I tend to take things to heart. I am serious about our need as a country, world, and individuals to do something about poverty, discrimination, and upholding rights of all individuals. I think people need to care more. People think I care to much. I cry easily. I have worked with abused, neglected, and abandoned children. I personally know people who have been trafficked. I have seen mothers sell their children to survive. I found Roma (one such child). I lost Lenuta (another). I have friends who have died of AIDS alone in hospital rooms in secluded wards. I plan to spend my life trying to right the wrongs I feel in the world.
This blog is a compilation of my thoughts. A lot of it is about work, about human trafficking, about ethical issues I run into, about my frustration and the hope I see. Some of it is Photo Wednesday, a weekly photo that inspires me to question, think or just sit in awe. Some of it is about food– because, let’s face it, I love food. Some of it is random, stuff I run into or do while procrastinating.
I welcome comments. I welcome other people’s thoughts and questions. I will not take bigotry or hatred on my site. I will erase any comment that I deem inappropriate. Feel free to poke around.
Hmm... Well, this is the first year I am trying my hand at this. If it works it will double the amount of my writing as I usually blog about 16-17 days a month. That said, my first hassle is not even the blogging. It is that I can't get the NaBloPoMo badge to work on wordpress. Anyone have any suggestions??

Keep fighting the good fight, Clare. I plan to take you up on your contest, but I'll need to think you some prizes. Great idea! Good for Random Acts of Kindness week.
