Red Market and Black Gold Market are Other Names for Organ Trafficking

Red Market and Black Gold Market are Other Names for Organ Trafficking

by Lillian Lake | | Stop Trafficking

Sex trafficking and labor trafficking are more widely researched and discussed, but another area of trafficking is organ trafficking. I first heard about  “organ harvesting” in the early 2000s, but that was long before I heard about human trafficking....
Once You Know Something You Can’t Unknow It

Once You Know Something You Can’t Unknow It

by Lillian Lake | | Stop Trafficking

  Two of my favorite credos are “once you know something, you can’t unknow it” and “just because you see can’t see something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.” When I do presentations on human trafficking, I find that...
Moving Forward into the New Year 2023 with Faith, Hope, and Trust

Moving Forward into the New Year 2023 with Faith, Hope, and Trust

by Lillian Lake | | Spiritual

The past year, 2022, was incredibly challenging, and maybe you found it that way, too. There were the passing of loved ones, concerns for friends in countries experiencing severe uprisings, recovery from my shattered elbow, and moving through COVID, not once, but...
Joy is the Lantern that Lights the Way

Joy is the Lantern that Lights the Way

by Lillian Lake | | Building Community, Spiritual

“Joy is the lantern that lights the way through the dark times and the motivator propelling us toward dreams.” (Moss) Carols are playing in the background of pre-Christmas festivities. The tree that stands so proudly in front of me is gaily lit with the...
The Lesser Known Traditions of Mumming and Cristmas Crackers

The Lesser Known Traditions of Mumming and Cristmas Crackers

by Lillian Lake | | Building Community, Food

A conversation with a shopper in T.J. Maxx inspired this post. The shopper was admiring a festive display of Christmas crackers. Not the kind of crackers you eat. These are the kind that holds a surprise inside and is made from a paper tube and decorative paper....
Christmas Card Greetings for the Grieving

Christmas Card Greetings for the Grieving

by Lillian Lake | | Building Community, Grief, Spiritual

Grief lies between the light and the dark.  Grieving is especially hard during the holiday season. Seeing sparkly tinsel, shiny gold and silver ornaments, or even light-adorned trees takes significant effort and may even be impossible. For many, Christmas cards hold a...
Hope is built by People Doing Acts of Justice in an Unjust World

Hope is built by People Doing Acts of Justice in an Unjust World

by Lillian Lake | | Building Community, Spiritual

Do you consider November as the charitable giving month? There’s a November day dedicated to giving, and that day is Giving Tuesday. It is always the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Since its inception in 2012, nonprofits have raised more than $1.9B. November...
Giving is Simply Good for Our Souls

Giving is Simply Good for Our Souls

by Lillian Lake | | Building Community, Spiritual

Thich Nhat Hanh, a philosopher known often as the “father of mindfulness,” wrote, “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”  Sometimes a smile is all the connection we need. I once...
November, Have You Seen My Heart Somewhere?

November, Have You Seen My Heart Somewhere?

by Lillian Lake | | Building Community, Spiritual

Recently, I have had several random conversations about November. Many people expressed that they dread November because daylight hours are fewer, and they get depressed from not getting enough sunlight. Most of them said special indoor lighting helps and knowing that...
Autumn Evenings – How did it get so late so soon?

Autumn Evenings – How did it get so late so soon?

by Lillian Lake | | Building Community, Spiritual

A few nights ago, I was preparing for a presentation. When I looked up from my computer, I saw the sweetest sky “ribboned” with stripes of bubble gum pink and baby blue. The kind of sky that makes you sigh and wish all of life could always be that sweet....
