I wanted to share with you all about my criminal justice path. I don't talk about this as much as I'd like to. I get so wrapped up in other things that I end up just not having enough time. But recently, I did start dedicating more time to this. Please allow me to explain.

Back when I was in college, I knew I wanted to study both criminal justice and psychology. I was intrigued by both. My number one goal was to be a profiler. Though back then, there wasn't much of a degree in that particular area. You just had to take a bunch of psych classes, and also CJ classes, and if possible some behavioral type classes as well. But those mostly fit into the psychology major. There just wasn't a set degree for this particular field.

My college advisor really pushed me towards becoming a US Marshal and it was appealing to me but my heart was really set on profiling.

I had studied behavior for years and not by reading books. I just sat back and watched everyone. It was something I did as a very young child. Probably sounds a bit creepy now that I think about it, lol. But I did, I was a watcher. I honestly still am.

Not only did I watch people but I also watched animals. I interacted with them a lot and learned how to read them just by observing. I guarantee you, it's lent a huge hand in my bonding with animals of all types over the years. I became very good at it.

And with people, I became even more so. Because I also learned something else. I got to be very very good at listening to my intuition. Now if you took a look back over the course of my life and my past mistakes, you may question this, but don't. Here's why…

I often would know things about people. However, like many others do, I'd think I could fix them or change the situation. I also ignored a lot of warning signs over the years when it came to others.

I'm hoping that I can start helping you guys to get to a place where you start seeing things for what they are and acting on those things appropriately.

We've got to start believing our gut instincts. We've got to start listening to that inner voice that says, STOP. Many of us have found ourselves in a lot of trouble by refusing to listen to that inner voice and ignoring our intuition. We've got to start letting it lead us and also teach our children the same. I know a lot of times people have become victims of another because they didn't want to seem rude or mean. Especially, when their inner voice screamed to beware.

Nine out of ten times, you will hear an alarm going off internally letting you know something is not right. Furthermore, once trapped in a situation, it can and will alert you as to what to do once it does take place. Listen to it! Do not ignore it! Listen to how it directs you. I think we often don't listen for a variety of reasons. One is because, once you're in a scary situation your fear leads you. That is just a common occurrence. Having fear is going to happen, but if at all possible, silence the fear and listen to the inner voice.

I truly believe, and God has even shared, that it's where the Holy Spirit speaks to us. So, listen to it carefully. As many times as I've been saved over the years, it was that grounding in hearing God's voice and listening, that has did just that, rescued me. Not only that it's that inner voice and intuition that speaks the loudest to you in dangerous situations. Heed the voice.

I recently went on a dating site again which I'm going to talk about later on. It has ignited something within me about showing others how to protect themselves. I'm going to write about it soon. It's one area I'm becoming more drawn to. And, I'm going to be doing more and more writings on helping people recognize warning signs and how to really listen to that voice and trust their intuition. It's needed! There are so many crimes that would be thwarted if people were more tuned into their inner voice. So, I want to help you in that respect.

I finally got back into reading body language again and noticing behaviors. It's something I've been incredibly passionate about for years and years. I previously wrote on it. Once you start delving into it, it's virtually impossible to turn off. It's all about people watching. You don't have to be creepy about it either haha! Just when you're out and about, observe your surroundings and the people near you. It's smart to do that anyways.

I don't like sitting with my back facing everyone else. I like being seated in a position where I can scan the room. I observe everything. You can quickly surmise if someone seems agitated or shifty. People who always have their hands in their pockets grab my attention. If someone approaches me, and I'm alone, I keep my eyes on them until they get a bit away from me. I also keep a distance from someone I don't know. I like having distance between myself and a stranger. I've also learned blocks and some self-defense moves. Everyone should learn these things, everyone!

Something to note. As a kid I would never look anyone in the eye, ever. I even got fired from my first job because I couldn't and wouldn't. I was 16 at the time. My boss tried to make me look at him and I couldn't. He fired me for not. That's how bad I was with intimidation. Everything intimidated me. After that, I made myself look at people. I forced it. You can read a great deal in a person's eyes. You can clearly see intent in there and even see what's about to happen based on their eyes and facial expressions.

This is just a lil bit about what I wanted to share. There is more coming. I hope to do a whole little series on it soon.

Please be cautious out there. Stay safe. Trust your gut instinct and then follow through. You do NOT owe any stranger anything. Remember that! If something seems off, LISTEN! Protect yourself, and please look out for each other.

God bless you all! Take care!
