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

Inside my thoughts, my bleeding soul
I struggle from time to time
While others stand by, watching, pointing

Candalyse Publishing Gets a Facelift

April 2008 proved to be a record breaking month in the history of Candalyse Publishing, the independent publishing company founded by Miriam L. Jacobs.

Inspired by the desire to help other authors and poets get published, as well as a need to raise funds for her granddaughter’s surgeries, Mrs. Jacobs was inspired to launch her own publishing company in March 2007. Just a few short months later,

New Release: Trapped in My Pen

Beautiful Melissa R. Martin releases

Trapped in My Pen to a positive reception.

Born in Pound, Virginia to a loving family, Melissa is a coal miner’s daughter. Growing up in a family which provided love, nurturing, kindness, and respect, she fell in love and married. Little did she know she’d spend the next 18 years of her life fighting for survival at the hands of an abusive chronic alcoholic.

Trapped in My Pen is the poetic, triumphant journey from

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

What Is the Solution?

The solution to a majority of our problems is quite simple. Think that you can. You might ask, “Tell me this, what good can come from negative thinking?” You’re absolutely right, none.

You probably have been in situations in your life when you pushed and pushed for something you wanted really badly. If it was a car or home, you probably worked extra hours, picked up a second job, sacrificed vacations; whatever it was, you did not let negative thinking keep you from accomplishing your goal. Whenever you reached your goal, you felt like a million dollars.

Are You Searching?

Human beings are constantly in search of - something.

Many of us are unaware what it is that we are searching for until we actually find it. It is at this time that the proverbial bright light bulb goes off in our heads and we say “That’s it!” Most of our lives, we are in search of inner peace, contentment, happiness, tranquility and joy.

Yet sadly, for many individuals, the search for serenity and peace is as elusive as catching a rabbit in a fox hunt.

Your search is over!
