True Knowledge and Wisdom

In the news you always hear about how public schools are not teaching children the right skills to be competitive in today’s global economy or how college degrees are not preparing students for the jobs that are available.  A colleague and I recently had a discussion about ideas on how schools can be fixed. He was studying for a Masters in Public Policy at Northwestern University in Chicago and I have a Masters in Public Administration.  We always share ideas on how public policies can be created to support public schools.  Being as cynical as I am, I talked about ideas vaguely but wanted to speak on things that are beyond our control without offending in the workplace.  Working in corporate America has taught me that some of the things that you are not to talk about are politics, religion, and sometimes sports.  I ask myself on a daily basis, why you can’t talk about politics, religion, race, and sexuality.  Those are things that we as a society should be able to talk about.  We can talk about the latest celebrity gossip such as Jay Z and Beyoncé’s baby being born by a surrogate, the Kardashians, how much the new CEO of Apple received in salary, and the list goes on.  Those things can seem interesting often to a point where they are trivial.  Have we become a nation that has been dumb down by not having standards?  In my opinion, as I read blogs and the comments, society laments on the downfall of other people or the dumbing down of everything around us.  There are no standards.  Anybody can get paid doing the most slanderous, vulgar, and perverted things out there.  Somebody like Tebow who praises the Creator for all the blessings that were bestowed upon him and his team are ridiculed.  Have we become a society where bad is good and good is bad?  We have.  When man lives by his own will, we are going to have disasters.  I don’t care who they elect in office, nothing is going to change for the overall good.  Things may seem like they are getting better, but in actuality, they are not.  With all the colleges and universities out there, we are a society that is definitely dumb down lacking true knowledge and wisdom.  I have two masters degrees and I feel that my wisdom and knowledge has come from the Creator.  My mother has taught me if you pray for anything, pray for wisdom and understanding.  Wisdom and understanding comes from the Creator. Wisdom that is bestowed upon those who incline their ears, apply their heart, cry out, seek wisdom, and search for it.  Wisdom is the understanding of what is true, right or lasting.  Nothing is everlasting.  Things that were it, are no longer.  If society seeks wisdom and understanding, most of the problems that we have will be minimum.  You can acquire much knowledge from education, but true wisdom comes only from the Creator.



Blessings!!!!!

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

I Am Back

Blessings To Everyone, It has been two months since I last blogged.  I have been extremely busy with work.  I was working on a dress for success event with both my employers that includes Ann Taylor.  We created an initiative to teach graduates how to dress for interviews and what to wear for work.  At my primary job, we have to create initiatives along with my current job duties. The event was a success. One of the student models was offered a job at the new Loft flagship in Chicago. I also have been contemplating which way I would like this blog to go.  The blog started out as a self help for me and to inspire others as well. I want to focus on inspiring others. In the past two months I have been out of town to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.  Going to New York was one of the things I wanted to do before I leave this world.  I would say that it is part of my bucket list.  I enjoyed myself.  You know I love all thing...

Happy 4th of July

H A P P Y  4 T H  O F  J U L Y  ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy 4th of July to all.  I am taking it easy today.  My hubby barbecued some jerk chicken breast that have been marinating over night, some beef hot dogs, some lamb burgers, hamburgers, jerk shrimp, and some chicken quarters.  I did a healthy alternative to my famous macaroni and cheese ( wheat rotini noodles).  We are keeping it light.  My sister is coming over and we are just going to watch some movies and relax.  As an ode to the 4th of July, here are some items that I recommend not only for today, but for all time. Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
