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!
