Trusting Your Instincts

Posted on April 13, 2021April 13, 2021 by cynthiarogan

Have you ever let fear keep you from doing something? If that something is physically dangerous, then fear might be the first step toward your survival. But what if the something you’re afraid of can’t physically hurt you? What if the fear of it holds you back—keeps you from moving forward or enjoying life to…

When the Time is Right

Posted on March 14, 2021March 14, 2021 by cynthiarogan

I love spring. Especially after a cold winter. It’s not so much the milder temperatures. It’s the birth—the rebirth. The trees—their leaves turned brown and fell off. So they spent the fall and winter having nothing to clothe them and keep them warm except the memory of the sun and the leaves. The flowers went…

Why Did They Do That?

Posted on February 10, 2021March 14, 2021 by Cynthia

Like many of us, I was a shy kid. It was hard for me to make friends.   I know now—I was just an introvert trying to build one-to-one relationships in a world of group settings.  We didn’t talk about “feelings” in my family, so I had to figure my own way around it. One day…

FINGERS CROSSED

Posted on January 14, 2021March 11, 2021 by Cynthia

2020 was tough. It has justifiably become our first numeric cuss word.  For my family 2020 began a few weeks early when we lost my grandson just before Christmas. He was a beautiful young man who made everybody smile, but he was experimenting. A huge risk took him away from his life and from us. …

Two Good Things

Posted on November 26, 2020November 26, 2020 by Cynthia

Two really good things happened in 2020—and that’s saying a lot. I’m so excited. My website has gone through a complete overhaul. It’s new and updated and beautiful. (Thank you, Erica.) If you haven’t seen it, please take a few minutes to look it over. Or, get a cup of coffee or tea, maybe a…

Tossing the Chimes

Posted on February 11, 2019 by Cynthia

I used to sing. Years ago. But when I decided to have kids, I willingly gave it up. I wanted to be home with my girls. But I missed it. So sometimes I’d get the kids settled down (nap time, color time, Sesame Street) and I would go into my room, close the door and…

Flipping Good

Posted on February 3, 2019 by Cynthia

I was driving home tonight. It was already dark. I imagine the Super Bowl was still going on but, I’m not sure. I didn’t watch it. I had a writing project to work on. I turned a corner and caught movement in my peripheral. It was a boy, probably between five and seven. He was…

Lies, Lies, Lies

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Cynthia

Mr. Rogers died. Then came the story about how he was a Navy Seal and a sniper in Vietnam with 25 confirmed kills to his credit. And . . . the reason he always wore a sweater was to cover up his tattoos. I was shocked. I always saw him as a sort of bland…

We must believe

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Cynthia

Marie Curie said: “Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all, confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” So . . . that’s why I spend my spare time writing, editing and,…

Going places

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Cynthia

Mama used to tell this story about how I came home from first grade in hysterics. The teacher said we were going to read the next day and I was horrified. How was I supposed to read? I didn’t know how. I insisted Mama teach me that very night so I’d be ready. She tried…
