Don Savant Confession: I Almost Gave Up

I used to frequent the message boards on Tyler Perry's website. I'd been silently fighting my worst bout with depression at that point. I was on the edge, literally about to jump over. In a moment of desperation I reached out on the forum. At the rate people posted there, I knew I wasn't going to get a reply from anyone. Almost immediately, I received an e-mail from 3 individuals encouraging me. One in particular started keeping a check on me daily. She informed me a few days into our correspondence that she'd looked me up on the net and found some of my poetry. She used the very thing i was blessed with to turn around and bless and encourage me. Not a week later, I ran into a gentleman at work seeking to find out how he could have his upcoming book carried in our store.

After speaking with him, he gave me the info to contact his publishing company. If it were not for Tyler Perry's website, the young lady that reached out to me and the gentleman that shared his info with me, Don Savant's Book of Poems, Sonnets and Vows for Relationships and Weddings and all that I have done after it may not exist. This is a shining example and testimony of how God will send you exactly what and who we need right when He knows we need it the most. Don't give up on your dreams y'all. They are placed in you for a reason. Things may get bad...it may seems as if there's no way but He will always make a way for you if you just hold on.

I hope this blesses and encourages someone.

What Are You Looking For?

So many of us go through life searching...for something...yet we have no idea what it is we seek. Look to God first and He will give you direction.

The New Don Savant Biz Card

I would like to introduce you to my latest creation...My new business card.

I wrestled with what to put on it, as I didn't want to put too little, then I didn't want it too crowded either so I decided to leave off my e-mail address?

Why?

Well because my e-mail is already flooded on a daily basis with so much stuff and I didn't want to chance missing a potentially important e-mail. Also, because when giving out the card, it gives me the opportunity to vocalize my e-mail address to the person personally. When they look at it and say hey, your e-mail address isn't on here, I can tell them that I can be contacted viz the social media options that I included and that if they want to e-mail me directly, it's don.savant@gmail.com. Then I get the opportunity to see how serious that person really was about contacting me by finding out if they actually remembered it or now if and when the e-mail comes through.

Makes sense to me.

Anyway. Here it is!!! I'm ready to pass these things out already!!!

It's time to make life what I want it to be!!!!!!

Get Up!!!

When I was in high school, my mom used to wake me up every morning and I would just lay there trying to gather myself. Every minute she used to peep in telling me to get up. I'd always respond by saying I'm up!!! She'd say...you're awake but you're not up!!! On your feet!!!

There are so many of us that are awake but we refuse to get up...we refuse to stand up and do what needs to be done in order to move forward. We have to stop allowing ourselves to believe that there's nothing better out there for us. We were created by greatness to do great things. It's all about purpose. Find that and you'll see all things in life start to make sense. Get up y'all!!!

Random Thought

On the road to building something great, and thinking about you every step of the way.

I know I shouldn't, I'm not supposed to...but I do. I love you with every breath I take, with every stroke of my pen thoughts of you are released and it shakes the core of my soul every time I write.

I love you.
