MEET YOUR AUTHOR
hey sis!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.
![IMG_6798.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a69da1_70f4e76b2b9c42c3869e35c283dc2ec5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_627,h_470,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/IMG_6798.jpg)
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 that lifestyle 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 really about the destination at all.
I kinda hate that, don't you? My momma always told me that I could travel to escape my problems but when I got to a new spot, I'd still have the same problems. Adventure is more than a new location, it's a consistent practice of fearless living.

I started solo traveling during the pandemic. When the rest of the world decided to shut down, I had to take a step out. Truthfully, in those moments, I found myself - the real me. Those were the days that I fell in love with coffee and driving with the windows down -- with no plan and only spontaneity to guide me. I couldn't have done it without a mind-shift.
LET'S TALK ABOUT
THIS LITTLE THING
called courage.

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. 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. For me, it's my Creator: the One who designed me for a purpose. He gives hope on good days and bad. I'm learning that until my focus shifts off of myself, I will be attempting to fill an emptiness that nothing can fulill.
Not your thing? I get it. I'm not here to convince you nor do I have it all together, but I'd love to tell you my story and what I've learned on my journey.
WHAT DOES JOY LOOK LIKE ON THE DAILY?
self-discovery starts now.

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.
Sometimes adventure just starts with the boldness of saying yes. A small change is still change.
HOW DO I VIEW LIFE AS AN ADVENTURE?
need inspiration?
