MEET YOUR AUTHOR
Hi, I'm Cindy.
I'm a thirty-something year old gal full of southern charm who lives in a small town in OHIO. I love being barefoot and still wear pretty dresses just so I can twirl around in them. I'm a daughter of the King and have chosen to live - no, truly live - up to my destiny of radiating His light.

THE TRUTH>>
WHEN DO YOU FEEL
THE MOST ALIVE?
I LOVE adventuring. In fact, I feel most alive when I'm living fearlessly. There is nothing sweeter than seeing the world through a lens of gratitude -- with no fear and throwing all ambitions clearly at the moment in front of you.
The only way that I can write about adventuring is to first acknowledge the spirit behind the gal with a desire to live life to the full. Sure, I love packing my suitcase like anyone, but it's not about the destination at all.

THE TRUTH>>
There is a big difference between happiness and JOY. In fact, what the world shows you on a daily basis is not even close to the real thing. Oh friend, don't you want something real? I do.
Happiness focuses on feelings, and joy rests in truth. It is fixed on a foundation outside of yourself. It's your Creator: the One who designed you for a purpose. He gives hope on good days and bad. Until your focus shifts off of yourself, you will be attempting to fill an emptiness that nothing can fill.
JOY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.
TODAY IS A GIFT.
COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS! Let me encourage you to embrace living life to the full. When you combine a fearless attitude with gratitude, it changes everything.

Adventure comes in all shapes and sizes - and it starts with just a step forward. Sure, you love packing your suitcase as much as I do, but how often do you get to do just that? What if you were able to find that same joy in your every day life? Change your perspective to live each day as an adventure: try to do something each day that brings joy.
What are your fears? FACE THEM.
What are you afraid to do? DO THAT.
What have you been waiting your entire life to experience? GO DO IT.
