"SWEET SOUL SISTER" BIOGRAPHY -VOCALS AND
LYRICS BY CINDY HORYZA (C.L. SOULEY)



"I’ve spent most of my life being loyal to mankind,
only to discover and find, there is a purpose, a joy, a light
that guides me through in-spite of my fight."


It mattered too much what others thought of me.
Imagined or real, I was constantly worried about what others
thought. What I came to see was all that matters at the end of the
day is...What I think of me.

I left a lot of claw marks and sometimes I left trenches and moved in and furnished them. All suffering stems from attachment and success is measured in the number of ways that I am willing to surrender to the universes plan. Not my will be done.

Chorus: "I am what I am
The observer the friend,
The lover I thought God would never send;
I’m a sweet soul sister with my journey mapped out,
returning within, having no doubt."

My true nature is peaceful; free flowing, loving and compassionate. I am the observer of my own mind, I can tame my mind by watching the thinker without judgment, I am the only one that can be my best friend, and lover. As It has been said many times, we must be able to love ourselves first before we can love someone else. I looked for love in all the wrong places.

My journey is pre-destined. My ego was so big I thought I had control over how my life should be. Remember the saying; Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans. Once I stopped resisting the flow of my life, it got better for me.

I also had to stop looking outside of myself for my answers. Other people do not have my answers, my answers lie within. I am not lost I never have been. I realized I was pre-programmed from the world and its ways.

Verse 2: "I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew best. If souls would only listen, chances are they would rest,
At the end of the day; I came to see
that every soul is not needing me."

I thought It was my job to make people happy and to find a solution for them. I remember reading in the bible: Jesus was not able to minister in his own town. I thought I knew what was best for family members, I wanted them to have what I had, and they wanted nothing to do with it. I also spent a great deal of my life regretting my past, when I learned that really we have no past. All my events and struggles happened in the NOW. I do not have the answers for others and in fact I am interfering with their life purpose and process when I try to provide them with my views. I’m only a person’s teacher if they want to be taught. When the student is ready the teacher will appear.

I do not know what the universe has for me let alone someone else. I have learned to trust the flow of the universe for myself. It is none of my business what others do with their lives.

"Living in my mind, being loyal and true"

I believed everything my mind said I was. My mind focused primarily on my past. Once I learned there is no past, I had true freedom to embrace the now. What a gift.

My identity was what my mind said I was. I had over identified with my mind; thoughts become feelings. I had a mind that was bent on self destruction. I call it my critic. It was eager and willing to pounce on any negative message I had received and learned from my so – called past. Being over – identified with my mind caused me to react constantly. We are what we think. What was coming at me was coming from me. I was co-creator of my suffering and unhappiness; today I am co-creator of my happiness and Joy. Watching my own mind was like shinning a light on the darkness of my life. I was then able to have a great NOW.

This is the meaning of Sweet Soul Sister Song. I was amazed at how my soul opened up and wrote this song. My” know” in me knew before my worldly me knew the words to this song. This was the very first song I had ever written. I wondered how I would put music to it, and without hesitation; the music flowed as though it had been in me all along. I use this song as my mantra. It is my reminder to live currently.
