The Only One I Love

A Story that will inspire you as well as have you feeling the emotions of the character!

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? Good I hope. It is July 19, 2011 and it's 1:48 p.m. eastern time.  I know that it has been a few months since I have written on this blog. I must say that a lot has been going on as of lately. Today I want to write a blog called The Only One I Love.

 As a little girl, many of us have our own perceptions about what we think love is. Often times these perceptions are given to us from our parents, the music we listen to, the movies, cartoons, and TV shows that we watch. Then as we grow up and gain more experiences, we get our perception of love from other sources as well. We can be influenced by our environment, the people we hang around, and our experiences. Life sometimes teaches us lessons that we prefer not to learn when it comes to loving someone.

I had one lady in church tell me one time baby you are too young to be settling down with one person. I often times asked why would she say this? At the time I was in high school when she told me that. I often wondered what happened to people pursuing the one person that they love. Isn't dating a whole bunch of people at the same time creating a future male or woman cheater? How could a man take a woman seriously if she is dating a bunch of men? Some people have also told me not to put all your eggs in one basket. Why not find that one person and give all my love to that one person? Why not take the risk of loving someone? Why not allow the goodness in me to shed a light in that person's heart? Why not show that I am a great woman worthy of marriage, love, and respect?

Often times when little girls grow up they experience things like a man lying to them, cheating on them, sexually abusing them, hurting them, verbally abusing them, ignoring them, rejecting them, etc.... Often times these women experiences betrayal from family members, friends, boyfriends, and other people they allow in their heart. The question is, how does a person heal from a combination of hurt and pain. What if the person do not trust people enough to reach out? What should a person do to become healed from their past? Sometimes it takes one person to come into your life and show you that they are genuine and actively seeking you out. Sometimes it takes someone to look you in the eye and say "You're the only one I love." Note that your actions have to line up with the words that you have spoken. Show love to that person and that person can heal. Love is the thing that can heal a person. By showing in words and deeds that you are the only one that he loves can make a world of difference in her life. Love changes things, people, and circumstances. The story called the Only One I Love is a story that I first wrote when I was in high school. Recently I decided to go through my old writings and improve them. I improved the story to reflect the different things that people who are single and in relationships experience. It's a story about life that will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen. Check out the video trailer!

Writing History

Hello everyone. It's February 8, 2011 and 3:17 p.m. Today I'm still examining my life and the lives of those who I'm proud of. As I began to think about my life I have some things to be proud of. I'm proud of my ancestors. I'm proud of the things that many African American people sacrificed so that we can have a better life. I'm proud of traditional and contemporary heros.

I decided to create an poster in honor of the black people whom I am proud of. I'm proud of many people. In the picture, 99.9% of the photos are in black and white. The reason why those photos are in black and white is because all those people have accomplished great things in life. The only picture that isn't in black and white is the picture of myself. You may ask why isn't the picture of yourself in black and white? Are you boastful or arrogant? Do you think you are better than the rest of the people? The answer to all these questions is no. I don't think I'm better than anyone. The reason why the photo of myself is in color is because I haven't accomplished much. This is the season of my life where I need to get up and get some great things accomplished. I'm ready to walk in the calling that God has on my life. Though I have not accomplished as much stuff as the one's in the black and white photo I'm ready to get started accomplishing things so that I can began writing my history. I want to be written about because of great things I've accomplished. Whether it be because I impacted someone's life through counseling, writing, singing, graphic design, giving, helping, or just by reflecting Christ's love into other peoples lives.

There are many people I'm proud of. The people in this photo I've never really had the opportunity to meet them except for Ty Adams. I have met her and she's an awesome woman of God. Some of these people are dead and gone while others are alive. The ones that are alive I pray that God blesses me to be able to meet them. I also pray that they see this blog and have a smile upon their faces and feel honored. We should give honor where honor is due.

I'm proud of what Martin Luther King Jr did, in being brave enough to stand up for what he believed in. He stood up for freedom, equality, and justice. I'm proud of Madam CJ Walker who invented the pressing comb. I'm proud of Harriet Tubman who sacrificed her own life to abolish slavery. She was the Moses of her days and she loved God as well. I'm proud of Rosa Parks for standing up for what she believed in. She felt that she is just as good as other people and should be able to sit in the front of the bus. She felt that she shouldn't have to move just because someone had white skin. I'm proud of Bishop Butler for being an great example of faithful and serving many years as Pastor of Word of Faith International Christian Center. I'm also proud of the fact that he teaches the Word of God with power and has been a great example in the body of Christ. I'm proud of Stevie Wonder for not allowing the fact that he was blind to stop him from singing. Stevie Wonder is one of the greatest artists today. I'm proud of Cece Winans for being an example of what a true black woman of God should be. I'm proud of the fact that she sings for the Lord and the Lord only. I'm proud of the fact that Nat King Cole is one of the greatest love song singers. The majority of his music is good clean love songs and I admire him for that. I'm proud of Langston Hughes because He was a very talented black poet and famous for a poem entitled "A Dream Deferred". I'm proud of Maya Angelou because she was a very talented black poet who was famous for poems called "Still I Rise and Phenomenal Woman." I'm proud of Oprah Winfrey for being one of the most successful black women in America, starting her own talk show and later starting her OWN which is her own network on television. I'm also proud of the fact that Oprah is a giver and doesn't overlook the poor. I'm proud of Tyler Perry because his story really inspires me. Tyler Perry went through a lot of pain in his life. He was molested and became homeless. He went from rags to riches. I'm proud of all the things that he has accomplished and even while still serving Christ. I'm proud of the fact that Tyler Perry gives other Black people a chance who society or Hollywood may have neglected. Tyler Perry is a great example of how you can live if you trust God. I am also proud of the fact that Tyler Perry has his own Studio as a black man and don't have to go through Hollywood to come up with films. I'm proud of President Obama for being our first black president. Obama being president let's me know that I have no excuses. If Obama can become president I can accomplish everything that I desire to do in life. I'm proud that Obama is standing for change and is trying to create jobs for those that don't have them. I'm proud of Ty Adams for preaching the Word of God and changing the lives of young women in this world and teaching them how to sustain from sexual desires as a single woman. America has come a long way. There was a time that black people were not even able to read books. Now there are black people writing book. That means a lot. Ty Adams, Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Bishop Butler have all accomplished something that I desire to accomplish and that is write and publish books and create films that will impact the nation and change lives.

I'm proud of myself as well. Yes I am. I'm proud of the beautiful and intelligent woman I have become. I don't say that boastfully but I say it because I know who I am in Christ. I am a new creature in Christ. I'm proud of the fact that I am a woman who has an Associates Degree in Business, Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Communications, and Master's Degree in Psychology. I'm proud of the fact that I'm a black woman. When others have put me down and talked bad about me, God didn't give up on me.

One thing that I have in common with all of these people in this photo is the fact that we are all black and have or had a specific purpose or calling on our lives. I'm proud of every person who is on this picture and it does my heart good to see that they are walking in their purpose. I too want to walk in my purpose. Some of these people have written their history (Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Nat King Cole, Madam CJ Walker and many others not in this photo). While there are some people in this photo who are in the process of writing their history (Bishop Keith A. Butler, President Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Cece Winans, Stevie Wonders, Ty Adams, and myself (Shawne Jackson) and others who are not in this photo).

The people in this photo are black men and women who have written their history or writing their history. My name is Shawne Jackson, I'm a black woman and I'm writing History.

Accomplishments & Goals

Today is Saturday, February 5, 2011 and 9:25 a.m. I want to start off by saying thank you God for waking me up this morning. The Lord is truly good I must say. He allowed me to live another day. I must say that I am truly blessed. So how are you all doing? Good I hope.

Yesterday my mind began to reflect back over my life. Throughout the years I have accomplished many things that many in my family have not accomplished. I am the first person among my cousins on both sides of the family to get an Associates Degree, Bachelor's Degree, and Master's Degree. My Associates Degree is in Business, My Bachelor's Degree is in Graphic Communications, and my Master's Degree is in Psychology. In December of 2010, I graduated with my Master's Degree in Psychology. I am the Trendsetter in my family. I've always been the unique or the different one. I believe that God has set me aside for His own use. I am looking forward to God working things out on my behalf. I'm the only one in my family who sings, writer, and do Graphic Design.

I've noticed in many cases that sometimes families as a whole are called by God to do different things. For an example, the Winans are called to Minister the Word of God through song. Bishop Butler, his wife, and children are all called to be Pastors, Leaders, Ministers. I often wonder what is it that my family is called to do? It's really difficult to tell because the majority of my family all do different things.

For now, I am called to be an student until God tells me otherwise. I've just enrolled at Walden University to get my Master's Degree in Counseling. The reason why is simply because God placed a strong desire in my heart to help and assist other people. I wanted to go on and get my PHD in counseling. However, I couldn't because they said I would have to have an Master's Degree in Counseling. So my plans is to go back to school, get my Master's in Mental Health Counseling and then get my PHD. Then I would like to go back to school and get my Degree in Christian Counseling and Theology.

Outside of school, I have accomplished some things. I created the ShamonjTV1 online show. I've manage to find my identity online and created several fanpages. Online I am known as Shamonj. I've gotten started on writing some books. I completed a book called The Power in Prayer of Faith. I've started conducting research to find out exactly what love is. Love is the greatest force in this world. I have started writing another book called Captured Image: How Do You See Yourself?

It's 2011 and a New Year. I'm ready to make some changes in my life. These are my goals for this year.

1. Spend more time with God

2. Find Me A Job in my Field

3. Start my own Business

4. Create an Website

5. Get my Business License and Tax ID

6. Get back into College

7. Finish Writing all the books I have started

8. Publish the Power in Prayer of Faith

9. Get a Make Over

10. Lose Weight and get in shape

11. Move out of my parents house

12. Get my drivers license

13. Go to the Army

These are 13 things that I would like to accomplish this year. I am praying that God help me to do these things as I put forth the effort. I am Shamonj, the Trendsetter. I am ready to tackle all of these goals one at a time. I thank God in advance for helping me to tackle every goal. Hallelujah! Thank you Lord Jesus.
