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

Mimi L. Jacobs – Life on Life’s Terms

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 …

Touch The Beauty Inside

Touch The Beauty Inside

I may look different on the outside,

You can never capture my beauty inside.

God gave me a more precious gift

Beyond the eyes of your seeing.

Touch The Beauty Inside Of Me,

Look not for reasons to hurt with cruel words.

My heart can hurt as yours would,

Causing sorrowful tears to fall.

We can make a better tomorrow,

By joining our hands together,

Helping another win in their battles,

While planting God’s healing seed.

God gave us all the special gift,

To share our love abundantly.

Together we can make a difference,

To the struggling world of woe.

Touch The Beauty Inside Of All,

Lending a helping hand in need,

Using God’s special gift,

Making another person’s life better.

If I Never Try

If I Never Try

I will never reach the mountain top

If I don’t attempt the climb

One foot forward,

One step closer

To the approaching finish line.

I may never touch another’s heart

“Dancing on Broken Glass” is a compilation of painful, yet, humorous stories by R.F. Maldonado. He chronicles his life in his graphic NYC memoirs of a life gone totally wrong.

He tells of his childhood molestation at the age of ten on an East Harlem rooftop, his NYC teen street-gang years, a twenty-five-year heroin addiction, and the formation of his

R. F. Maldonado

“Having been clean and sober more than 21 years of my life at this writing, I firmly believe that it was all a part of God’s grand plan for me to live while so many had to die… and possibly for two reasons.

I believe the first reason is for me to be able to pass on the message of hope to others still suffering from any addictions.

Once I became capable of understanding that I wasn’t just simply weak or crazy, but that I

Voices

Lost to dreams of Yesterday
Lost to Desires of the Heart
Lost in a World of Broken Promises
Lost in time and Space
Love is Lost to the World I misplaced

Once I soared beyond the stars

Beneath the Fallen Snow

Another year has come and gone
Full of memories, laughter, and such
A dash of sorrow here and there
Loved ones we’ll miss so much…

All things green, are barren now
Just longing to venture and grow

Sweet moon
Bright illumination
Giving silent appreciation to
the souls below

Oh!
