Editor's Letter Inspiration can come in many forms. It can come from the Bible, people, other books, movies and more. We all want to be inspired to see the good in the world and in people. Many of us look to our parents, teachers, friends, co-workers, bosses and other mentors for inspiration.

I recently realized that I too look to be inspired all the time. I believe in hope and dreams with the promise of better tomorrow. This issue has really touched me in many ways. As I became more aware of different causes like Human Trafficking, I realized how much pain the world and its children are sometimes in. We need inspiration and joy in our lives now more than ever.

I challange you all today to be a person who can not only be inspired but someone who can inspire. It doesn’t take much to be a ray of light in someone’s life. Take the time to be a good person, do good deeds, help others, be happy and make a difference in the world with your light. Find out how you can help serve in your community. God has given you two hands, one for yourself and one for others.

Light the way for someone today.

God Bless You Kymberly Soule’

Guys Gu to looking

good at the beach

Sunglasses While you’re protecting your eyes from that pesky sun, you might as well look good at the same time. From Aviators and Wayfarer to Ray Ban and Oakley, just take your pick. Sunglasses are like shoes - you don’t just own one pair; so grab your favorite casual pair when you’re hitting up the beach.

Shorts Decide on your swim wear depending on what activities you have planned for your time at the beach. Are you the kind that loves a fast game of beach volleyball? Then it’s best to stick to short swimming trunks that you can later dive into the water with. But if you prefer to lounge around the beach, eating and drinking and taking a few lazy walks, why not go for the very stylish 3/4th length surfing shorts? They’re funky and comfortable and perfect for a lazy day at the beach.

Shirt

Casual t-shirts and tank tops are great beach wear, as well as a lightweight sho shows off your abs. Also, try and match your swimwear and t-shirt or tank top co

Shoes

Sandals are great for the beach. They are practical, slip on and off easily, and y flip-flops and try out funky colors and patterns. No one would blink an eyelid if y beach party or to hit the club nearby.

Protective Gear

top Human Trafficking

About Eye Heart World The mission of Eye Heart World is to stop Human Trafficking through awareness, prevention, and aftercare. Thanks to the work of government agencies, non-government agencies, and the media, the plight of those who are being exploited is being brought into the light more and more. That leaves people who are gripped and moved by this issue asking what they can do to get involved in bringing it to an end.

Eye Heart World is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit that exists to fight Human Trafficking, and connect people to the anti-slavery movement. The high-quality, USA-made products produced by Eye Heart World give people a way to Carry the Cause, raise awareness about the issue, and raise funding for local and global anti-slavery initiatives. Eye Heart World’s local initiatives raise awareness about the issue in the community, bring education in the social services sector, bring prevention for at-risk young people, and help victims become survivors.

The face of Eye Heart World is its fashion line, which gives people an entry point into the cause. Many people want to take action when they hear of this issue, and the purchase of Eye Heart World products is great first step. Each specific item is connected to an Impact Level. When an item is purchased, proceeds from the sale go directly toward initiatives that provide prevention and aftercare. Simply put, the sale of each Eye Heart World product not only supports both local and global initiatives, but it also connects the purchaser to the issue, enabling them to Carry the Cause.

- Every product is fair trade and made in the U.S. or at social impact ventures that provide jobs in developing countries.

- The VRB Project is an initiative of Eye Heart World that provides Human Trafficking first responders with Victim Response Bags which provide new, clean clothing, basic hygiene essentials and messages of support for survivors immediately after they are rescued from human trafficking situations.

- Walk the Cause is an initiative of Eye Heart World that works to place therapy dogs in Human Trafficking aftercare homes. These amazing pups provide a sense of love and acceptance, something these girls and ladies desperately need.

- Over the past five years Eye Heart World has educated over 10,000 people at live events and has empowered hundreds to get involved in fighting Human Trafficking through various projects and events.

About Trafficking Many people, specifically in the United States, believe slavery to have ended sometime before the end of the 1800’s. The word, “slavery” conjures up images of ships filled with abducted Africans, crowded cotton fields, and grave injustices. While those images are very stark realities of the past, unfortunately, they do not simply live in the past. Though the face of slavery has changed, this fact remains: the exploitation of people is a very sad reality for millions of people across the world. Many estimate that there are currently between 20 and 27 million people around the world who are caught in a life of exploitation, victims of a criminal industry that produces revenues of over $100 billion annually.

When most people think of Human Trafficking they have visions of the red light districts of Eastern Europe or the sweatshops of China. They think of girls being forced into prostitution or children sewing clothing and making toys. As sad and true as those pictures are, the harsh reality is that the same types of exploitation occur all across the United States from large cities to small, rural communities.

- Cases of Human Trafficking have been reported in all 50 states in the United States of America.

- 70% of under-aged U.S. victims were or are in the foster care system.

- The National Human Trafficking hotline (1-888-373-7888) receives an average of 100 calls per day.

- "How did I not know about this? Why didn't someone warn me? Had I known, I would have never fallen into this." - Words of a sex trafficking survivor from South Alabama.

- Many times a pimp will tattoo his name on the girls he controls in order to brand them as though they were cattle.

- In the 1800's a slave cost the equivalent of $40,000 today. Right now the global average price of a slave is $90.

- The average age of entry into forced prostitution is 12-14.

- "I can't believe that while I was in my situation there were people like you fighting on my behalf. God must really love me." - Words of a sex trafficking survivor from Tampa, FL.

Be an I

Everybody looks up to somebody. They don't have to be wildly rich or famous to be someone who is worthy of being looked up to.

Your mother, friend or even the weird man who always seems to be happy and cheerful all the time can be fantastic candidates for an inspiration. You can't seriously take steps to be an inspiration to others because being an inspiration is something that comes without deliberate effort. However, here are some steps which may aid you in being admired by your peers.

Do things people wouldn't normally do: and do it silently

and with ease. Don't complain, act like it's not a big deal. These kinds of people are admirable because they show compassion and selflessness, something that is becoming rarer and rarer in this selfish age. Show this kind of behaviour and people will see a soft and kind side that they will become drawn to

Listen and act: You must be willing to actually help others and take action for them, not just for yourself. If people seem like they are in need of help or guidance in anything, go for it. People love others who are willing to help them, and who don't hold back in showing kindness.

Be accepting:

Never discriminate against anybody. Don't be racist, sexist or homophobic. This doesn't mean you have to be passive, speak your mind and do it honestly. But also be ready to accept the lifestyles, choices and decisions of others even if you find it to be silly or ill-advised.

Inspiration Take the blame: This is extremely hard but it earns you millions

of inspiration 'brownie' points. If you want people to find you inspiring, revert the bad that others have done onto you and blame it on yourself. Blame yourself for more bad that comes onto you. This in my opinion is the most admirable feat that anyone can do. It also tends to soften the hearts of those who you don't like, and you automatically step up higher onto the platform of admirable feats.

Take stupid risks: And never regret it. Bravery is something

that many people wish they had more of. If you can demonstrate this, then people will feel your sense of courage and self belief.

Because almost all human beings want these qualities, they will be drawn to you because they believe that you will be able to exert these traits onto them. Oh the marvels of silent learning.

Sacrifice: Be ready to sacrifice things for others. Give up the top

bunk at camp for somebody else, give your best sweater to your sister to keep not borrow. When people give up things that they love for others, the recipient immediately feels a sense of trust and admiration for the giver. They also in turn see their selfish side and will want to look for you for guidance and advice.
