Woo DAT!: Bringing Back the Old School Way of Way of Wooing Into 21st Century Relationships

Woo Dat is a call to arms where wooing is your big gun. That's right, rebuilding "connection" one woo act at a time. Whether that is romantic, friendly, business, or familial. The commitment to wooing is that stand needed, that sacrifice given, that action taken to dig deeper. To not forget to acknowledge intimacy in connections as much as you acknowledge the ease of technology in connections today. Inspired by New Orleans, each chapter in Woo Dat is based on a New Orleans monument.

The human heart, the "emotional" heart, is akin to those old shuttered doors you see when walking through the French Quarter, bolted up. No light gets in. Grand courtyards and archways, crown molding and hardwood floors, fireplaces and mantles, claw foot bathtubs and pedestal sinks, shut up tight for no one to see. No human touch, no human voice, no footsteps to be heard. No hands to touch the wooden banister railings of the spiraling staircases. No one to witness what was once glorious and thriving. Dust accumulates. Chandeliers hang with no electricity to make them shine. Paint chips and walls decay. Where once music filled rooms and traveled out open doors to balconies onto the streets, now there is only silence. Yes, boarded shutters nailed shut and forgotten, this is what has happened to the "heart" of communication.

It takes someone coming along who has the means to unbolt those shutters and let the light in. Someone who will not be overwhelmed by the amount of work it will take to restore, but be moved with excitement and passion to create something marvelous out of something destitute. Do you have the means to do this for your own heart? Do you even see the value in that? These are the questions that determine whether you are one who is going to stand up and fight. Stand up and Woo!
