Hello My Friends,
I’m not sure how July came so fast, but ready or not, it’s here. It occured to me it was the first Monday in July yesterday, so I thought I would do a Move it Monday but it didn’t turn out the way I hoped with all of the outside noises and technical difficulties. So this morning, I took it inside to avoid the distractions. While it’s not the setting I hoped for with the singing birds and music, you can at least hear me. The picture is the backdrop which I had hoped to share with you.
I hope you had a wonderful 4th and took some time for reflection and joy with loved ones during these sad and confusing times. We will persevere! That’s who we are so never lose sight of that.
Life changes and while we used to go to the lake with all of the kids, everyone is in different spots these days and we are knee deep into the throws of the remodel and preparing for the upcoming wedding; so we continue to pack and purge. As they say, things get worse before they get better, which seems like the continued mantra for our world at the moment.
Thanks to some incredible friends, we did celebrate with a delectable meal and enjoyable comradery. Hope yours was lovely as well.





Stay Blessed and keep your chin up as we face these challenging times together.

Looks like you had a wonderful 4th of July, Cindy. Love the post and photos. Glad you enjoyed. ๐
Thanks so much Grace! Glad you liked it and hope you did as well! It was a nice change of pace !๐๐๐๐ท
My pleasure. I sure did. Mine was low key but fun. Glad you enjoyed.๐
A wonderful celebration.
Thanks a lot Tim it really was. I’m sure you had a great one too.. ! Heading to read you now! ๐๐ผ๐๐๐๐น
Good to know that you had a good time with friends, dear Cindy ๐ very nice photos๐ you have a youtube channel as well, i didn’t know that๐ will surely explore it soon๐
Thanks so much Saima! It was a lovely day and hope you enjoyed it as well. I do! Hope you enjoy it. Will be happy to hear how you like the video from today when you get time. ๐๐ Thank you my friend. ๐
Sure, i will dear Cindy ๐๐
Thanks my friend!~ ๐
Thanks for the reminder to stay centered. When you video outside you always think it will turn out like a Disney movie with birds chirping and frogs croaking, instead you only hear lawnmowers and construction workers. ๐. I am glad you had a good 4th. ๐คโค๏ธ๐
You’re welcome Scott and I’m sooo laughing because that was exactly it and my words got swallowed up by exactly that. I was like excuse me, isn’t it the 4th.. why are workers blowing today and I so wanted to tell them to STOP but how was I to get there attention when I was teaching!๐๐๐
, It was good to break for dinner! hope you did as well!!๐๐๐๐
Girlfriend, you are such a ball of encouragement and inspiration. Loved your video (this present moment) and the recap of your lovely 4th of July gathering. Your cat knows how to photobomb your tranquil moments. ๐ธ๐๐ป LMBO The food looked yummy. I so agree with your mantra:
“We will persevere! Thatโs who we are so never lose sight of that.”
By the way, did you by chance make your patriotic corn hole game? That was a nice, FUNyay touch! Enjoy the rest of our dazzling week dawwwwlinkkkkk! Hugs and smooches!!! ๐คฉ๐๐๐ฅ๐
Oh, I’m just thrilled you took time to watch it dear Kym. I’m really happy you enjoyed it and Ollie steals the show and she’s so darn cute, how could she not. The one I did outside, she jumped up on the computer and sat on it.. lol ๐๐๐ It was really lovely and Om, Om, Om to that!! That’s our daily job. You know I didn’t play but we usually do. Thanks my friend. You do the same and lots of love and hugs back! ๐๐๐๐๐
Thanks for this practice Cindy…i did this (followed you) this morning when i woke up…feels better and relax now…
You’re so welcome Mich and I’m so happy to hear that you feel more relaxed. It makes it all worth making… ๐๐๐๐ thanks for sharing that with me. ๐๐๐
Looks like a great all-American 4th Cindy. ๐ I really enjoyed your movements, meditation and talk. I feel better just listening.
It was with fireworks and all. I could barely look with all of the fires and the environment issues but it wasn’t my party so I soaked up the energy and fun of it all. Awww how sweet you did my video. I’m thrilled you feel better! Much appreciated John!! ๐๐๐
A lovely post and video, my dearest Cindy. You are always so full of love and light, and we need more of it today, and in the future. Thank you for always sharing yourself with us! Much love you you, my friend. โค๏ธ
Thank you so much Jeff. I’m thrilled you enjoyed my post and video truly. Thanks so much for your kind hearted message. It inspires me to continue my journey of sharing my heart and truth. Much appreciated my dear friend for always supporting my journey. ๐๐๐๐
Happy 4th Cindy! You got a chance to celebrate in between all the chaos. Did the things clear?
And to you my dear friend! It was nice to get out of dodge for a little while. Soooo weird.. after 5 hours of working on it with Apple, I shut it down for about 4 hours and it worked.. soooo strange. I guess it knew I needed a break… ๐๐๐๐ xo Thanks for asking and your friendship! ๐๐
May be it was in dire need of break and you too….thanks to you too for your friendship….I send you a way out of archives…see if it works๐ ๐
hahahaha.. yes, I think you’re so right. Oh great.. I’ll look tonight.. back to back client load today and contractors.. I think we’re getting somewhere. ๐๐ Thanks tons! ๐๐
Glad to hear that! Work will be completed soon
Work work work
Play soon pray!1 ๐๐น๐
Looks like you enjoyed cheer, friendship, and delicious food on your 4th. Fun! I will follow and enjoy your video in the AM. Thank you, Cindy! ๐ค

A belated Happy Fourth! We had a good evening. We enjoy going to the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra’s Red White & Boom show … they play well, it’s an Americana program that fits the day, they always have wonderful guests, and a ending with a nice fireworks display. Cheers!
Hi Frank!
Thanks and glad you had such a spectacular time. It sounds like it was phenomenal! What a lovely experience! ๐๐๐ท
Great food and fun for the 4th! This year we took the 5th and kept things on the down low! Ah!! Heavenly! For the first time in a while we had a long and peaceful weekend and we did nothing more than a little gardening and grilling burgers. It was great!! Now back to reality. You look terrific in that photo with you leg up in the air balancing on one foot; I’m quite sure if I tried I’d be spinning around like Lucille Ball in her cockamamie attempts to be a ballerina! Lol!! Thanks, my dear friend, for kicking our butts and helping us stay in shape. ๐ ๐ ๐ช๐ผ ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ ๐ ๐บ๐ธ
Beautiful and lovely post, Cindy. Loved your YouTube. Nice to know you had a wonderful Fourth. Keep it going. ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Thank you so much Kamal and so happy you enjoyed the YouTube. So much Appreciated!1 ๐๐๐๐ Onward forward like we say and you too!

You are always welcome dear Cindy and keep it going. Lots of love and light โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Thanks dear.. xo ๐๐๐

What else is there right?!!! Always nice to keep things on the down low too I agree! That sounds lovely. Oh thanks so much.. i better be able to do that or my client load will be gone in a nanosecond.. lol. Oh that is a hysterical visual!!! Oh you’re the best and thanks for letting us know..
Hi Cindy, I am glad you had a good day. The news is depressing so I find it best to only partake of it in small doses and to focus my attention on the things I can control and gain happiness from.
Thanks a lot Robbie! That makes more sense than anything as our nervous systems can’t handle that much and it’s overloading and circuits short with all of this.. Thanks for checking in and your important message! ๐๐
Beautiful post & video! Hope you had a blast 4th of July Cindy! โค๏ธ๐บ๐ธ
oops Misae… sorry.. xo๐๐๐
Thanks truly Mich. So much appreciated. It was lovely and low key.
Hope you did too!

Whoa, those are some pretty nimble moves, Cindy! And lol at your cat trying to be the star of the video. Just like that, half a month has passed since this post. Time really is flying by at a terrifying rate. Anyway, thanks for this post!
Thanks Stu but maybe explains the hip pain! Yikes. I know that girl is always stealing the show! She’s pretty hysterical. I know … how did time fly so fast.. Thank you my friend!!
