Open Our Eyes's Interests
General
Music
One good thing about music is when it hits, you feel no pain...
"I would rather write her a song because songs don't wait to resolve and because songs mean so much to her. Stories wait for endings, but songs are brave things bold enough to sing when all they know is darkness." - TWLOHA

This originally started as a simple myspace for a group titled How to Save a Life based on the ideals behind The Fray's song How to Save a Life. All we wanted was love. We believed that was all it took to save a life.
Today it is a non-profit organization titled Open Our Eyes that believes our voice can mean something, that our voice can help save a life. Our goal is to educate our community on the following: the severity of suicide among teens, the warning signs which indicate a person is at risk, and the resources available both locally and nationally to reduce that risk. We do not take the place of talking with a medical professional. We hope to serve as a bridge to connect people with the help they need.
Open Our Eyes is a movement. It is a revolution. It is a call. It is our call.

We believe that the lesson is in the struggle not the victory. We are all one, we are all called to love. That's really all it takes.
4 out of 5 teens who attempt suicide give clear warning signs. Maybe it's time for us to open our eyes.
IMPORTANT: Talking with anyone here does not take the place of talking with a medical professional. We are not experienced in any medical field and reccommend contacting locally AltaPointe Health Systems at (251)473-4423 or nationally Yellow Ribbon at 1-800-SUICIDE for help.
"We are a community of struggle. Some of us are rich people trying to escape our lonliness. Some of us are poor folks trying to escape the cold. Some of us are addicted to drugs, and others are addicted to money. We are a broken people who need each other and God, for we have come to recognize the mess that we have created of our world and how deeply we suffer from that mess. Now we are working together to give birth to a new society within the shell of the old. Another world is possible. Another world is necessary. Another world is here." - Shane Claiborne

This is something that just came to me as I was thinking about the importance of having dreams in life. To me these are the steps to take when reaching our dreams. First, we have to dare to believe in our dream. Then we must reach for it. After we reach for it, we must embrace the possibility of making it come true. Once we embrace the possibilities, we achieve what we are going after. So when we do achieve our dreams and make it come true, we use our dreams to motivate others to follow theirs. That is what makes up a dream and the steps to going after our dreams.
This is just something I wrote awhile back for the word Survivor. This is my definition of what a survivor is and I thought I'd pass it on and share it with you. Always remember that you are not alone in life and not alone in what you go through. We survivors must stick together because sometimes we are all that each other has. But together, we can get through the hard times in life.
Some of the most beautiful people that I know are my fellow friends who are survivors. What makes them stand out from all the rest is their courage, determination, and strength to keep going in life and to keep fighting. Those are traits that separate them from everyone else. They never give up, they never quit, they just keep on moving forward in life. Just like a phoenix, they rise from the ashes of their past, proving that from something negative emerges someone strong and beautiful. These warriors that I am honored and proud to fight beside and stand beside, show me everyday that life is worth living and that I'm not alone in what I go through. They inspire me and motivate me to keep speaking out and letting my voice be heard. I am surrounded by so many positive survivors who serve not only as my angels and friends in life, but also as my inspiration and my role models. Thank you for fighting alongside me and showing me that I have a life worth living for. Thank you for being there to show me that I am not alone. It is warriors and survivors like you who have made all the difference in my life.
Our word of the month is "I AM ME" as you can tell from the default. well I want to see how creative you guys can be. Show your support and send us a sign that says "I AM ME" somewhere in the picture. For every picture we get our team is sending out a dollar to the breast cancer foundation. So we need your help. Please send us anything you have. And the more creative winner will be our new default and possibly something more. (you'll just have to wait and see what that is)

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day.
I love you.
P.S. And, remember... If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in
the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
I have seen you struggling and it's over. A blessing is coming your way.
