News Potpourri: New Poetry, Instagram Photos & A Potential Fall Appearance

New Poetry

Reappearing Act

Manhattan Magic by Ali Cockrean

Memories and longing became replaced
by survival and focus
and the terror of intentional grace.

And they died,
in their ways.
Hearts beating danceless patterns to flatlined spirits.

{Continue reading HERE}

Joy's latest poem, Reappearing Act speaks of the almost miraculous resurrection of youthful innocence and the reunion of two estranged spirits. Exploring Joy's thoughts through art is incredibly fascinating - and I love how she takes us through a beautiful story from beginning to end in less than 200 words. Her style is eccentric, honest and just all around beautiful - I'm still waiting for the official announcement of her poetry book...

Instagram Goodies

Given that One Tree Hill filmed its new seasons in the summer, it's appropriate that Joy seems to be enjoying the time off with her daughter and just buzzing around Los Angeles. If her pictures are any indication - Joy seems at peace.

(By the way, I know I'm not alone in saying I hope Joy instagrams a photo of herself actually in the photo).

Momentum of Love

On September 20th, Love146 will have a 10th Anniversary event in New York City celebrating the Momentum of Love. I'm not positive if Joy will attend but given her close work with the non-profit organization over the last years, there's potential that she will and I'm hoping that she does! Regardless here's an official description of the tremendous event:

On September 20th, advocates and friends will gather in New York City to celebrate the momentum of the past decade and support bold steps to grow this work of Love in years to come. Child, Sex, Trafficking: These three words should never be used in the same sentence, much less be a reality for many of the world’s most vulnerable. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed 150 years ago, thousands of children, not only overseas but here in the United States, are still enslaved in the sex industry. Building upon our success in Asia, funds generated at this event will support Love146 in growing prevention education and launch aftercare for survivors here in the United States.

This Gala Evening & VIP Cocktail Reception to end child trafficking will feature a musical performance by Grammy Winner Vince Gill and special guests includes Alec Baldwin and Dianne Wiest.

News Update: Bethany Joy Lenz & James Lafferty Reunite for Charity

Bethany Joy Lenz and James Lafferty as
Haley and Nathan Scott 

Beginning Monday, August 20th, 2012 Shoe Revolt will be holding another celebrity shoe auction with proceeds benefiting victims of Human Trafficking. Earlier this year One Tree Hill alumni Kate Voegele and Elisabeth Harnois took their shoes off for our auction. We now have the pleasure of auctioning shoes donated by Bethany Joy Lenz and James Lafferty. Considering their long time on-screen relationship as One Tree Hill's Nathan Scott and Haley James we couldn't help but auction their shoes together.

Bethany Joy Lenz is a singer/songwriter, actress & writer that has teamed up with Seychelles shoes to donate an autographed pair of wedges by BC Footwear to Shoe Revolt. She was recently photographed at the Matt Leinart Charity Bowling Event in which she wore the identical wedges. Bethany is a huge advocate for Human Trafficking and has been working with organizations like Love146 for years. Her dedication to the fight against Human Trafficking is inspiring and Shoe Revolt is so pleased that she has extended her generosity to our cause.

James Lafferty's fans know firsthand that he has a huge heart for giving. For 4 years James hosted the annual One Tree Hill Charity Basket Ball Event to raise money for various charities in and around Wilmington, North Carolina where his show was being filmed. James has selected and autographed a pair of Classic TOMS to help Shoe Revolt take a stand against Human Trafficking.

Shoe Revolt is incredibly grateful for donations from both Lafferty and Lenz. The funds generated from the sale will provide much-needed support for programs in the United States that assist survivors of the commercial sex trade. Most victims are women and children, and once rescued, they have nowhere to turn to gain the necessary resources for survival. Donations like Bethany and James' allows Shoe Revolt to continue supporting programs for survivors to ensure that they remain safe.

To bid on Bethany or James' Shoes before someone else snatches them up, visit us on Twitter or Facebook for auction details.
