Friday Reads: This week's stack

This weeks stack of books. Yes I am reading all of these. There’s a whole other stack of books I’m not actually reading. In the stack you will see hints of where I am traveling this year, hints about an e-book I am writing and the art I am making, the novel of a friend, and a book related to my overall goal of thinking more creatively. I am such a book glutton and love how the books I read change my life in such a direct way.

Friday reads – books that spark my creativity this week

This week’s reads. Just finished the novel Britt-Marie Was Here and starting Troubling Love. Really enjoying When Strangers Meet – very important message for us now as we need to focus on our common humanity and not differences being used to divide us. Beautiful Money is helping me keep my financial game healthy and happy. Urawaza is odd, funny and useful. Loving how Ways of Curating is making me think about art differently. The Island Japan book is a great way to see an illustrated adventure. The Art of Vinyasa is my teachers’ book that I got last night at their signing. Can’t wait to dive in. What are you reading today?

What books are in your beach bag this summer?

On my recent birthday trip, I had zoomed past the beach turn-off, and slamming on the brakes, took a quick turn into the next place. Guess what? I had come upon a little bookstore, Titcombs Bookshop in Sandwich, MA. Of course I had to delay the beach for books! Inside, the tiny shop was full […]

Read This: 29 Gifts by Cami Walker

Often the things that are most powerful are also the most counter-intuitive.
For instance, if you were diagnosed with a debilitating and life-threatening illness, would you think the path to healing would involve giving, giving and more giving?

Juju Infusion 15: Crafting a Revision Plan

I like to think that fifteen is my lucky number. It was my number when I played basketball and softball as a girl. I’m on draft fifteen of my novel Chasing Sylvia Beach, and this is episode fifteen of Juju Infusion.  Lucky numbers aside, I want to report on the juju I gathered in Paris […]

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."
