“I
just had to write you to thank you for the beautiful article you wrote in the
“Lamorinda Weekly.” After a very long day, coming home late, and
cleaning up after dinner, I just had to tell you what a treat it was to read
your article a few minutes ago. I just smiled all the way through your
article and connected with nature in my kitchen.
You have an amazing ability to reflect the personal joy that you carry
inside you, Cynthia. Reading about your parent’s magical
presentation to you and your siblings just warmed my heart. What a
precious memory you shared with your readers. I continue to understand why you
are so special and have one of the biggest hearts I know. Your story and
accompanying pictures and checklist were truly my favorite part of the entire
paper and for that matter, anything else I have read lately as it pertains to
the winter garden. Thank you, thank you, Cynthia for all you do to brighten this
world. “

writing is soul-stirring and motivating, touching and provocative. I love
including her beautifully written stories on my site's front page. Her stories
offer a wonderful perspective for my site visitors to ponder - a kind of clarity
so important in today's rush-rush world. Cynthia reminds us to slow down, be
grateful, listen and enjoy each moment. In effect, she lifts our collective
spirit."
