It is a privilege to write about the quintessential woman who has given me life, literally.

Bobbie Jean
Bobbie Jean is a conqueror of multitudes; she is a business owner, leader, pilot, entrepreneur, community service advocate, graduate student, daughter, sister, cousin, motivator, cherished friend, and heir of the most high God. Additionally, me and Joseph Robert Harth have been blessed with the honor of having her has our mother.

One of my favorite memories from my early childhood was when she was teaching me how to spell words and there was one word that she had me constantly practice:

“Danielle, how do you spell excellence?”
“E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-C-E”

Bobbie Jean is the essence of excellence, and excellence is what she always models in any place, with any interaction, and whatever work that she does. Because of who she is, I have always had a great role model in my life.

She continues to amaze me daily with her innovate ideas, compassion for every person, elegant style, honorable morals, impregnable perseverance and emotional strength, modesty, and incessant support.

Bobbie Jean has managed to blow my mind with revealing another one of her abilities from her Pandora’s box of excellence, that she is a poet! Read this great poem of affirmation composed by Bobbie Jean, the quintessential woman of excellence.

Who Am I
By: Bobbie Jean

Who am I?
I am the apple of God’s eye
That shines as bright as the sky.

Who am I?
I was sent from above
That was created by love.

Who am I?
I am a child of the King
That is why I reign to be queen.

Who am I?
I am as beautiful as a flower
That obtains wisdom by the hour.

Who am I?
I am love,
I am a joy,
I am peace,
I am tolerant,
I am gentle,
I am friendly,
I am trustworthy,
I am patient,
I am disciplined.

Who am I?
I am Bobbie, a child of The Most High God…

We are Pomegranates with Countless Seeds

1/6/2014

It is beautiful to take the time to observe the natural things that God has blessed this Earth with because there are so many inanimate things that people can relate to, it also makes life a lot more enjoyable. This is why art is so important. Art takes nature, universal themes, human expression, and world history to make it relatable and valuable to our own unique existence.

The Pomegranate is a unique fruit that has a multitude of small delicious seeds protected within barriers of a hard outer shell. Today, I had the opportunity to cut into a pomegranate and absorb the beauty and flavor of it and contemplate how I believe it can be applied to people’s lives.

Like Psalm 1:3 says in the Bible, we are “like a tree planted firmly by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and whose leaves do not wither; and in whatever we do will prosper.” By each of us being trees that bear fruit, we contain countless seeds (creative ideas and gifts) within us that serve as opportunities to generate prosperity and value to our lives, our homes, our relationships, our communities, and our world.

In Art and Mythology, the pomegranate has been represented as a symbol of fullness, prosperity, overflowing generosity, and fertility because of the countless seeds within it.

Here are a few representations of the pomegranate in Italian Renaissance art:

The pomegranate also serves as a great metaphor of explaining how a personality can be so fruitful in carrying many seeds. Defining personality from a psychological perspective, personality is the set of enduring behavioral and mental traits that distinguish human beings. Each of us people are born into a solid shell, like a pomegranate, but within our human spirit we are composed of so many different elements, complexities, values, cultures, talents, gifts, humors, goals, professions, and experiences that make us unique people.
