Let every vision you have be turned into something wonderful. The beauty of our natural habitat away from the noise is meant to be explored, in all it's spherical beauty. Don't hide anything in your art, when you do anything go to the limits and above.
Seriously, and be committed to it, because none of us was created to waste time on things that will never be. Why start something and not finish it? Time is too precious in these days to waste.
Why have potential if you won't even use it?

Something to ponder.

When God Fearin' Women Get The Blues
There ain't no slap dab atellin' what they're gonna do
Run around yellin' "I gotta Mustang, it'll do eighty
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby!"

I cannot begin to describe the feelings I have, so I will not try too. Oh no, they are not negative, in fact...I feel new discoveries coming to mind. Peace...love...joy....yes those are all wonderful things, we all want to feel them, we all take our own approach to achieve them. The wonder of being a unique people.
Mistakes- We all make them, and not of a one of us can get on another for theirs without being labeled a hypocrite for that reason alone; not that we have not all done it at one point or another.

The story of dA- I first arrived as a foolish sixteen year old, who wished to show people "Hey I love to write." Eventually after many events transpired, I realized my job is not to fulfill my own needs alone, but to help with the needs of others and help encourage someone when their day is not looking it's brightest.
I will not claim to have done the best job, but I love it when I see someone's gloomy state taking a change for the better, whether it was inspired by something I did, or something someone else did, it matters not. Only that it happened.

This place like any place has it's negative aspects, but why focus on those things? Why do we always focus on the negative and in turn make ourselves so utterly miserable? Perhaps it is a part of our nature, perhaps it is just something that we all do without necessarily realizing it. Whatever it is, I came to another realization a long while ago. It does NOT have to be that way. We cannot blame anyone if we feel bad, not really because you either allow them to make you feel that way or you don't.
This community has many talented, smart, and all in all wonderful people whom I have enjoyed watching, getting to know, and being inspired by.

War- A result of our human pride.

Love- a Result of either feelings or unconditional tolerance, or both. Whatever it is it's beautiful. you have to admit that.

As far as tonight goes, I love you all dearly, much as I like most anyone. I realize we cannot be friends with everyone...that's just reality and not everyone will like you, that is alright; what matters my dears is that you hold the ones who do love you close.

I would rather leave these words with you all and be forgotten forever, and swept into oblivion than for any of you to go to bed with a heavy heart tonight:
You are important, you are loved, you are treasured. If only one person treasures you, so be it, you are therefore treasured. If the rest hate you but one reminds you of the place you hold in their heart, then you are important. I am not trying to sugar coat everything, this is not a 'feel good' session. I am aware we all have faults. I am aware the things of this hateful mean spirited world that have driven many to their knees, to the brink of death even. I see it all around me, I see the negativity this society thrives in. That is all many of us know, it is all we are shown! How can we bash and harass someone if they feel such things if it is all they know? If they do it out of ignorance, because no one bothered to show them what a special being they were? How could I of all people jump on anyone for what they believe? How can we expect someone will listen to us and our opinions if we will not listen and tolerate theirs? How can we be tolerated in general if we will not tolerate?? Riddle me that! No I am aware of the negativity, I do not write these journals so I can sugar coat your day with fu fu la la goody goody junk. I say these things because this is what I believe (And note you have every right in your free will to disagree) This is how I believe people should be treated. It is a better way to show them what kind of potential they hold, what kind of dreams they can fulfill. In return thanks to my Lord's grace, (Whether you believe in him or not is your choice) I feel because of this I have found the will to love and tolerate, NOT because of me! I could just as easily let the world's vibes bring me down into the pits of society's materialistic self centered cess pool!

When you go to sleep tonight, remember someone cares about you. And think about what matters to you, your loved ones, your dreams, all of the wonderful things that are around you everyday whether you notice them or not. And no matter what happens, I will remember each and every one of you, you treasured beings, not for any faults you have, much like the ones I share with you, no way hosea. I will remember your talents, your beauty, your personalities that were different from everyone else. The people who dared to dream no matter what. I would rather die a thousand deaths and be in a place of paradise and wonder, and be where there is no hatred and contempt, then to have all of the so called splendors of the world.

Our loved ones, we hold them in our hearts for ever. I love Ka'eth and my daughter so much it hurts. I would sooner fall asleep in poverty with them in my arms then have anything this world can offer. Physical beauty, it fades. Our personalities, they remain forever. That is why, this is what is shown.

You all have the potential to rawk this world and bring it to it's knees! That counts for everyone here on dA and everyone else I have known. For any faults, they are forgiven. I am the most mistake making human you'll ever meet. For any truths, they are all revealed in due time, for each and every person alive. For every challenge you offer me, I will gladly take it now, isn't life about taking a challenge? How will we learn things otherwise? Ka'eth has taught me so very much by challenging me alone!

For everything else is history, let's all jam, and live life to it's fullest!!
You know who you are, now get to rawkin'!
I love you all, and will hold you in my heart for ever. No matter where I go or what I am doing.

Love, Peace, and happy St. Patricks day to ye all. I didn't forget my Irish roots. (wink)

Every night before I fall into my dream, you tell me never to forget you. Do you know what I begin to remember then? Our times, that is what I call them. Everyone has their "Our times". Just memories that we know cannot be in our future, but we carry them with us anyway.
How could I forget you silly goose? How could I forget the crazy cool times? You must be insane. Shall I spell it out for you my love?
When I couldn't sleep that early September morning, you took me to the park and we pretended the castle was our home. The man with the stick was our maid sweeping the floor. When I got morning sickness you bought me Starbucks, not realizing the acidity of coffee. When you wanted to do a dare we broke those beer bottles thinking we'd never be caught; But were chased by a dog instead.
You showed me the mountains I showed you the woods; And the ducks, whom you did not find impressive, because you're so funny. That time we went down state, we drove in circles not realizing how lost we were. I had to go pee, Phoenix was kicking me. You were the one with a good sense of direction, I wasn't. I peed in the field under the stars, water soaked through my slippers, and you got car sick; But we rawked the night away until three fricking AM.
Remember when we danced in that Arby's, when I danced while waiting for the traffic light to turn red so we could run across the street? You my romantic bought me KFC, you wanted to see me eat because I caused a ruckus with the smoke alarm at your apartment. I was so embarrassed, but it did not matter. The bees tried to steal our food, but what made it the best was when you kissed me at every stop sign; And then the man who yelled us a congratulations when we kissed all the way home from that Denny's on the hill.
You held me when I cried. You kissed me when I got sick. I thought you were gross; But you did it anyway to prove your love. Remember the stadium? The city lights, and when we arrived to my home? The greyhound bus, the lady who didn't like us? The couple in Missouri we made laugh just so their night would be a little brighter? You wore my cowboy hat and looked so silly, I just adored you.
Remember when you never gave up the chase? I told you no, but you spoke another language, to you it meant yes. The morning we tried to build a fire near the woods and the police officer questioned us. I got sick that morning; We laughed all the way home, and figured out that afternoon why I was ill. Phoenix Rain made herself known finally. You stood by my side, and took care of me when I had our daughter.
Do you know when things get rough I just remember the 'Our Times'? What about the movie we watched tonight? I wanted to jam! So...never forget me, because amnesia itself couldn't make me forget you.

Keep your loved ones near, make your night count, you'll be alright. If Adversity comes your way, only love can overshadow it. Do not give up!!

Love,
~Sav'

Something beautiful may come your way. Simply have faith...Celebrate the day.
Find a talent...even if it be one string....let your heart free....don't be afraid to sing.
If today was your last...would you live it in the past?
They say you have to walk in my shoes...why would I get the blues? Your shoes only fit YOU!
However there's still compassion... in a unique fashion....I only live because of His wonderful grace...for if it were not for Him my life would not change.

Whatever you see....make it true....whatever you believe will be true to you.

Now....go eat and fullfill thyselves....red beans and rice, or pasta shells. I don't care!! Just as long as you smile, I pray you all be blessed...don't give up yet...there is still SO MUCH to learn!

(BELCH!)

Lovin' you all.

A night of hope and restoration. All things will happen in due time because they were meant to happen. Perhaps we should start analyzing all of our situations, as are. Maybe then, we will know, why. Even if we never do, we should find ourselves in a humble place anyway, because why bother staying low? You and I cannot change the future, we can only make our present as best as we can; Because it may help make for a brighter future. It's so good to stop and think sometimes. I am very tired; But I want to leave you all with some words that have always encouraged and kept me in line. I myself try never ever to forget these words. I hope to read them with my love on our wedding day:

"If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be?

And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; But if I didn't love others, I would gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, boastful, proud, or rude. Love does not demand it's own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge, will all disappear. Now we know only a little, but the gift of prophecy reveals only a little! But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear.

It's like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put childish things away. Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me.

There are three things that will endure- faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love."
-Apostle Paul.

May 1st

Although the night is young and hopping.. we need our rest for a refreshing new day. Ah I grow weary of this world.. it's pride and greed.. ridicule and smut.. but what can I say? We're all a part of it, we might as well make the most of it. Besides tonight rawks, know why? Because there was an important lesson most of us learned.. whatever it is.. take it to heart.. it will do your future well. No no, I am certainly not Miss Know it all, am not pretending to be either. However I learned that one smile or laugh, especially that of a child can make me forget any issue I ever had. It doesn't work for everyone; but just around the horizon is your cure for the blues whatever it may be.

How do we define success in this society? Stupidly. That is all I know (well think, opinions, subjective and all that good stuff.) Our jobs, so? Everyone has one whether they get paid that green crap (purple if you live in Canada eh) called money. Our status? So? I lost my reputation since getting pregnant with my daughter. Frankly I do not care only because like all of you I am making up for the mistakes I have made. She is no mistake though. Reputation is defined by our material wealth.. our looks... our whatever. We have potential.. ALL of us. So as far as we are concerned those things are just temporary nice things to have. We all get old and wrinkly and look like sandwich bags someday. What have we done that is nice or relevant for others lately? Ha ha do not think for one moment I am saying I have done the world a favor and the rest of you should too. I am certainly not. When I say 'we' I include myself. We shouldn't be so focused on the center of ourselves.

If anyone takes this as an attack or gets offended, maybe they should work on not getting offended so easily. I don't hate anyone, nope. And I never will. For the rest of you... and I say it for the millionth time. I love you all. Goodnight, Ka'eth and I want to spend the nights together watching over our Phoenix and planning for the future. Love you , good night!

"I am broken as can be, saved by grace; Not by anything good I have done, and positive for the sake of my Lord's strength. The world may make me cry, but it will never make me quit. Why do we give up? Why everyday do people give up? There is no reason to. Only will you truly fail if you give up."

Love is a 'gas'!

"Oft have I seen at some cathedral door
A laborer, pausing in the dust and heat,
Lay down his burden, and with reverent feet
Enter, and cross himself, and on the floor
Kneel to repeat his paternoster o'er;
Far off the noises of the world retreat;
The loud vociferations of the street
Become an undistinguishable roar.
So, as I enter here from day to day,
And leave my burden at this minster gate,
Kneeling in prayer, and not ashamed to pray,
The tumult of the time disconsolate
To inarticulate murmurs dies away,
While the eternal ages watch and wait."

Piece from Divina Commedia... Longfellow.

Say what you will about anything you wish. Think what you will, for the power of thought can make it seem as though it controls our very being. We can do what we want, but in the end, how has it done us any good? How has it benefitted our fellow man? If we cannot answer these questions with a good positive response... we got some 'splainin' to do. Or are we merely here on this earth for show? You tell me.. We are the only ones responsible for what we think and feel, no one else.

"So let them talk about us, let them call us funny things, people sometimes do. Oh I don't care as long as you know I love you, and you know I do."

Tonight some wonderful things happened! Ka'eth and I have talked and it has made me feel so wonderfully inside. We've been discussing the future non stop now. I am going to school now! I have been studying with Phoenix Rain by my side; although she falls asleep whenever I read from my school books, so she probably finds it a snooze cruise.

Ka'eth and I have been busy with our endeavors, some of which people have not been informed of, mostly moving related business. Summer is approaching fast, so let's all get ready for the beach and fun. Time is flying DeviantArt. Cherish every moment... Oh and one more thing.............................

DON'T BLINK!

Stop hitting yourself.

May 8th- Holy swiss cheese, this thing has gotten long enough to be a novel in and of it self! I like it though... It has a good writers feel to it. Although I imagine if I don't do something about the length soon, it may cause some trouble. We wouldn't want that. Lord knows this world has enough of it!

There is a time for peace, a time for relaxing and taking it easy.. amongst all the wonders of working, and everything else... yes that includes playing bingo with your granny.

Anyway... Ka'eth has said he will be the first reviewer of my latest work; which is probably about forty chapters away from being finished! So let's give him a big fat kiss for that. I didn't know if he'd do it; he likes to read, but then he and I differ on much. Well maybe save for reading material. I like to expand genres much like himself when it comes to literature. I love our differences though, it keeps things interesting. We don't agree on a lot; but it works out for our compatibility for some reason. The best part is, it works out for both of our projects! I have finished three books... hopefully successfully... ah yes, the main point of all of this dribble... I wanted to give a special thank you to all of the wonderful writers I have known in my short little life. When I started out here at rock bottom, your inspiration, endless talent, and potential kept me going! I don't want to be at the top, but without the encouragement of you all, I may not have made it this far in my latest! The world needs inspiration! And three square meals a day!

Go rawk on! Ka'eth is engaged in this game he and my brother in law have begun to explore online. He has asked me to join him, and I'd love nothing better. The click clack of the keys is keeping our little pumpkin awake besides. It will be a nice break from editing that book all evening! Ha ha peace out hippies and conservatives!

There she is. My sleeping beauty. Her daddy and I have never been so honored to help along a little being. She is my sun beam, our little munchkin. She can play for hours and never tire. Her laughter makes us all double over. Even though we may look like fools while we prance around, put on little shows for her, read her colorful story books; we love every moment of it. As she rests her daddy drinks his iced coffee, and I finish up the evening chores. She has no idea, does she? That she will someday rawk this world. If we can help it anyway. (wink)

Keep eating those rootin' tootin' beans ya'll!
Peace out,

Instead of thinking of how a trial could be a detriment to your life, why not think of how it could benefit you and others?
