They say ignorance is bliss. And sometimes you wish what you learned you never would have found out. You wish that you had stayed in the dark. Because knowing and being awakened makes you ask too many questions. Questions about your self that makes you feel uncomfortable. And many folks don't like to be taken out of the comfort zone that they have created. Whether it was created with lies, fantasies, or delusions. On the positive side you see your errors and you correct them or work towards correcting them.
These were all of the things I thought and felt when reading Iyanla Vanzant's "Peace From Broken Pieces".
I questioned some of my practices as a parent. Wondering if my children are receiving subliminal messages from me. I wondered if by being a single parent I unknowingly said or did something around my children that try will remember and take with them into adulthood. I thought of my upbringing and saw similarities in the patterns of my life and the story Ms. Iyanla shared.
It made me a bit uneasy while reading it but now I know the correct steps to make changes. I am thankful for knowing and being able to observe. I am thankful for being able to change.
