Theresa Flores, my co-author for The Slave Across the Street, http://amzn.to/9ZQieN  began the S.O.A.P. campaign. The S.O.A.P. initiative sends free bars of soap with the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline number imprinted on them.

The reason? Hotel bathrooms are often the only location girls are permitted to be alone.

About 40,000 bars of soap were recently sent to hotels in Indianapolis due to Super Bowl traffic. At least four girls were rescued, Flores said.

Theresa was an upscale Detroit teen when she was drugged, raped, and blackmailed into being trafficked for sex. She is possibly the only voice from a victim and today she champions freedom for all.

During his recent State of the State speech, Ohio Governor John Kasich presented Flores with the Governor’s Courage Award.

Well done, Theresa.

Favorite over-the-counter beauty products:

Almond Oil – closest moisturizer to your skin’s natural oil. A $10 dollar bottle lasts six months used daily on face and body

Evening Primrose Oil – Feeds skin and hormones

Black Cohosh – Combine with Evening Primrose Oil to eliminate hot flashes

Yellow Dock – Plant based to increase iron without the pesky constipation side-effect

Flax Oil – Taken internally, smoothes upper arm skin that may be bumpy

Water with lemon – hydrates and keeps kidney stones away

Bag Balm – Apply for always kissable lips

Simple acts that make life in winter easier:

* Keep mittens and neck scarf stored in coat pockets

* Store ice scraper in the car

* Drop keys in designated spot when coming in the house

* Have bag balm in car for dry lips (works for dry hands, too)

* Place snow saucer in back of car to use when you find that awesome snowy hill

Here is an enlightening painting along with commentary as you move your mouse across the faces.

Janelle Froehlich is the reason I will be at the theater opening weekend for the next installment of the Twilight Saga.

A talented young woman, Janelle can dance, sing, act, write, play music, and take fab photographs. She is a Renaissance artist. The fun part for me is that I was around while she was growing up. It’s an “I knew her when…” moment.

In fact, the whole Twilight series became interesting to me when Janelle got involved. I think that’s a good reason to be in my seat with my favorite dark chocolate go-to-the-movies candy bar treat on opening weekend.

My long-time friend was married in a magical destination wedding at DisneyWorld. A splendid setting to begin their happily ever after surrounded by family and friends.

Words I would put in the happy couple’s wedding card include:

1) It is grand to be loved and be in love

2) Live each day full out

3) Marriage is about making the dreams of both of you come true

4) Better than cell mates, marriage partners are soul mates

5) Laugh, touch, celebrate, love

Wishing you every joy!
