My Thoughts Revisited

As I get older, live from day to day, and study human behavior and thought patterns, many of the things I see and experience, that are troubling to say the least, are becoming more common place and the "norm" is starting to be whatever is "trending" or is "the fad" for that moment. As quiet as it's kept, nothing is "really" normal anymore about having respect for others, and being respectful. Nor is it normal anymore to have deep rooted morals or a sense of spirituality and religion for that matter. God? Faith? What is that?

It's so bad that if you have or share a "Word" or even quote anything from the Bible, you're either old fashioned, weird, or holier than thou, and in some cases, deemed a hypocrite if you try to live right but fall short every now and then.

Children don't respect their parents or the elderly anymore, as these days it is common place for children to even kill parents and elderly. Men don't respect women, and if the truth be told, women don't respect men anymore either. And no one cares enough to go out of their way to help others, nor themselves, as they too look for hand outs .. So where does all this lead us?? At the end of the it tells us that "No Lives Matter" in the grand scheme of things, not even the lives of little innocent babies and children. As long as there's no morals, or humanity in the world, we'll forever remain in this insanity; and as long as this insanity and lack of regard and lack of compassion remain the status quo, the human race and the "quality of life" will continue to diminish until there is no more.....#lifeIsButADream #on1 ~Dr. Rock Ramsey~

Fix it

At the end of the day:

All of us wants someone to believe and trust in, especially when it comes to having our best interest at heart. But truth be told, that's a rare jewel to find. So if you find that person, hold on tight and don't let the small things tear it apart.... Sometimes it's better to fix it than to lose it...#relationshipmatters

How Long!?

When helping people starts to hurt you, it's time reevaluate whether or not they are worth your sacrifice. If they are not worth the pain and hurt they are causing you, then it's time to pull the plug before they drain you dry... A DRY YOU can't help the others that are Worthy and in true need of help ... How long will you let them use you? How long will you allow them to run over you? How long will you continue to enable them? Pull the plug and cut the cord so they can't reconnect... #StopProvidingLoopHolesAndAwayOut #StartPromotingAccountabilityAndResponsibilityInPeople #TheyHaveToLearnSomeDay #NoMoreEnablingPeople

Til Death Do Us Part

A loveless, lifeless marriage is a disease that gradually eats away at your soul and inner being. Being emotionally trapped in a legal and matrimonial prison that wears on your physical and mental being is a death sentence in itself, literally. Is that really the life God has for us? At some point you have to make a choice and weigh your options as to whether to stay or go. What God put together, let no man put asunder, TRUE. But did HE put it together or did YOU? Every work or act under the sun is not of Him although HE allows it to happen. If HE put it together this post would be obsolete, for nothing HE designed or orchestrated would fail or be without love...#ThinkAboutIt #DeepPost #RealTalk ~Dr. Rock Ramsey~

Chea!!

As of 5:39 pm this evening (09/07/16), I have successfully defended and released my "boyfriend"(Mr. Dissertation), and heard the words I've been waiting 5 years and 9months to hear. "Congratulations Dr. Wiley! You did it!" by both my Chair, Dr. Gerald Nissley, and My Committee Member, Dr. Grant Rich. And with that being said, I present to you, without further ado....Dr. Marilyn Wiley!!!
I will be walking in the January Graduation Ceremony in Orlando! #CHEA #ImDone #ClinicalPsychologist #Labcoat #DrRockRamsey #AndThereItIs #FirstAfricanAmericanFemaleDoctorFromBrantleyHigh #FirstDocInTheFamily #Accomplishments

I started my PhD program on 12/07/10, ironically, and I owe this success to my Mom and her untimely demise. She took her seat in Heaven on 12/07/07. If it was not for her tragic death I would have never slowed down and finished my Master's or PhD.  Instead of being depressed, harboring anger and negative feelings, and driving myself crazy wondering about the circumstances of her loss, I put my time thoughts and energy in a positive direction. A direction that not only help me channel my hurt but also a direction that has allowed, and will continue to allow, me to help others.

I would like to say thanks to all my family, friends, and supporters, but most of all THANK YOU GOD!!!

To Carry or Not to Carry

Final Thoughts of the Night:

As I tuck my Special Agent back into its safe place after protecting me tonight as I shut down the office to leave and go home, this thought crossed my mind....

What I thought was "my right" to live and protect myself is seeming in reality to be a reason to die or get killed. So the question now becomes "To Carry or NOT to Carry?"

It seems that a permit means nothing if your skin isn't the right shade. It seems that it is a mute point to have a license to carry a weapon to protect yourself, as it is more like a license to be killed if a cop is unsure of his/her skills and training and allow fear to pull the trigger on his service weapon.

So, what is the point of it all? Whether you have a permit or not, at the sound of one having a gun, apparently that is enough of a threat or warning to police that you just might use it... not properly or according to the law..., but to just shoot them for lack of anything left to live for. So, do you tell them you have it or do you conceal the fact that it is on your person or in your car, for fear of their possible ill-fated reaction and response? Do you let them just discover it on their own and then accuse you of plotting on them since you failed to mention having it? What? Help me here.... I'm confused...

But then I hear, as I'm driving home all of the mass destruction that's going on in the world, all at the expense of something that is supposed to be used to protect us. I know guns don't kill people by themselves, but I'm feeling some kind of way and a bit of resentment for even carrying my "Special Agent Derek Morgan" due to the uncertainty of the laws (although I took the courses), the rights, the evil, the hurt, and even the sadness that can possibly be related to it in general... I'm feeling scared to even protect myself by carrying and using the one thing that I chose for protection and that is supposedly designed to protect me....So again "To Carry or Not to Carry". #NoSecret #iCarryHeat

Leave Those Kids Alone

Some Fathers, and don't get me wrong, Mothers too, have NO clue of the impact they have on their children. Parents have the ability to make or break a child in the simplest ways possible, that have major, life long impacts on their children. The reason I started off with Fathers is because the majority of the kids I see have more "daddy issues" than "momma issues". Not to say that one bears more blame than the other, but based on my current experiences. However, the point of the matter is this... 1. Don't take your crappy life out on kids. 2. Let kids be kids and stop including them in your grown up problems and conversations, and then get mad when they talk to you like your equal instead of your child. 3. Instead of waiting until they get out of line before you try to correct them, start teaching them early. (Trust me, I know that this doesn't always work with some of the head strong kids but it doesn't mean you give up teaching and correcting. Keep on until they get it or is able to get out). 4. Stop staying around abusive spouses that not only abuse the kids but abuse you too. 5. If you know you don't have patience, wrap it up, take a pill, abstain, or whatever you need to do to prevent yourself from harming or scarring a child for life. If you can't help'em don't hurt'em... I rather you be a deadbeat or absent in their lives than to cause them so much heartache and pain...

And there it is...... #iLoveTheKids ~Marilyn~
