I No Longer Color My Hair -A Memoir

Tess is a young woman living an amazing life, only she doesn’t know how amazing it is. Plagued with self-doubt, low self-esteem, major insecurities, and multiple phobias, she goes through life living in a self-induced hell.

When her father dies from a tragic accident she experiences loss, but mistakes it for abandonment. She falls into the arms of men, attempting to find love, marrying multiple times – each man exactly like her father.

Just when Tess thinks that her life can’t get any lower, she is hit with a string of personal adversities, each worse than the one before it. She feels lost, alone, and desperate to end it all at her own hand.

Feeling like an amateur boxer in the ring with Life, she is no match for her opponent. She is intensely unprepared, with poor coping skills. Her tool box is nearly empty except for booze, men, and excuses to remain a victim of circumstance.

• Does Tess have what it takes to pull from deep within the strength and courage to take action to change her life before she kills herself?

• What happens to raise her awareness that if it doesn’t kill you it can only make you stronger?

A Song for Me- Eclectic, Beautiful Susan E. Henry

Susn E. Henry

An eclectic blend of poems, A Song for Me is the debut collection from poet Susan E. Henry.

Prevalent in Henry’s poetry is the theme of nature, but other poems explore romance, relationships, spirituality, and pure whimsy.

The works collected in A Song for Me have been composed over a span of twenty years, and illustrate the range of the poet’s inspirations.

Introduction

I am certain I’m not alone in this. At some point, it has happened to all of us. You live through, or bear witness to, a moment and experience this feeling. A feeling of , “Oh, wow, something amazing is going to happen as a result of this,” and then once it does, with soaring spirit you exclaim, “I knew it!!!”
That moment plays out for me in the following pages. Too many years ago to admit, a fellow classmate shared with me, her poetry; poetry which stirred my soul with how beautifully our own native tongue could be penned; poetry which expressed life with such simplicity and poignancy that it left me with an insatiable thirst for more. I knew at that moment this was something destined to warm and beautify our world.
A touch of color where too often everything is black and white, a calming escape, an excuse to slow down, and look around. A Song for Me is a stirring collection of such poetry, which you could never just sit down to simply read, but sit down to simply feel. Take some time to really soak up some life within these pages.

Take some time, and maybe notice life in a way that you have never noticed it before, or sit back in your chair and sigh in agreement. “Ain’t that the truth.”

THE MORATORIUM ON SELFISHNESS WALK

Author/Motivational Speaker Jovan Roseboro walks from Fayettesville, NC to Washington, DC in an effort to encourage selflessness amongst Americans.

Fayyetteville, NC – Jovan Roseboro, author and speaker, will begin the “Moratorium on Selfishness” campaign on Thursday April 23, 2009. A walk that is expected to take 15-20 days beginning in Fayettesville, NC and ending in Washington, D.C. While traveling Jovan will be keeping written and audio records of his travel as he encourages people to be more humane to one another. Mr. Roseboro ask that all recipients of this release forward it so that the message is dispersed throughout the region prior to his arrival in the nation’s capital.

Updates on Jovan’s progress and his location from day to day information will be loaded daily to www.changeispossible.bravehost.com. When available video will also be uploaded to http://www.youtube.com/user/JovanRoseboro. Those willing to sacrifice their time and body to the campaign are encouraged to meet Jovan on the road and join him, those who are unable are asked to during the 15-20 period perform a selfless act for a person in need within in your own community. These acts should continue to pay it forward is Jovan’s desire.

Mr. Roseboro attributes his motivation to spearhead such an undertaking with little resources and finances to Pres. Obama, he believes that showing children an ordinary person making an extraordinary sacrifice will encourage others to be more selfless. Jovan considers this his contribution to the change that our country desires and needs. His devotion to the project mirroring the title of his book “The Only One Who Can Stop Me Is Me”, Jovan has began this journey alone. Whether others join him on the road or not is not as important to him as the acts of servitude and philanthropic spirit that he is trying to be a catalyst for.  Hourly updates are also available at https://twitter.com/jovanroseboro

A Beauty In God’s Hallowed Crown

A beauty in God’s Hallowed Crown,

Your spirit is a jewel to behold,

A diamond sparkling in the sun,

Very precious in The Lord’s Sight.

An emerald casting a complacent glow,

Illuminating all with your heavenly smile.

Giving serenity to the world,

Needing your beautiful smile.

Garnets are your beauty inside,

Adding iridescence to your family and friends.

A beautiful personality is the ruby,

Flaming love within in your heart for all.

A Beauty In God’s Hallowed Crown,

Making the world happier with your smile,

You have brought the world richness,

Only heaven jewels can supply.

When I Think of You- A Poem

When I think of you a thousand lightening bolts

Pierce my heart

Touching me to my very core

Rainbows glow brightly on the cloudiest days

Palpitating beats, my heart

Races to remain steady

the skin on my face glows

Out of control

Like iridescent light bulbs
