Celebrating a life!

At the end of this past week, someone special to me and to my family left this earth for a better place. My “uncle” Bill made this world a happier place. He had a big, kind heart and an incredible sense of humor. As kids, we even loved it when he [...]

Tonight I would like to share a quote and honor the moon…. from whence I get my name… Cynthia, meaning Goddess of the Moon (how about that! I think we all need a name like that.) The moon was quite impressive tonight. Very bright on a cold winter night. According [...]

Question for today….
Tuesday, January 15, 2008 ~
Today I would like to simply pose a question for you to ponder. We all think about our life purpose, our mission, our life’s work, and even our “job.” When thinking about your life’s work/purpose…..what would you pay someone to do? What do you love that much that you would pay [...]

Creativity that vanishes!
Sunday, January 13, 2008 ~
I was reading today about an attraction in Sweden called The Ice Hotel. I’d heard of it before, but never read about it. It is just what it says it is… a hotel made entirely out of ice. Every year snowbuilders, architects, designers, and artists from around the world come and [...]
