Many people know what V.I.P. stands for . .Very Important People . . in the everyday common world. According to this blog V.I.P. stands for something totally different an authentic! Victorious Inspiring Prosperous is the unique meaning of V.I.P. Often times we think that we are the only ones going through things when in reality there are others going through or have been through the same things we are in our lives. I recall feeling like I was going through a relationship demise and depression all by myself. Obviously there have been and there will continue to be those in the same situation; however in the moment I was not thinking that.
I remember crying to my mom . .via text of course . .because why would I talk to her on the phone and I'm crying LOL!?? My mom is the kind of mom that will not get in your business, but at the same time is in your business because she wants what's best for you and for you to be happy. Hopefully that makes sense because me typing it out looks weird as hell . .lol! So I told her everything that was going on . . once I felt like it . .of course. After the various messages back and forth . .she says well whatever you decide to do I support your decision and I love you. That of course meant the world to me because I had no damn clue what I was going to do!! In that moment I felt Victorious Inspiring Prosperous (V.I.P) because I had someone on "my side" to help me through things. When I say "my side" I don't mean to justify or ok my behaviors but on "my side" to support me in my time of being distraught.
Then I text my dad. He says to me "it's life and life happens so what are WE going to do about this?" Again . .I felt Victorious Inspiring Prosperous because he asked what "we" would do about this because he wanted to help his little girl get through whatever it was I was going through. Another ally to tell me that I would be supported which is what I needed at the time. Not someone to condone my behavior . .not someone to cheerlead me to a decision .. but someone who would be there for me in my time of need.
During this difficult time, I cut alot of people off. I felt like it was the best thing to do because I was going through my own drama and dealing with my own demons. I had NO TIME to entertain someone else's issues because I was not in a good place mentally, emotionally and barley spiritually. I was NOT equipped to handle anyone or anything else. I recently spoke with a very good friend of mine and what I gather from our conversation is that she was hurt by the fact that I didn't let her know . .not necessarily the details of what was going on . .but the fact that I just dropped off the face of the earth without communicating it. I had to really think about it because I definitely did not mean to cause hurt or harm . .I just didn't feel the need to explain anything is what I was thinking in the moment. When the reality is that yes I could've just said . .hey I need some time to myself and I will be disappearing. You know .. the courteous thing to do! But again . .it didn't happen that way and I just needed that four letter word T.I.M.E. After our discussion and me reassuring her that it had nothing to do with her or our friendship . .I felt Victorious Inspiring Prosperous (V.I.P).
The first step in ANY recovery program is to identify AND accept there is a problem. Until you do that . .you are pretty much stalled in everything you are trying to accomplish. I had to do some real soul searching about who I was . .what I was and whose I was!! I had to come to terms with the fact that the love I had for someone else was NOT the love I had for MYSELF! There is no way in hell that you are able to love someone they way they think they should be loved until you can love yourself. It wasn't unitl I identified this and accepted it that I was able to make the changes I have made so far! I am Victorious Inspiring Prosperous (V.I.P.)
Victorious . . .yes this happened! I celebrated going through the pain . .coming out of it with my peace of mind . . moving forward with my life no matter what was to happen. I had to KNOW that I was NOT in control of anything that was to happen. As much as I tried to HELP God out . .I was told this is NOT your battle...sit down and be still. As challenging as this was for me .. I was obedient. Then things began to fall into place!
Inspiring . . .through it all I was inspiring others along the way and didn't even know it. I was telling my truth and showing them that you too can get through difficult times in life. It may not be the exact same story . .but it's YOUR story and YOU have to be able to tell it. My truth isn't the same as anyone else's because it's just that . .MY TRUTH. We never know who is watching and how we inspire people just by being ourselves and being open to change.
Prosperous . . going through everything has been prosperous for me in every level of my life. My relationship with others, my family, my friends, my sanity, my compassion and my self love!! Because I have been prosperous in those areas . .God has blessed me to continue with my blog by acquiring enough consistent views that I can be paid. Prosperous with opening other doors of opportunity for me with becoming a travel agent because HE knows I LOVE to 1) help people and 2) travel the world. I have so much peace when I am traveling and seeing new people, places and things. My biggest accomplishment of prosperity in all things is launching my Channeling Tequila #findyourhappy Mind ~ Body ~ Soul event!! This brings tears to me EVERY TIME I think about it's really happening. I have for so very long wanted to do an event about self love and empowerment. It was never the right time because guess what . . I wasn't V.I.P. yet!! There had to go through some thangs to earn that status!! So I could REALLY REALLY WALK the WALK and TALK the TALK! I had to experience hurt in no other way, shape, form or fashion in order to appreciate my V.I.P. status.
I invite you all to to identify your V.I.P. status in order to #findyourhappy!! Come out to the event and just DO YOU!! I'm an open book and my truths are just out there. It's Victorious . .Inspiring. .Prosperous!!

LAST CALL!!
LAST CALL!! LAST CALL!! Yes this is exactly what it means . .LAST CALL!! In a bar or club setting LAST CALL means that anything you thought you wanted to get . .better happen right now because either the special is over or they are closing down. That's how I feel about taking on any stress, drama or inconveniences in my life . . LAST CALL!! I haven't always been this girl however! I use to not so much engage in stress, drama or inconveniences; however I did allow that in my life in order to appease others. To keep my OWN stress level down. Which as you may know . .caused just that . .STRESS!! I don't do stress, drama or inconveniences in my life any longer. It took me quite some time to get to this level of LAST CALL because I am someone that thrives on being positive, helping people and keeping everyone content.
The JOY of getting to LAST CALL in your life is you literally live a life of contentment!! I've always been someone who was content and confident in my job, my education and my non-romantic relationships. It's my romantic relationship that I was not always confident in. Not necessarily because either one of us did something wrong . .but because I felt like I would never be what he wanted me to be and always wanted to be better or do better. When in reality . .I was not being who I needed to be in order to gain the confidence I needed in the relationship. I am my own worse critic! So as a result of that relationship demise . .I vowed that this would be the LAST CALL. ANY relationship I enter, whether romantic or not . .I would be who I AM and NEED TO BE so people can take it or leave it.
LAST CALL on being what someone else thinks I should be in order to appease them and their lifestyle or situation. I have grown to say NOPE . .NOT HAPPENING! If it doesn't make me happy . .then I'm not doing it anymore! LAST CALL! Prior to this mentality I would do whatever; for whomever because I was putting their happiness before mine. I wanted to make sure everyone was ok with the decision that I would be there for them no matter the cost. YEAAAA . .THAT'S NO LONGER HAPPENING . .LAST CALL!
I love that I am the person I have grown into at 43.5 years old!! We live . .we learn . .LAST CALL! What is your LAST CALL moment? Is it a relationship? Is it drama? Is it finances? Is it low self-esteem? Is it overeating? Is it not exercising? Is it self worth? Only you know when it's LAST CALL for your life or situation. I can only relay my story. All of our LAST CALL moments will be different depending on our situation and our expectations of how we want to live our lives. I pray that my life journeys allow each one reading to get to the place of #findyourhappy. Make sure your LAST CALL is just that LAST CALL!!

HAPPY HOUR!
Who doesn't LOVE a good Happy Hour?? Whether it's food, drinks or a combination of the two . .a good Happy Hour makes all the difference. Prices are SUPER CHEAP and you can pretty much get the stuff for HALF PRICE or less because it's Happy Hour . .right! I'm sure you're thinking back to the last Happy Hour you attended. If you've never attended one . .now you want to because of the WONDERFUL shout out I just gave!!
As yummy and delightful as the above deal may sound . . Happy Hour doesn't last forever! YESSSS . .there comes an end to all good things. The question that I pose to each of you reading this is . . what are you offering as you host Happy Hour? Remember that you're enjoying things at half the value or even less depending on what's on the special. What is your value? What will you be offering SUPER CHEAP? Is it your sanity? Is it your soul? Is it your body? Is it your self-esteem? Is it your entire worth?
I've been there on more than one occasion! I've "hosted" Happy Hour in order to keep the peace or to have the love that I thought I deserved. All the time I was offering a SUPER CHEAP version of me in order to appease the patrons. Some took a piece of my sanity because that was on special at the time. Others had the pleasure of sucking the soul out of me just the way you would suck on a lime after a good tequila shot! Offering up my body was yet another great deal with an added self-esteem two for one deal. Last but definitely not least was the creme de la creme of all the Happy Hour specials . .my entire worth!! YEP . .that happened. I questioned my entire being at one point.
I can only speak for myself although I can pretty much guarantee that anyone reading this post has definitely participated in some form of Happy Hour in their life. It's the part of life called "You Live . .You Learn!" As long as we are on this side of glory, there will always be a point in our lives where we will have the pleasure of shutting down Happy Hour by making that "last call". For those of you who don't know what last call is . .well that's when the waitress/waiter come around to your table to let you know . .Happy Hour is almost over and this is the "last call". Meaning . .uh yea . .things go back to regular price!
YESSS REGULAR PRICE! For me that meant that I no longer would be discounting my sanity, my soul, my body, my self-esteem and most importantly my self-worth. The price is surmountable; therefore if you have to ask how much it would cost to have any part of me from now on . .you can't afford me. When I tell people now that they can't afford me . .their simple minds think monetarily because that's what they are use to doing. Offering things of "value" because it's associated with a materialistic mentality. I mean I can buy my own stuff if I want something. When I say you can't afford me . .I'm telling you that you'll never have the opportunity to "purchase" me because I'm no longer on Happy Hour. All specials are null and void. YESSS Happy Hour has ended!!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!
I've been asked how do I get my topics? How do I know what to write about once I get them? Do I ever take topic requests? Welllllll . .since you asked! The topics just come to me most times from divine intervention. Once those topics hit my spirit, a few days later the message comes to me for that topic in many forms. I'm able to then relate it to my life experiences which in turn provides the conversation for the blog. I do take topic requests and if my spirit is in tune with the topic, I will then write about it. Let me express that I HAVE TO be in tune with it; otherwise I write the topic down and set it aside until it's time . .if at all . .to be shared with everyone.
Without further ado . .the topic for today's blog is KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Someone asked if I knew then what I know now I would . . .
I mean that's a pretty broad statement/question to say the least because Lord knows I don't know where I would begin with changing things in my life if I knew then what I know now. I, for one, would have definitely went to school when I was supposed to and waited to have kids. You know that whole "traditional" way of doing things; however I've never really been big on doing things the way society feels I should anyway. With that said, if I knew then what I know now I would have definitely not have gotten married at 16 to husband number one. I mean the kid was already here so I put the cart before the horse anyway on that one. I would not have moved to California with no immediate family only to end up back in Mississippi as a teenage single mom at the end of all those shenanigans. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
The reason why I was so hard on my daughter . . .the product of that whatchamacallit . . .was because I knew what I was doing at her age and I was DETERMINED to end the teen pregnancy cycle in my family. I did a lot of things wrong in relation to raising her in my eyes; however I also did a lot of things right because although she pretty much hated me her entire pre-teen and teen life . .it all worked out in the end because we are super close now that she is an adult. She now has the responsibility of raising her daughter and I thank God for that retaliation . .LOL! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
As far as school, I vowed to never go back once I graduated high school because I was completely over it! Here I am today sitting with a graduate degree and actually teaching college. I mean who would have thunk that in a trillion years? You can ask any of my teachers if they saw this coming and my high school counselor surely didn't. Education was NOT my thing. Now I am the poster child for getting your education because I realized no matter what people try to take away from you, they will never be able to strip you of your knowledge! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
Now marriage number two happened . .by that time I had already put two more carts before the horse. After many years of back and forth . .one dysfunction after another . .we made it through each time by the skin of our teeth and because we BOTH were invested enough to give it another shot after shot. Yea so that didn't work out in the end either. The one thing I must add is that I finally got it right . .sorts . .the last horse came after the cart this time . .but still it wasn't enough to keep things afloat. I can only take responsibility for my role in the demise of that one. If I knew then what I know now I would have definitely kept myself in check and let the cards fall where they may in regard to whatever was going on outside of my control. I've always had a hard head so that was nothing new in regard to me doing what I want to do. It's the end result that made the difference in my life. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
Through all the ups and downs in my life, I can honestly say that it took ALL OF THOSE THINGS to happen in order for me to be the person that I am today. All of those events played a critical part in how I see things now and what I want out of life. I am more confident in myself internally and I am living my best life at 43 years old. What the future holds, I do not know; but as for now I am living in the moment! I know that everything in the past is just that . .the past . .and it can not be changed; therefore I focus on the future and not repeating the past. You live . .you learn . .you move on. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
