I Feel a Cyn Coming On

May 16, 2014 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

I saw this t-shirt in a catalog that says “I feel a sin coming on”.  I always wanted to buy it.  But I want it to spell “sin”, “Cyn”.  Everybody has a nickname.  That one’s mine. When I was born my mother named me Cynthia Lu.  All while growing up I was Cindy.  Cindy Pierce. … [Read more…]

Go With It

May 14, 2014 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

Sometimes you just have to prioritize. I have had to look at what’s good for me or my family, what’s going to make me money, and what’s close to my heart.

Don’t Miss the Forest for the Trees

April 28, 2014 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

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 Leave a Comment

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 Leave a Comment

“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…]

Imagination – Life’s Coming Attractions

April 7, 2014 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

When I was young I had a huge imagination.  I was always playing “pretend”.  I was always lost in my own little world.  And over the years I got so involved in trying to make my pretend world a reality I forgot how to dream.  I mean, who has time to dream when you’re trying … [Read more…]

Time is Too Slow for Those Who Wait

March 28, 2014 by cynthiaelder 2 Comments

I’m not a patient person.  I have never been a patient person.  If I get my mind set on something I want it right now this minute.  I have always been that way.  Don’t dangle something in front of me and say it’s going to happen because I can’t wait for it to happen. And … [Read more…]

Ask for It

March 24, 2014 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

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 3 Comments

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…]

These Dreams
