September 3, 2020 by Cynthia Morris 1 Comment

Happy 20th birthday, OriginalImpulse.com!

I received a notice recently from my web host. In the email, I saw that I had registered the domain on September 3rd, 2000. A twenty-year-old web site, imagine that!

With the help of the Way Back Machine, I was able to go back in time and gather images of my website through the years.

What’s cool is that while the look of the site has changed, the message of my work has stayed consistent. For over twenty years, I have been an advocate for our creativity as a necessity for our well-being. I’ve used my coaching skills and experience as a writer and artist to walk alongside thousands of creative people who have been ready, willing, and able to say YES to their creative dreams.

My website and newsletter have evolved over the years, and so have I. I’m happy to say that while the style of the sites may be outdated, I’m still proud of the design of each of these iterations. While design trends have come and gone, my commitment to writing and creativity as sources of personal growth and empowerment has always stayed steady.

Here are six versions of OriginalImpulse.com. Of course, the seventh version is the one you see now.

    Dear Cynthia, happy birthday! How amazing to see you & your website evolve. I’m sorry I missed a big junk, got sucked into many years of intense caring. Now living a new creative chapter, have opened my new healing practice & happy to be reconnecting. Wishing you well.

Creative Success Stories

"Being coached by Cynthia highlighted my unrevealed gifts. Our time together has revolutionized the way I work and lead my companies.

Her wisdom about creativity and productivity has added value to every area of my life from personal health to creativity and generating wealth.

I would have never imagined that this powerhouse of a creative would help me grow, connect to my heart and improve my companies in so many areas. Cynthia’s coaching is like supercharging a normal engine; there is no comparison."

John Marsh
Founder, Marsh Collective

"For years, I struggled with this belief that I wasn't good enough, that I wasn't a real writer, that I wouldn't be able to follow through. Your coaching and support opened something in me that had gone dormant.

With your words in my ears and my heart finding new excitement, I pushed the words across the page. My first novel is complete. You, dear Cynthia, helped me lay the dominoes. I can’t thank you enough for the motivation, the inspiration, and the reminder that I was meant to write."

Tabetha Hedrick
Author

"Cynthia has given me my writing voice. I can now say I am a writer. My newsletter readers tell me how much they love receiving it!

Cynthia has a great spark of life that just shines out. She engages in a way that encourages you to challenge yourself as a writer and is there to help pull you out if you get stuck or lost."

Ruth Dent
Artist

"Cynthia helped me drive a short story across the finish line. I recommend Cynthia if you want to learn about your own writing process in an experiential way and get practice on things like letting go of perfectionism for a greater goal."

Roseanne
Writer

"Cynthia helped me so much to develop a writing practice. I love her approach to combining creativity and action. It's gentle and effective and highly self compassionate."

Laila Atalah
Writer

"Because of my work with Cynthia, I have been able to embrace my artist's path and choose a lifestyle that truly speaks to my soul. Instead of trying to be and do everything, I now follow my true desires with courage, joy and serenity.

Cynthia is intuitive, down-to-earth, straightforward and honest. She can read between the lines, and she never lets me run away, give in and give up. Cynthia is a fabulous mentor and an amazing artist."
