Read This: Creating Time by Marney Makridakis

I’m excited to recommend Creating Time: Using Creativity to Reinvent the Clock and Reclaim Your Life by Marney Makridakis.
This is a very clever and useful book that invites new ways to be with, think about, and mold time so we can create more.
More about the book.
Enjoy my video review.

    Hi Cynthia,
    What a wonderful way to do a book review ! Lively, quick and perfectly on target. I can’t wait to get Creating Time, especially after the way you’ve presented it. I also can’t wait to go look up your other reviews. Thanks for being so inspirational. Andrea
    P.S. I can’t wait to see the day you write your own illustrated book !

    Thanks, Barb and Andrea!
    I love reading and recommending books, but I’m terrible at writing reviews. I decided to act like I did when I was a bookseller urging someone to read a book. Short, sweet and specific about what the book inspired in me.
    Don’t you worry that enthusiasm! Tea-fueled excitement is always welcome here, Andrea!

Cynthia Morris novel Her Lisbon Colors

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."
