I've been studying you, for lack of a better phrase. I wanna know all your likes and dislikes. I want you to be happy, that's what makes me happy. I want to study to show myself approved. When you are ready for me, trust me I will be more than ready for you. I'm not quite there yet but I'm working on it. I have to admit that it isn't easy. But I've been promised that it will be worth it. We have made plans and I want to see those plans through to the end. The end...it’s too soon to talk about the end when we are merely at the beginning. And my friends all say that they can't believe I consider this the start for us, since they've seen us together off and on for so many years. But they don't know that all that time, we were just flirting. Ha wait till they see what we look like when we get serious.

I fought the good fight but just when I thought I had lost the battles and the war, things are starting to go my way. I have spent the past few years starting and stopping but never really getting my stride. It finally looks like the tide is turning. I have accomplished some things that I didn't think I could, I am setting myself up for the things I've longed for but wasn't sure I could afford the time and energy to step out on them. I am going to the next level as a woman. I am proud of who I am becoming. I would like to thank all of those who have prayed for me and given words of encouragement. I would like to say that I truly appreciate all of the people who are proud of me and believe that I can do anything I set my mind to. I want to send all my love to all of the people who genuinely love me (Cyn, Diva, Cyndiva, singing lady, baby sis, mommy, wife-lady, Cynt-ee-uh, Auntie, Cuzzo, or whatever you call me). I want to say that I love you for loving me and even if I never sing another note or pen another verse I know that you will be there to support me; regardless of what I do or don't do. Most importantly, I give thanks to the giver of the dreams. I thank you Father God for allowing me to meet people who just won't give up on me, even when I am close to giving up on myself. I thank you for stoking the fires of my desires and keeping them ablaze in my heart. I am eternally grateful for this life and I am living it out loud and on purpose. Life is short people so do what you love. If you can't do what you love, at least do something great with the people that you love. Divaliciously Grateful, CynDiva!

I know it sounds like I'm complaining and I very well may be but, I haven't liked snow since elementary school.  Although, I've had time to catch up on some of the stuff that I otherwise would have been too busy to do.  So I guess that's a good thing.  Divaliciously Yours, CynDiva!

OOOOOWEEEE, can I just say that I love the Foreign Exchange!! I love the concept and the execution of what they do. The band was hot. Nicolay and Zo! are a filled to capacity with genius. Phonte is way too talented for his own good.(He can sing, rap, dance in just one show). Mr. D-Brock was flexing some vocal muscles ( I see you growing up young man). Ms. YahZarah, Ms. Yahzarah, wow. Sister girl was reppin for the ladies. Powerful, sexy, strong, sweet all wrapped up together in one of the hottest dresses that I have seen in awhile. Ms. Carlitta Durand, this was my first time seeing her in action and I was not disappointed. Tigallo kept saying that it was not just music, it was ministry and I believe. If I had more cash on me, I would have given the brother an offering. I got some really disappointing news yesterday and I was contemplating not coming to the show. But my best friend reminded me that I would be angry with myself if I missed this one. I reluctantly agreed. I was instantaneously lifted to another level and I have yet to come down. I'm at the "day job" humming and singing (sleepily but...) when yesterday I felt like crying. So thank you for doing it the way that you do. I needed it and I appreciate it. I also want to thank you all for being sooo cool and so accessible after the show. I think that is a major part of your appeal. You all kind of have that talented cousin from down south that performs at the barbeques vibe. I love you for it.

I agreed and continued the conversation. Later I thought about it and came up with a thought. This thought that I am sure that I have had before. I have probably even posted a blog about it in the past. Anyway, I believe that the reason that I overdo things is because I was born the youngest child. I always feel like I have something to prove. Though most of my siblings are regular everyday people, I do have a brother who is a lawyer and lives in another state. The fact that he lives so far away makes him a bit of a hero to the family, because they do not see his shortcomings. Moreover, when he comes to visit nobody wants to hear about his real life, just the Highlights. I also have a brother who is one of the greatest dad's I know. At least that is the way it looks from where I am sitting. I have said before that I am the youngest of my mother's 11 children so I have many people watching me. And since I had babies before a degree, there are those who have written me off. Nevertheless, the question remains why must I always fly full throttle until I burn out. Thankfully, I now have friends who aren't afraid to tell me that I am not a secret member of the X-Men. I have no super powers and I should learn to govern myself accordingly. I have also recently realized that I make many of the decisions I make because I feel like its what &quot;adults are expected to do.&quot; I almost got myself into $40 some odd thousand dollars of debt recently because adults are &quot;supposed to have college degrees.&quot; Honestly, I do not have one and I don't want one.

But my children still need to be fed and clothed. I still need shows and earrings, etc. So where is the happy medium??? I do not know yet. However, I am working real hard at finding it.

Welcome to Cyndiva's 2009
Divaliciously Yours,
Cyndiva!]]> Sun, 04 Jan 2009 06:33:59 GMT 1A4C0BC2CFDB08E4B54601B86F4B1CCA Gratefulness Journal http://cyndiva.com/blog.cfm?feature=78227&postid=30943 As you all know we have come to the time of year that we Americans affectionately know as &quot;the holiday season.&quot; As the end of the year approaches people begin to look back over the previous year and reflect on its ups and downs. I am a person who knows intimately how short life can be. I am grateful everyday. But for a change I decided to share with you an entry from my gratefulness journal. I am ever so thankful today because I got to see today through my glasses/contact lenses that I purchased for myself. I am wonderfully blessed to have my family and friends though they may drive me up a wall at times. It is a wall that I am grateful to scale from time to time. I am awe struck to say that I am in love with a man who is still in love with me after all these years. I am proud to be a homeowner. I do not have everything that I want, but I have most of what I need. I live in a country/state/city/neighborhood where I am free to have an opinion and beliefs that may or may not agree with everyone else's. I pray peace for women all over the world who cannot say the same. I have been blessed with the gift of song, and though I do not know all that I want to know about music, I know enough to keep me busy and happy most of the time. I am tickled to have children who talk to me because they want to. I do not have lots of friends but the ones I have are consistent and worth it. I still have dreams left in front of me that give me purpose and the desire to try again each day. I am proud of the adult that I am becoming (I'm still a work in progress). I am honored that my friends/family members come to me for advice. I am all around grateful to be alive and well in America at such a time as this!! Yes we can!
