So many people

These days I’m practicing drawing people, especially faces. In a class I’m taking at Sketchbook Skool, drawing a face a day was one of the assignments, so I was right on track for getting lots of practice. Sometimes I get very overwhelmed when I think about how many people there are in the world. Every person holds a million stories.
All those stories! All the hopes, dreams, fears and lives that are changing every single minute. It makes my head spin. And my heart break. I will never know all those stories. I can only know my own and the stories and lives of a few people I know.
This piece is for all the people in the world. May we all have peace, love and a sense of home.

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."
