so true

Sleep in, make coffee, spend the day working on your craft, live life for inspiration, around midnight that creative spark strikes and you’re up til your brain burns out. Repeat.

November- a month to be grateful

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:27:38 -1000

November 24, 2011… Happy thanksgiving friends and family!

This thanksgiving day I have to give thanks to God for the guidance he has provided me in the past few months. He’s been the one I’ve fallen back on. He has given me the best love ever. Blessing me with wonderful friends of both old and new. Blessing me with a loving and supportive family… I can’t explain how much I thank him every day of my life for being so wonderful.

Last year I didn’t enclose a thanksgiving post- I was too busy preparing dinner but this year, I decided to take it easy. Slow down and bit and enjoy what’s around me… take in and be thankful.

- I wanted to thank my buddies- Adam, Jermy, Jessie and Ian for being the best anyone could ask for. I know you know I’ve been going through some troubles and I have to thank you for being there for me from margarita nights to coffee session to gym time. You guys have been the shoulder that has helped me cope through the toughest times. Thank you!

- To my aunties… I know you know who you are, I don’t have to name you but you guys have been such good support through it all- keeping me positive. There is no other person/people who can replace what you do for me even if you guys are far.

- To Mary and Laura (my sisters) thanks for all the positive vibes I got from you two. My heart thanks you so much for all you have done for me. Even if you guys had your own troubles you always had time to comfort me- to let me know how much you care.

- To Karen, Skye and Sherie… for accepting me back in your lives even if I was gone for years. I count that as a true blessing. I know I can always fall back on friends like you guys. Big big sorry for missing out but you guys know how much I still love you guys. Thanks for being such wonderful friends!!

- To my homegirl Jaynell who is far… thanks for keeping me company every morning with texts and positiveness all around. Hurry up and come home already!

- To my Starbeezy buddies Ronnie, Chez, Jenelyn… the ones who really kept in touch with me on a daily basis. You guys are incredible. Thank you for believing in my dreams and not the drama! You guys have been more than old coworkers but true friends.

- To Marie… I owe you so much for all you have done within the past few months. Keeping me positive and on my toes… I have no other words than how grateful I am for all that you do.

Thanksgiving day is a just a day to celebrate thankfulness… but make sure you thank God for all you appreciate daily.

Shoots, I’m out- need to make some ham and bacon meatballs for dinner! Cheers!

Eat good food, drink good wine and be in good spirits!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

Love,
Cherdizzle

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 21:01:06 -1000

No title enclosed on this one. I’m just gonna make this drop on a personal level then you can just nod your head and say that maybe this happened to you or not.

I remember when I was young I would swing on the swings at the park. I enjoyed going high and higher and when I did hit the high point on the swing it felt good that when I would hit the low part I felt sick. Go high again and it felt good once again- this feeling continued until I would stop playing on the swings.

My life consisted of so many highs and so many lows… the year or so I’ve been on this ultimate high, enjoying my new life as a graphic designer, get paid for something I love doing most, taking in life that I was oblivious to in the past. I shared my high with the ones I loved, family, friends and even a special someone- hoping I would never get down from it. I then realized my high slowly going down hill- I felt like I was on that swing, but this time it’s going slowly… making me sick to my stomach.

I’m feeling the low of that “swing of life” and while I’m low, I’ve been feeling friction at my feet, (kindah like how you stop yourself from that swing)… That low is slowing me down from getting back high. So right now, it’s time to stop the swing in life figure things out, put everything into place, gather my senses to remember how it felt to feel to be on that high.

I keep reminding myself that I’ve been through worse, I’ve been through almost everything… never did I experience a heartache (maybe twice but the guy broke my heart to be with someone else). I’ve always broken hearts and I guess it’s my time to experience it. I’ve never been in this place and this place feels like the whole swing experience. I felt so high when I was with this person and now that it’s all said and done, I’m at a low…

I’m slowly rocking back and forth waiting for that perfect lift. And when I get that lift again I hope that high will last forever.

Brief Boredom #6 (Make it Big)

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 23:10:06 -1000

Current Listens: 9th Wonder- Make it Big ft. Big Remo

So, I haven’t done any brief boredom entry lately because I haven’t had a brief moment to write, been busy with contemplating on the things I need to do and focus on. Today, I made a promise to myself that I need to focus on many things. And my primary focus is to focus on myself- work from the inside, out.

For almost a week now I have been working out and I’ve found it a stress reliever and a very good way to keep myself healthy. I’m doing it because I need it, been putting out this plan for too long. I’ve been eating less and watching my diet… I find myself hungry at times but nothing an apple or banana can’t solve or even wheat thins…

Decided to go on a healthy route these days because I am not getting any younger. I need to be more cautious of the things I intake. I’ve been on this healthy move for a while and I find myself great- more energy than I did before. I don’t feel like my legs are so heavy these days… I honestly have been lazy for quite some time and this change is pretty huge. It’s making an impact on my life and even inspiring my mom to go a little more healthier.

I haven’t cooked in a while but when I do cook again I’m gonna make a fancy lean meal that will taste fantastically incredible.

So, that part is the out part of me… I wanna work also on my inside (soul)… I need to learn to be a little more patient, a little more soft-hearted, a little more soft spoken, a little more courageous, a little more cautious about the way I think, a little more open to what comes my way, a little more excepting to changes (not everything can stay the same) or excepting things that will not change… but absolutely more to find my way into a spiritual peace of mind.

I guess I’ve been thinking a bit too much but this is what will make me a better me- I hope.

With good people by my side, I know I can make it big!!!

Good night!
