Also, I just read this book by David Batstone....
So good. Great explanation of slavery in our time. Did you know that more slaves are in bondage today than were bartered in four centuries of the transatlantic slave trade?? (That's from page 6....but all the other pages are informative too. :) I'm ashamed I didn't know that. It seems trafficking is a well kept secret underground. People are sold as prostitutes, kidnapped as child soldiers, and trapped as laborers under lock and key. Seriously, something needs to be done. I'll go to Greece and investigate...
I have the book sitting near a giant poinsettia for seasonal effect. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas with your families!
Watch for my next post...from ATHENS!

Wow, by the time I read this, you were on your way!
Look forward to more! You are right, anything that does anything to take action against human trafficking can only be good ... however small the effect it may feel like you are having.
The poinsettia plant and table somehow coordinate with the colors of the book cover.
blessings!
