THANKS!!!!

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 became a united front of over 5,500 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. As of June 2008, Chase has begun to fill-in as guest host for Greg Norman on his syndicated talk radio show, "Dare To Dream" (www.universal7radio.com/Home.php).

Beginning in 2009, Chase is launching our A United Journey For Humanity's philanthropic foundation in order to aid heroic individuals/causes/organizations, gifted artists, and creative innovators across the globe even further. In conjunction with the launch of the foundation, A United Journey For Humanity’s online international magazine will premiere at www.humanityunite.com which will have 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!”

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 a World Ambassador and Co-Lead Global Contact for The Goodwill Treaty For World Peace (www.goodwilltreaty.org) in which he authored. In only a few short months, The Goodwill Treaty For World Peace has been signed by thousands across the globe which includes Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Don Cheadle, Ray Romano, Jason Alexander, Charles Barkley, Montel Williams, Susaye Green, Bibi McGill, George Noory, Paul Gardiner, and preeminent Cancer Researcher Dr. Gregory Cotter among so many others. Chase was also 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.

My Doctrines:

"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."
-Author Unknown-

"Live Life don't let life live you!"
-Author Unknown-

"Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived..."
-William Butler Yeats-

"Do not just survive, but survive WELL!"
(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. :-)

I believe it is one's sacred duty to use one's strengths, as well as, one's adversities, to help others in a world that can heart wrenchingly sometimes be focused on one's self rather than its rightful place which is on our community and its humanity.

People, individuals, humanity are a gift...their stories, their tears, their laughter, their lives are the greatest gifts to this world! ;-)

I am inspired and in awe each and every day by every individual, every cause, every artist, every creative innovator....it humbles me...I believe if united we dare to envision it then there is no reason that united we cannot achieve it...with our united journey of humanity....in every sense of the word....we can and will achieve PEACE....

Wild Fact About Me I am the Founder, Publisher, And Editor & Chief of a positive empowered international community called "A United Journey For Humanity" http://myspace.com/desertstarlight8 and it's sole purpose is to shine a bright light on the EXTRAORDINARY humanity that still gloriously exists in the world.

The community runs three weekly featured series entitled "My Heroes, Our Heroes, Humanity's Heroes" "The Gifted Artists You Should Know" and "Creative Innovators Advocating A Global Difference."

We are a united community of diversified individuals, organizations, causes, artists, and creative innovators that believe in making a difference in this world and preserving life of all the creatures of the Earth great and small.

We believe PEACE will prevail.

I am also a World Ambassador and Co-Lead Contact for The Goodwill Treaty For World Peace that was authored by Bryant Mcgill www.goodwilltreaty.org, and a Survivor Participant in The Voices & Faces Project www.voicesandfaces.org which I was honored to be featured with 3 others survivors (including the Founder, Anne Ream) in People Magazine's Heroes Among Us series in March of 2006 and also interviewed and had a feature Op-ed in the Chicago Tribune in support of the organization and survivors.

I was beyond humbled when civilrights.org picked up a segment of my Op-ed and posted it on their website.

I have a few more lovely things on the horizon. I just feel so tremendously blessed and grateful to be a part of this endlessly magnificent world!
