Questionnaire

I have written a numerous amount of biographies for others.  I have had no problems with finding the words that give an interesting description of others.  This has been something that has plagued me when I have needed to give an interesting description of me.  I have decided this is because I have not been able to examine every aspect of myself.  The one thing I always say about myself is, I am an open book.  I mean what I say, and I say what I mean.  If there is anything asked of me I do my best to be as truthful as possible.  With this in mind, I decided, needed to ask myself questions in order to get a full description of myself for myself.

What do you want the people, who knew you, to remember about you once you are gone?  What are the things you hold special?  What do you want to teach others?  What have you learned from your struggles?  What have you learned from your triumphs?  Are you doing what is good?  Are you doing what is bad?  Are you taking responsibility for all of you actions?  Have you asked for forgiveness in the situations where you were wrong?  Were you kind?  Were you devilish?  Were you thoughtful when needed?  Where you strong when needed?  Where you vulnerable when needed? There are so many more questions, answered and unanswered.  I realized that the questions are actually too many to count.  I do not take that as a reason not to answer them, I take it as a reason to examine myself often.

I can still say that I am an open book.  I don't really have anything to hide.  What makes a difference to me is that now I can give an interesting description about myself.  A description that is true to who I know myself to be.

Sybil's bio:
As the mother of five, the sister of one, the wife of one, the cousin of over 100, the niece to many, the confidante to a few and the friend to several, she has a pretty good grasp of handling different personalities.  Kind-hearted and strong-willed, she is a lover of information, music and God.  Out of these loves, has come a love of writing.  She has interviewed such musical groups as, Helter Skelter, to musical acts ranging from the 80's famous The Intelligent Hoodlum, to Adina Howard, Tamia and Ne-Yo.  The interviews have also included human rights stories and religious based.  She has a great talent that allows others, at large, to feel comfortable in telling their stories with her.  She isn't afraid of asking the harder or taboo questions to get the true and real story.  Sybil has a big heart that she wears on her sleeve.  Ironically, she is extremely shy and does have to take time to warm up to others.  Once she is your friend it takes a lot to get on her bad side, once on that side though you are on that side.  Sybil has a forgiving heart but not a forgetting heart so  then you would be treated accordingly.  Sybil will stand strong on her faith and her beliefs in life.  She has no qualms with having a debate on the issues. The important thing to know about Sybil is that if she said it, she means it.

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
