Make a Soundtrack of Your Life

June 9, 2014 by cynthiaelder

I think it is very important to go through life with a soundtrack.  I mean, when you go to a movie you might not necessarily pay attention to the music, but if it wasn’t there you would notice.  So it’s important to have a soundtrack that suits you.  I have been making a soundtrack of … [Read more…]

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?

May 21, 2014 by cynthiaelder

I feel like I have had a weight problem my entire life.  I know that is not true but I feel that way.  I first noticed that I was gaining weight when my body starting getting curves and everyone and their brother started noticing.  When you’re in the 6th and 7th grade, weigh 70 lbs … [Read more…]

Here Comes Trouble

May 19, 2014 by cynthiaelder

I recently read a magazine article about helping your kids dissect trouble-makers and what to do if your kid ends up being the trouble maker.  Then the article goes on to talk about if you encounter trouble makers.  They list a few trouble-makers to be leery of:  the compulsive dieter; the downer; the shopaholic; the … [Read more…]

Don’t Miss the Forest for the Trees

April 28, 2014 by cynthiaelder

Sometimes it’s really hard to step back and look at the big picture.  I mean, we’re all so busy with tasks, aren’t we?  We take care of the things in front of us.  If we were in a forest we would be watching each individual tree to make it through the forest.  We wouldn’t look … [Read more…]

Sometimes I Fly Like an Eagle

April 25, 2014 by cynthiaelder

I love this song by John Denver.  It is so much who I am.  There are times that I am higher than an eagle, and then there are times that I crash.  My sister insists that I am bi-polar.  I insist that I am just alive and some people are just like that. I love … [Read more…]

Goals? What’s Next?

April 23, 2014 by cynthiaelder

“Sometimes you don’t need a goal in life, you don’t need to know the big picture.  You just need to know what you’re going to do next.” We should all have goals.  If our only goal is to get out of bed in the morning, then that’s a goal.  But I have recently vowed to … [Read more…]

Ask for It

March 24, 2014 by cynthiaelder

There’s a lot to be said for asking for it.  I mean, when you go shopping they tell you to “Just ask”.  There are those who say that there is no such thing as a stupid question.  There’s a lot of people who say you’ll never get anything if you don’t ask for it.  Shoot, … [Read more…]

Attraction

March 19, 2014 by cynthiaelder

There is something to be said about attraction. Drawn, magnetized, pulled.  These are all words that describe attraction.  To me, these words are very physical.  Attraction is very physical. Yes, there is physical attraction.  But there is emotional attraction, mental attraction, spiritual attraction, and I’m sure ways that we have never even thought of attraction. … [Read more…]
