On this day, I write

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Cynthia

Robert Dugoni opened the Surrey conference I just attended. “On this day, I write,” was the ending phrase of his speech. If you’d like to hear it, please click here. It is inspirational.

Whatever I want

Posted on March 13, 2011 by Cynthia

This is the first blog on my new website. Russell Turney (my friend and fellow author who set this up for me) said I could write whatever I wanted to. Funny, I guess I always knew that. That I could write whatever I want, I mean. Even if I couldn’t do what I wanted, or…
