Passion Portrait #BeSomebody

Leave a comment

ROXIE and ROSALIE BARDO are in… #besomebody.

Roxie Bardo and Rosalie Bardo have always shaken their heads at the status quo. “Ordinary” has never been interesting. “Expected” is where Passion went to die. Growing up in a small southern town, they wanted to free themselves from the familiar, and chase their craziest dreams… Now, taking on the Entertainment business and spearheading philanthropic platforms, they are paving a Path and a Purpose that’s growing bigger every day. Rosalie’s four children’s books will be hitting the shelves next year, and Roxie’s debut EP – which earned her a nomination as female vocalist of the year for the 23rd annual LA Music Awards – is now available on iTunes.

Join The Fight: Spread Awareness : Human Trafficking

RosalieBardoHumanTrafficking

Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery. It affects every country around the world, regardless of socio-economic status, history, or political structure. Human traffickers have created an international market for the trade in human beings based on high profits and demand for commercial sex and cheap labor. Trafficking affects 161 countries worldwide.

An estimated 20.9 million men, women and children are trafficked for commercial sex or forced labor around the world today. 

Utilizing the power and influence of music, film, and celebrity –> MTV EXIT is a cutting edge and innovative media campaign that aims to raise awareness and increase prevention of human trafficking and exploitation.

 We need YOUR help to encourage greater awareness, stimulate a global conversation, and inspire change.

Human trafficking has become the second most profitable crime in the world creating a $32 billion industry: more than Nike, Google and Starbucks combined.

Victims do not agree to be trafficked – they are tricked – lured by false promises – or forced. Many are kept as slaves; starved,  punished and beaten into submission.

The trafficker takes away the basic human rights of the victim: the Freedom to move, to Choose, to Control his/her body and mind, and to Control his/her future.

Trafficking in CHILDREN

 Trafficking of children is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of children for the purpose of exploitation.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children states that there are 100,000-300,000 American born children likely to be victims of human trafficking each year.

The International Labor Organization estimates worldwide that there are 246 million exploited children aged between 5 and 17 involved in debt bondage, forced recruitment for armed conflict, prostitution, pornography, the illegal drug trade, the illegal arms trade, and other illicit activities around the world

Success

MalibuBeachRosalieBardo

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.

Training The Mind

Leave a comment

By thinking of all sentient beings as even better than the wish-granting gem,

for accomplishing the highest aim, may I always consider them precious.

                   Wherever I go, with whomever I go,may I see myself as less than all others, and from the depth of my heart,

may I consider them supremely precious.

May I examine my mind in all actions, and as soon as a negative state occurs,

since it endangers myself and others

,may I firmly face and avert it.

                                                    When I see beings of a negative dispositionor those oppressed by negativity or pain,

 may I, as if finding a treasure, consider them precious, for they are rarely met.

Whenever others, due to their jealousy,

revile and treat me in other unjust ways,

may I accept this defeat myself,

and offer the victory to others.

                           When someone whom I have helped,or in whom I have placed great hope, harms me with great injustice,

may I see him as a sacred friend.

 In short, may I offer both directly and indirectly all joy and benefit to all beings,

my mothers, and may I myself secretly take on all of their hurt and suffering.

May they not be defiled by the concepts of the eight mundane concerns,

and aware that all things are illusory, may they, ungrasping, be free from bondage.

Passion

“Do stuff. be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. stay eager.”  ― Susan Sontag
