I Open...
My heart and mind to be aware...the energy I give to what I do determines if my actions are healthy or unhealthy. One reason we work so hard is that we are afraid. Few people will admit it, but most of us live in fear that we are not going to achieve our goals, receive the results we expect or fulfull our heartfelt desires. It is this fear that causes us to engage in a power struggle with God. If you really believe that you have to do it all, what do you think God is doing or can do for you? When you feel yourself getting overwhelmed by feeling like you have to figure it all out or have it all together...RELAX!!! And declare Today I am devoted to not doing what God can and has intended to do for me!

George Washington Carver
After reading about the life of Geogre Washington Carver, not only did I learn about his plethora of inventions made from peanuts and sweet potatoes. Also, I found that Mr. Washington was an inquisitive person who worked diligently to find all the answers; giving up was not an option! This helped him to become an expert! Not only an expert, but being the best at what he loved: Nature. His story is truly inspiring to a young entrepreneur like myself!!2.15.2010
A note on Love...
Love is never wanting to lose faith...never wanting to give up...and never truly moving on. Love is knowing and praying in the deepest part of what's left of your heart that they feel the same
~CourtneyJo Wright
Perfect love is rare indeed...for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar, and the fortitude of the certain.

Seisyn's Favorite Poem By James Langston Hughes
Children, I come back today To tell you a story of the long dark way That I had to climb, that I had to know In order that the race might live and grow. Look at my face -- dark as the night -- Yet shining like the sun with love's true light. I am the dark girl who crossed the red sea Carrying in my body the seed of the free. I am the woman who worked in the field Bringing the cotton and the corn to yield. I am the one who labored as a slave, Beaten and mistreated for the work that I gave -- Children sold away from me, I'm husband sold, too. No safety , no love, no respect was I due.Three hundred years in the deepest South: But God put a song and a prayer in my mouth . God put a dream like steel in my soul. Now, through my children, I'm reaching the goal. Now, through my children, young and free, I realized the blessing deed to me. I couldn't read then. I couldn't write. I had nothing, back there in the night. Sometimes, the valley was filled with tears, But I kept trudging on through the lonely years. Sometimes, the road was hot with the sun, But I had to keep on till my work was done: I had to keep on! No stopping for me -- I was the seed of the coming Free. I nourished the dream that nothing could smother Deep in my breast -- the Negro mother. I had only hope then , but now through you, Dark ones of today, my dreams must come true: All you dark children in the world out there, Remember my sweat, my pain, my despair. Remember my years, heavy with sorrow -- And make of those years a torch for tomorrow. Make of my pass a road to the light Out of the darkness, the ignorance, the night. Lift high my banner out of the dust. Stand like free men supporting my trust. Believe in the right, let none push you back. Remember the whip and the slaver's track. Remember how the strong in struggle and strife Still bar you the way, and deny you life -- But march ever forward, breaking down bars. Look ever upward at the sun and the stars. Oh, my dark children, may my dreams and my prayers Impel you forever up the great stairs -- For I will be with you till no white brother Dares keep down the children of the Negro Mother.

What is Love?
Love is temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what Love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Love is having roots that grow toward each other underground, and when all the pretty blossen has fallen from the branches, you discover that you are one tree and not two.
~ St. Augustine~

Seisyn's Favorite Love Song
Loved you /Lost you/Though I'd give you all the best of me/ We departed/Brokenhearted/I need to be free/What we had was oh so loveley/I'll swallow my pain/It's my time to find the best of me

Notions of The One...
Find a man who calls you beautiful instead of fine, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lay up just listening to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you go to sleep. Wait for the man who kisses you on your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, and who thinks you are just as pretty or even prettier without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU...wait for the man that turns to his friends and says, thats her...
