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

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 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 Read the rest of this entry »

Time to recognize the view of my life
Riding a carousel with
An uphill gradient;
Destination filled with oppression
and no possible progression!
Time to eradicate the black clouds
stacked against me
As if life fell apart – I felt my brain implode!
Oh, no!!
Enraged, inflamed;
Gone insane!
Time to defy, to magnify,
to rectify …
Stirred to attempt to nullify
the jangled waste of my life!
As it all fell apart,
Sleep elusive
Dreamless existence,
Able to examine and correct the
State of my confusion!
With renewed conviction I embarked on a more
Positive Expedition … Read the rest of this entry »
