A United Journey For Humanity Community Doctrines
"People, individuals, humanity are a gift...
their stories, their tears, their laughter,
their lives are the greatest gifts to this world!"
-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."
-Author Unknown-
"Do not just survive,
but survive WELL!"
-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
"If united we dare to envision it
there is no reason that
UNITED we cannot achieve it."
-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 (original www.myspace.com/desertstarlight8 and permanent www.myspace.com/aunitedjourneyforhumanity) 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 4,600 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 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!”
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.
