there really a key to happiness? Is anyone ever really happy? What
makes us happy today may not make us happy tomorrow but next week it
might make us happy again. I mean are we really meant to be happy in
life or is the key to exist in each moment and not concern ourselves
with the future? It seems like when we imagine what will make us happy
in the future our present happiness is compromised and we then become
unhappy. When does it end? Will there ever be a time where we reach a
state of true happiness or is this all a lifelong game that we can never
win? Just a thought....</span></span></h5>
</blockquote>
For me, the key to happiness is all in your mindset. "Are people ever really happy?" Yes, there are a lot of people who are successfully navigating through life defining their own meaning to happiness. The question for me is, "Is your happiness based on what you see someone else have that you would also like to possess, or is it based on your idea of a perfect life for you? Happiness is living in your truth in EVERY moment. I agree when you say, "What makes us happy today may not make us happy tomorrow but next week it might make us happy again." I experience happiness with people, places, and things at the exact right time in my life. For me, happiness is a mindset. <br />
<br />
Knowing that each trial is meant to be a lesson leaves me happy that I'm worthy of instruction.<br />
When I'm hurt or let down, I'm happy that I was given clarity.<br />
If things don't work out the way I would have liked to see them work out, I thank God for leading me out. <br />
<br />
In ALL things, even in the tribulations, I remain happy. What is happy? Is happy smiling all day while dying on the inside? Is happy having all the money you need to attain the material possessions you desire? Is happiness being at the right job, getting the recognition you want from your peers? We each define happiness in, perhaps, a different way. The happiest person is the one who is living each moment, aware of the future, reminiscent on the lessons of their past, and present in their "right now."<br />

I love you, and there's absolutely, positively, nothin you can do about it!!!<br />

I stumbled upon some YouTube videos of Pookz and DZ, better known as Studology101. I decided to reach out to these two experts within the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer) Community to help me bring closure to this relationship. After I sat and watched their videos, I couldn't believe that they were so young yet so on fire and so passionate about serving others.</span></span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My initial interaction with them was separate; I talked to Pookz on the phone before I had ever talked to DZ, and it felt like I was talking to my long lost kin. It is rare that I interact with young adults and have this feeling. I immediately knew after talking to DZ that I needed to be a part of their lives. The similarities in how the three of us communicate, articulate our words, and subjects we were well versed on....I knew this was the moment I had been praying for.</span></span></i><br />

Some sites contributed her odd behavior to drugs while others claimed she suffered from schizophrenia. A friend of her mother Bebe Moore Campbell reached out to the website Black Web 2.0 and revealed that Maia had actually been diagnosed with bi-polar/manic depression and since substance abuse is involved, she has symptons that are similar to schizophrenia. She also revealed that your prayers have worked as Maia Campbell is currently in treatment:<br /><br />Maia is in treatment. And she said that there is hope for Maia’s recovery but the prayers of “50,000,000″ people can make the difference, because Maia doesn’t like to stay in treatment, and her treatment involves drug withdrawal as well as treatment for her disorders. She asked me to tell you that Maia’s disorders are exasperated and sent out of control by substance abuse. Pre-existing and early onset bi-polar, clinical depression and schizophrenia can be sent out of control by marijuana (the worst culprit), alcohol and of course, synthetic and street drugs. Maintain your hope for Maia’s recovery. Nancy said, “She can use her beauty, talent, and celebrity for the good of others.”<br />This is good news and I truly hope she stays in treatment. This has been on-going for the past few years. Props to comedian Lil Duval for starting the “pray 4 Maia Campbell” trending topic on twitter. Prayer works!

The critic will question the order and structure of the direction of her journey; in her writings, she seems to be on her way to attaining spiritual enlightenment on one day, but she is wracked by depression a mere twenty-four hours later. Still another reader will accept her story as is, but would condescend to tag her as a victim or a “poor, poor thing,” someone to be pitied and felt sorry for. Finally, a different soul will be enthralled by her overcoming the demons of her past to becoming a successful entrepreneur, writer, and motivational speaker.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >Dawn would not have it any other way.

What rivets you to <i>Dear Diary</i> is the very fact that it is indeed <i>not</i> hyperbolic. There is no exaggeration in this story; in fact, Dawn has publicly stated that <i>Dear Diary</i> is perhaps no more than one-third of the story. The story elicits a wide range of emotions from the reader - sadness, anger, pity; humor, refection - because it is not pulp fiction, but one hundred percent truth. The streets of </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >Hollywood</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >, </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >Compton</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >, and </span><st1:place><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >Westchester</span></st1:place><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" > are all real, and you feel the grit of this realism as you read. <b style="">Because of this realism, <i>Dear Diary</i> grabs you in its beginning pages, and holds you closely and tightly, with you scarcely able to breath, until the very end. </b>It is multi-directional and choppy because the directions of our minds are often multi-directional and choppy - especially the minds of the young. We would like to think in order, but often we form our thoughts haphazardly, seeking to find forms in the disorder - “<i>eidos</i> in the <i>chaos</i>,” as Plato once said. We seek unity and order for our souls and thoughts. <i>Dear Diary</i> is a glimpse into one woman’s successful attempt at finding that order.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >Does Dawn appear to be up and down throughout the pages, mind-of-a-saint on one day, mind-of-a-sinner the next? Yes she does. Dawn reveals, in her up-and down writing, the heart and mind of so many of us. In <i>Dear Diary</i>, she visibly struggles with herself, with her family, and with her God. This internal conflict is honorable and to be commended, not dismissed. After all, the Scriptures themselves tell us that God renamed the patriarch Jacob “Israel”-meaning “<i style="">one who struggles with God</i>”- after an impromptu bout of God versus man. The difference between Dawn and any of the rest of us is that Dawn, in this novel, has put her spiritual wrestling match on display for all of us to see. <b style="">She shows us how she asked profound questions at an early age regarding God’s sovereignty, man’s free will, and how the two could harmonize.</b> She allows us to see inside of her, inside her heart, mind, and soul. <b style="">Through her family, friends, schooling and personal tragedies, she reveals to us-in a manner not unlike Job-how “bad things do happen to good people,” and what one can do about that inevitable fact</b>.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >Dawn, in this writing, has given us permission to see - via the lens that is her life - the eternal battles that we all must contend with. She shows us the war between the ease of acquiring money and the dangers that can come with excessive desires for such; she has manifested the internal struggles between her hatred for the men whom have used her and harmed her and her still - enduring desire for that one man who will love her and take care of her. She has shown us both the socialite and the homeless woman. <b style="">She gives us the paradoxes of the nerd who is popular and the escort who treasures her relationship with God.</b> These struggles are not unique to Dawn, for all of us who are honest enough with ourselves to take inventory of our own struggles can relate to these very quandaries. Each and every single one of us has done the Jacob thing in the </span><st1:time minute="0" hour="0"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >midnight</span></st1:time><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" > hour, struggling with God, weighing the balances between doing what is right and doing what is profitable, wondering if God hears our cries; questioning whether or not our sins can be balanced by God’s mercy and/or judgment. Which of us has not questioned God’s will, or even our own sanity? <b style="">No one honest with his or herself can avoid seeing themselves in <i>Dear Diary</i>.</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

Proudly, and yet <b style="">humbly, Dawn has come through her struggle with God and has emerged intact. In <i>Dear Diary: A Letter to My Sister</i>, she has returned to tell the tale to the rest of us.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><b style=""><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:12;" >It would behoove us to take heed.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p></p>
