Posted on September 19, 2026 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Human trafficking strips away a person’s freedom, forcing them into labor or commercial sex against their will. When a child is exploited for commercial sex, it is always human trafficking, no matter the circumstances. The wounds left behind—both seen and unseen—can haunt survivors for a lifetime, stealing their innocence, their dreams, and their basic human rights. The United Nations’ International Labor Organization estimates that traffickers prey on 27.6 million people around the globe each year. This staggering number calls for bold, united action to shield vulnerable communities and support children who have suffered. Only by working together across borders and……

This week, we introduce our guest with a quote from Karmic astrologer Dora Jones: “Each of us comes into life with a promise, a gift, a passion, and a deep, heartfelt desire.” The promise is your soul’s mission, the lesson you are here to master. It is a vow to yourself to overcome, resolve, or heal a part of your inner world. Your gift is the unique offering you bring to the world. It forms the foundation of your self-determination and the journey to becoming your truest self. Passion is the spark that drives you to chase what brings……

What happens when you have to be light in the darkness? “At night, the ocean can be a huge dark place. When riding the seas, you can never know for sure if the water will be calm or turbulent. You never know if you will drift off course or run aground. That is why there are lighthouses. When ships lose their way, they are guided by the lighthouse. When there is trouble or danger at sea, you can seek refuge by the lighthouse. During a storm, the lighthouse will always guide the ships safely to shore. Best of all, there……

In the words of life coach and award-winning author Iyanla Vanzant in her book Until Today, written in 2000. “Society, with its structures, expectations, and divisions, has fostered certain ideas about women that are not always flattering. Many people believe that strong women are not feminine and that assertive women cannot be trusted. My all-time favorite is that women who exhibit any degree of clarity about who they are and what they want are dangerous. We won’t bother to mention the myths that women are not as smart as men or cannot handle money. The point is that some people……

Ray Bradbury, in Fahrenheit 451, says, “Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child, a book, a painting, a house, a wall built, or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way, so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you’re there. Dara Horn says. “Every person has a legacy. You may not know your impact, and it may not be something you can write on your tombstone, but every person impacts this world.”……

Moments of Mindfulness: A place to call home with Suzanne Hanger.

Posted on July 25, 2026 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

I agree with the saying, “A house is not a home”. Home is more than bricks and mortar. Home is a feeling, a place we make with friends and family. A home provides refuge, joy, peace, and safety. A home knows when it’s you turning the key. Someone said it, “Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends.” So, how do you discover that special place where, as your head sinks into the pillow, your soul finally feels at peace? I am glad you asked. Meet Suzanne Hanger, “Your Broker with a Side of……

From an outsider’s perspective, it looked like “Santiago” was simply a rebellious kid. At Second Story for Teens in Crisis, however, counselors worked on getting to know him and learning why he was acting out. He opened up and the counselors were there for him, helping him rewrite the narrative for his future. When Timothy began attending Second Story’s Safe Youth Project he was struggling in school. The program coordinator worked to tutor him in the subjects he found especially challenging, and at the end of the school year he won an award for his hard work and progress! When……

This month, Frankly Speaking shines its spotlight once more on phenomenal women, exploring how we navigate our shared journeys, weathering both rainbows and storms with unwavering courage and resolve. We are a journey unfolding, a process ever in motion. Even in stillness, we move—loving, serving, nurturing, encouraging, empowering. We are love in action.

For a woman to truly see that she is more than a……
