Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

Embarrassingly enough this quote is my own. It's kind of disconcerting to quote myself, but these are the words I live by and hope to help other survivors to live by, as well. :-)

whose powerful voice is speaking volumes especially with her signature abuse anthem Pero Lo Amo "....
" Pero Lo Amo is an aggressive song to try and persuade young victims to escape their abusers and defend themselves with force if necessary. It is written as a Rap Song in an attempt to speak to young people in a language they will understand and appreciate."
I always have been and always will be an individual that speaks exactly what they mean and I only ask that others do the same. Although sensitivity and tolerance are imperative, clarity of ones thoughts, actions, and words should always be considerately provided and ambiguity should be respectfully relinquished.
I will indeed fight for what I believe is right and if I have to, give my life in order to protect the innocents and abused of this world, as well as, the ones I love and everyone's unalienable right to liberty and freedom.
First, I really LOVE a "Pretty Good Life" from the "Happy-Love+Sex+Hope+Dreams" album by Mark Miller and it is the first tune that plays on my song list.
Mark Miller gratefully has become a phenomenally dear friend and he is without a doubt one of the most gifted musicians, storytellers, and song writers of our time.
Mark Miller's music and lyrics move me like no other! To purchase Mark Miller's album on Amazon just click this link Happy-Love+Sex+Hope+Dreams
Listen for yourself, Mark Miller went from a complete unknown to a top 10 selling indie music artist in a blink of an eye.
has got to be the most profoundly relevant written songs of all time. Its lyrics shine true even more today than the day he wrote them (please look under my "heroes" section because all humanity should be left with these words).
When is this world going to realize that tolerance is the only way we are going to live in freedom and peace?
I also really enjoy this gifted up and comer that I found recently on myspace:
and his rendition of "Please Remember Me."
Paul will not have to be remembered because with the courage, strength, and grace of a lion he will indeed beat MS and make this world a better place due to his gifted talent and work on behalf of finding a cure.
10% of Paul Nicholas' album goes to
The Montel Williams MS Foundation for MS research. MS effects as much as 500 thousand people in the US alone and with your help we can find a cure.
Please buy one of Paul Nicholas' songs for 99 cents at AirgoMusic for me and tell all your friends to do so, as well. You can find Paul Nicholas by clicking the Artist's button. Paul is on the far right.
Click on ALL the Gifted Musical Artists & Hilarious Comedians in my MySpace Friends and check them ALL out--I PROMISE that you will truly enjoy each and everyone of them.
Jazz-Billy Holiday (My favorite song is Someone To Watch Over Me) and Nina Simone but ALL JAZZ!
All ROCK from U2 to Neil Young, the Stones to the Who, the Dead To Zepplin, Elton John to James Taylor, Queen to Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton to Creed, John Mellencamp to Jimmy Buffet, Peter Gabriel to Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp to The Tubes, Dick Holliday & The Bamboo Gang to Tumbleweed etc.
Alternative like Nickelback (If Everyone Cared is playing on profile) , Train, Soundgarden, Gin Blossoms, Goo Goo Dolls (Iris is playing on profile) etc.
The Blues like #3 Blues Band
which is with one of my dear friend's label
,
Harvey Mandel, Buddy Guy and B.B. King.
I love blasting Phantom of the Opera while driving with my top off my jeep down L.S.D. with Lake Michigan to my left and the lights of the city to my right and the moonlit sky above me.
(click photo to see "live" webcam of Chicago's Lake Shore Drive-must have java script enabled to view)
I also adore listening to music while the trees are waving to it's beat under the bright and shining stars at
(click to learn about it for yourself
It makes you feel absolutely grateful to be alive and how vast the universe really is!
I could see live music every night of the week and die happy! ;-)
(this is roughly a 4 year old photo of some of my friends and I at Ravinia--it's the best I could do :-)

The above movie "Sara's Song" is not available in theaters as of yet, but with your help this poignant and pertinent story of a courageous child sexual assault survivor and her journey will become a reality. A large portion of the revenue from this movie will be donated to RAINN & SOAR who have both given the movie their endorsements.
I love all the genres and I am a HUGE movie fan. Anything from today's movies to the old silver screen black and whites.
My DVD player gets worn out with the number of movies I watch:
Love Actually (Bill Nighy is Brilliant!) , Sweet Home Alabama (Josh Lucas & Patrick Dempsey-who could ask for anything more? ;-) , The Sweetest Thing, Someone Like You, Bridget Jones, Down With Love, Emma, Kate & Leopold, As Good As It Gets, LadyHawke, Never Been Kissed, Ever After, While You Were Sleeping, The Wedding Date, Happy Gilmore, 50 First Dates, Amazing Grace & Chuck, Brokeback Mountain, The Last Time I Committed Suicide, Syriana, Good Night & Good Luck, Braveheart, Gettysburg, Memphis Belle, Independence Day, Must Love Dogs, 40 Year Old Virgin, JoonBug, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, St. Elmo's Fire, Serenity, Crash, The Remains of the Day, Caddy Shack, Godfather Trilogy, Rocky Horror Picture Show (I don't consider this horror, it's Indie at its best) , etc.
Any half way decent Vampire or Horror Flicks (Yes, embarrassing oxymoron! LOL!) :
Resident Evil I & II, Shaun of The Dead, Scream Trilogy, Lost Boys, Underworld I & II, etc.
Anything with Cary Grant (especially his screwball comedies with Katharine Hepburn by his side):
Arsenic and Old Lace (my very fav Cary Grant Flick), Bringing up Baby (the following 3 are with Katharine), Philadelphia Story, Holiday, An Affair to Remember, Charade (with the other Hepburn), His Girl Friday (Grant & Russell's Front Page), Topper (Who better to come back and teasingly haunt yah?), To Catch a Thief (No one had more Grace), Talk of the Town (With my other Fav Ronald Coleman), That Touch of Mink (Doris Day bedroom comedy), My Favorite Wife, The Bishops Wife (David Niven made a great Bishop to Cary's Angel), Notorious, Indiscreet, Monkey Business (yes, with Marilyn).
And one must never leave out Audrey Hepburn's performance in one of the greatest movies of all time, "Breakfast At Tiffany's"
I found V to be terrifyingly reflective of where our government is rapidly heading:
I bet if you asked our forefathers (freedom fighters) they would react the exact same way.
TIVO is my life! YIKES! LOL!
I am a CNN, FOX, MSNBC, junkie.
I love the Sci-fi Channel (yep a geek at my core LOL ;-).
I truly enjoy Entourage, Weeds, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Nip Tuck, Prison Break, Heroes, 24, Boston Legal, Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, NUMB3RS, Ghost Whisperer, Battlestar Gallactica, Doctor Who, Tourgasm-SuFi.
I just finished the Dark Angel & Wonderfalls series and I am now watching the Miracles & Point Pleasant series on DVD. Passes the time while awaiting my silly surgeries
(yes, I do indeed read constantly, as well! LOL! ;-).
Anything from On The Road To Sun Tzu.
All time Favs are Catcher in the Rye and Brave New World (not just because Huxley was a brilliant and courageous writer/human being that crushed all imaginative barriers, but because his story is a despicably brilliant precognitive example of a work of Fiction that is barreling towards a terrifying Non-fictional existence) .

Interview On Judyth Piazza's
"The American Perspective
The Incomparable Judyth Piazza
who is referred to as the
"Italian Oprah"
interviewed our Founder
Chase (Lesley) Barton
for her cutting edge radio program,
"The American Perspective."
They discussed the roots of
A United Journey For Humanity
and what this positive empowered
international community within the
MySpace community has become.

The American Perspective
Radio Program
Who is Our A UJFH Founder
Chase (Lesley) Barton?
Chase (Lesley) Barton has always believed it was one's sacred duty to use their strengths, as well as, their adversities to try and make some small positive difference in the world. This driving belief came from the immense love and great respect she has for her heroic late father, Arthur Barton, and the desire to follow his legacy.
An Activist and former Political Consultant for Congressmen and Campaigns, Chase (Lesley) Barton created A United Journey For Humanity which is a positive empowered international community within the MySpace community.
A United Journey For Humanity was conceived in late December 2007 as her own personal way to create awareness, show appreciation, recognize, and honor the love, compassion, and humanity that still gloriously exists and flourishes.
In only a few short months the all volunteer international community has become a united front of over 4,700 members and has a skyrocketing devoted readership from inside and outside the MySpace realm. A United Journey For Humanity runs three bi-weekly human interest series, "My Heroes, Our Heroes, Humanity's Heroes," "The Gifted Artists You Should Know," and "Creative Innovators Advocating A Global Difference,†and it’s only the beginning. In Summer 2008, Chase is launching our A United Journey For Humanity's main online international community/human interest magazine website (www.humanityunite.com) with an abundance of more series, features, and interviews along with a broadcast radio show, in order to shine an even brighter light on the positive impacts the community members and features are making with their extraordinary actions and creative gifts for the betterment of humanity and the world each and every day.
A United Journey For Humanity’s motto is:
“If united we dare to envision it there is no reason that united we cannot achieve it!â€
Chase (Lesley) Barton is also a sexual assault survivor who tries to help bring other survivors out of the shadows of shame and blame by writing an op-ed that was featured in the Chicago Tribune last year, as well as, openly speaking out in interviews in the Chicago Tribune and People Magazine's Heroes Among Us series in March 2006 Oscars Edition (www.voicesandfaces.org/article_people.asp) as a Survivor Participant in The Voices And Faces Project, founded by Anne Ream. Chase was recently asked by revered internationally acclaimed poet, celebrity consultant, international satellite radio personality, and magnanimous philanthropist Bryant McGill to be an U.S. Ambassador and Co-Lead Contact for The Goodwill Treaty For World Peace (www.goodwilltreaty.org) in which he authored. Chase was also recently interviewed by the “Italian Oprah†Judyth Piazza for her cutting edge radio show “The American Perspective†(www.thesop.org/article.php?id=10083) where she passionately speaks of these endeavors more in depth.
For nine years, Chase (Lesley) Barton had multiple surgeries, fighting her way out of extreme chronic pain, to recover the full use of her legs due to a back injury. The last three of those nine years Chase lovingly cared and tended to her outstanding father in-home hospice up until his passing in May of 2006. Following her father’s death, after a long hard fight and numerous specialists insisting it could not be done in December 2006, Chase had her final four back surgeries which after much painstaking rehabilitation has given her the ability to not only be mobile without the necessity of a cane or wheelchair and be pain free, but to participate in athletics and have the ability to joyously dance, once again. Chase expresses daily that if humanity follows their heart, is proactive, and never gives up, they can and will accomplish anything.

Doctrines
"If united we dare to envision it
there is no reason that
UNITED we cannot achieve it."
-Chase (Lesley) Barton-
"People, individuals, humanity are a gift...
their stories, their tears, their laughter,
their lives are the greatest gifts to this world!"
-Chase (Lesley) Barton
"We must be willing to not only walk a mile in someone else's shoes,
but to help carry them a mile in their shoes."
-Chase (Lesley) Barton
"Do not just survive,
but survive WELL!"
-Chase (Lesley) Barton-
"What lies behind us and
what lies before us are small
compared to what lies within us."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson-
"Our deepest fear is not
that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness,
that frightens us most.
We ask ourselves,
'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, and famous?'
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that people
won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
it's in all of us.
And when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson-
"I've learned that you shouldn't
go through life
with a catcher's mitt on both hands;
you need to be able to throw something back."
-Maya Angelou-
"I expect to pass through this world
but once.
Any good, therefore, that I can do,
or any kindness that I can show
to any fellow creature, let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again."
-Stephen Grellet-
"We gain strength and courage and confidence
by each experience in which we really stop
to look fear in the face...
we must do that which we think we cannot."
-Eleanor Roosevelt-
"Truth is Freedom."
