Happy Wise Wednesday or or share your heart day❣️
Have a listen here and spare your eyes or read on below.
You may remember 2 weeks ago Ingrid and I had our launch party for my book RE-CREATE & CELEBRATE: 7 Steps to Turn Your Dreams Into Reality. What I didn’t tell you is right after we celebrated with my 2 pregnant girls at the Wine Adventure in Lake County, CA where we have our lake cottage. It has been a tradition for the last several years and how could we refuse having designated drivers-:)❣️
One of our stops was Lajour Winery that our friend Cheryl and Dave own, where we are members. We got Hunter our Husky/Sheppard pup dog from them 11 years ago. He’s one of 11 puppies and the best of the litter if you ask us. To know him is to love him as you all know. Aside from seeing them and tasting their great wines and food parings, I meant a woman that I heard was an author as well.
We had a wonderful connection. It turns out I recognized her name and said “we’re friends on Word Press”. She also was on T.V. for her book but it turns out she had taken her book off the market and closed her WP account because she moved into despair. She lost her kids to a cult, and was devastated. She had given up all hope and had been in despair for quite sometime. She said “I want to buy your book” and she did just that and I got amazing texts telling me that she had new hope and was re-inspired to continue on her mission. The best affirmation was seeing the text that she shared with a picture of her book with all of her notes in it, using it as I intended.
I am getting her in touch with my friends that have also known the struggles of losing their daughter to a cult and they will be in touch.
My point in sharing this with you is to share your gifts with others, things you are passionate about and know that has something to offer. You never know where or what will come of it but if you don’t share it, one thing is sure and that is you won’t make a difference anywhere. Some people think of this as bragging or selling and for some it may be just that but for others of us, we have something we want to share with the world that we think could make a difference. Think how selfish it would be it we didn’t share the gifts that we have inside of us that just might touch one person. Some of us are too afraid to share what is important to us for the fear that we will sound like we are know it alls or we are bragging. Terry Cole-Whittaker, minister of United Church of Religious Science and author of the book “What You Think of Me is None of My Business“ in 1979’s words still ring true for me. I’m reminded that I never mean to hurt anyone ever but not everyone is going to like what we have to say.
Wisdom ‘s words echo,
when hearts resonate.
Sharing truth, bearing souls,
and taking down the façade.
Listening closely to
what’s emerging,
moment to moment,
between the lines.
Silence speaks,
when words pale.
Quill in hand,
heart in throat.
We take what comes,
throw the rest to the wind,
act on hunches.
Give voice to truth,
Let the magic begin.
Thank you to all of you who have written reviews on my book tour and to those of you who have written reviews on Amazon as well! Yes, I got your Devang, thank you! Also, thanks for the newest ones, Selma from Japan, Marsha Ingrao & Vicky Lawson. I can’t tell you how much they help the book. I’m finally getting my author copies and will start meeting with book stores soon.
Here’s our launch party if you missed it and want to have a peek.
Have a wonderful Wednesday sharing your heart and message today. Trust it!
See you Friday for a tour of our near completion of our remodel, YES! Finally. Today we are painting the redwood in our living room. Sac-religious I know which is why I’ve kept them for 25 years but it’s time for change! I’m a bit nervous but fingers and toes crossed! I’ve thought long and hard and am making the plunge. Most painters walked in and wouldn’t do it but this painter said “YES, let’s do this”!
Blessings of Wisom as you share your heart,
❤️

Thank you! ❣️
Welcome Cindy
..
How do you get such creative ideas
Should be “losing their daughter to a cult…”
But yes, this is sooo fantastic, Cindy, when we can uplift someone like this!!! Love her story and I would love to chat with her too!
Hi Sheila, oh thanks so much I’ll go look now. I know it was wonderful as this would be devastating to all of us. Oh I’ll pass that on. Email me a contact number if possible. Thanks for your care.
You can pass my email on to her: sheila(dot)murrey@gmail(dot)com if you like.
thanks for the correction… bless you! ❣️
Sure! I have been hoping folks would point out any of my typos too but I really think most of us read fast! I also thought I could say it better, like “Happy Tip” or something.
It’s good to see you writing uplifting posts again🥰🎉
You mean instead of about the book? lol I agree.. hey can’t find your review? hugs.. 😊
Yup…the review is available on Amazon.. I checked it..it’s up on the website
wow… I wonder why I’m not seeing it.. probs cuz I’m so lame with technology! You’re a doll.. Thanks a lot my dear friend! 💗
Two of my best friends in Sacramento lost their daughter (who was also a friend of mine and remained so) to the Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh cult in Oregon, Cindy. I remember what a struggle they had trying to understand.
Oh that is soooo sad Curt! Gosh and I loved Rajneesh’s writings. Amazing how we can fall prey to such things but when we are struggling growing up, it’s amazing what can happen. So sorry.. did they ever get out or do you know? Soooo hard to understand and rips your heart out. 💗

Soooo hard! 💔
Great to see you in the video, Cindy and the blue of the shirt you are wearing is the blue I saw when I met my sister, Christina (of That Little Blue Dot (blog post), and of Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection (book on Amazon). I love it!!!
I also want to tell you (and for your book author friend), children do come out of Scientology, as Leah Remini did. And I love Leah’s show by the way.
Oh thanks my dear friend!!! It’s such a great color and I love that book cover you posted. That’s what you are referring to right? Thank God people come out of it! That is hope alright and wonderful to know. 💞

You may be thinking of the purple and blue book cover (for my holistic health book), but this time I am referring to the metaphysical book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection. Thank you, Cindy!
Congrats on the great launch party!
Thanks a lot Jacqui!!💞
Beautiful 🙏
Just what I needed this AM. So grateful for your friendship and courage 💞 ellia
Oh I’m so glad to hear that my soul sister! Thanks for tuning in! I’m more grateful than you know as the words come at a good time for me too! 💗
I love the title, “What you think of me is none of my business!” It’s a great line to use if someone insults you to your face or a “friend” tells you what they said. LOL I think our confident body language says that to people anyway. I get much fewer comments about what I should do, be or say now than I did when I was younger. There are some definite advantages to age as well! I’m sorry about your redwood walls on both accounts. It’s hard to get rid of them and it’s hard to keep them. A friend of mine has some beautiful dark wood walls from the 1890s. I don’t know what she is going to do, but she’s finally ready for some changes. At over 80 years old she wants to make her ancestral home her own.
I so agree with you Marsha! She was before her time and it’s a great one to remember which I have to use right now myself… lol. A few more wrinkles and graying hair seem to help me in that department. 😂💞 Oh man, you feel me but I gotta say, I’m like “why didn’t I do this sooner” even with the white primer on the walls. It’s like a breath of fresh air. I’ve sat with it forever and happy I pulled the trigger. Good luck to your friend! I have to agree.. Hello.. it’s my house and I get to choose! 👏💗👏
This is so uplifting, Cindy, and something positive seems to follow tragedy or distress in our lives. I’m so happy with your wonderful book reviews. I finished two books that I began a while ago, and I’m currently reading the next in line, then I will dive into yours. It waits patiently on my bookcase, and I love the cover! Anyway, once my book is released, I’ll have more time for reading. Congrats on the successful launch! Hugs! 💖
Thank you so much Lauren. That is always true too Lauren. I just have to say, I’m glad it’s not me going through this one. It’s not for the weary. Oh I’m impressed and I’m excited too to start reading again. I do hope you enjoy it! I always think and hope I’ll have more time for reading. Thanks and you’re up next! 💗
I can only imagine, Cindy, how difficult it would be…and I know I’ll enjoy your book! 🙂 Oh, I hope you enjoy mine, too, if that’s what you mean. I’m so tired right now, but I’m trying to read some blogs. Between my book and the SW Q & A, I fell behind again. Sigh…anyway, have a great evening! 💖
Prayers are answered in such ways, Cindy 🤍🙏
spreading hope and inspiring as always.
Congratulations on the launch party🎉
Thank you for sharing 🤍✨
Yes Desiny, that’s soooo true. Thank you so much and you’re welcome.. Thank you! 💞
always a pleasure 🤍✨
💗💞
Great launch party, Cindy. LOVE this poem. Happy Wednesday .💕
Thanks so much Grace and happy you enjoyed my poem. Happy Hump day to you too my friend! ❣️
My pleasure 💕
Thank you Cindy, you are a master at sharing your heart and life with great warmth and sensitivity.
Love the poem. How profound your insight …when silence speaks; when words fail…”
All the best in the paint project. Change is good, as good as rest too!
You’re so very welcome Suzette. It’s a good day for me to hear that my friend. Thank you for sharing that with me. I appreciate that and so far it’s proving to be exactly that! loving it so far! Change and rest.. I love that too! 💞❣️
I can’t imagine what it must be like to lose your daughter like that. From what I have learnt about cults, the people in them completely change. It’s like they’re not even the same person anymore.
Omg Pooja, me either. It is the worst form of brain washing and taking away autonomy than I’ve ever heard of. Come to think of it.. we have another friend lost to another one.. LORD!💞
That’s so sad. My aunt is in one and I kind of get why they recruited her, she’s always been someone that is easy to sway 😕
Wonderful
Thanks d.a. ❣️
So enjoyed this today Cindy. Your story of meeting this author at a winery was truly a moment of “maktoob” it was written for you both. Your poem is so good and so perfect for this moment.. I really loved all you said but the last verse is just perfect and for me very inspiring.
“We take what comes,
throw the rest to the wind,
act on hunches.
Give voice to truth,
Let the magic begin.”
Oh yes..this is the way and I call it Life’s little secret you have to discover.. You Have discovered it and are now sharing it with the world.. MashAllah..I hope your message falls on all the ears that need to hear it:) You are an inspiration!
Dearest Karima,
Thank you so much for your message here and on YouTube as well. I’m so honored by your words that always touch me deeply. You are a breath of fresh air, wisdom and joy. I’m so honored. So happy those lines spoke to you! ❣️❤️💞
YOU inspire me to always go deeper! 🙏🏼
Beautiful Cindy 🌹
Thank you so very much Francis! ❣️
You’re very welcome Cindy!
WOW Cindy, what a heartbreaking yet hopeful story. Your positive take is a breath of fresh air and I enjoyed your video girlfriend. I detest brainwashing of any kind. People know who to prey on (the most vulnerable and needy) and how to nab them in their web of deceit. Once they are in, it seems impossible for them to get out. This is so tragic, but thank you for sharing her story. 🤗🙏🏼😊
It really is Kym! Thanks for weighing in with your astute feedback!!!! I really appreciate you and always seeing the truth of unjust situations. Tragic is so right. I’m glad you liked the video my friend.!!! Let’s hope these ones are the exceptions!!! Hugs and love my friend. You’re welcome and thanks for being here. 💞
Oh my dear Cindy, as sad as this situation is, thank you for courageously bringing this story to the forefront. Sadly, this isn’t an isolated situation, but I hope more parents will have a conversation, among other things with their children sooner than later, because later may be too late. Thanks for your compassion. Hugs and smooches dawwwlinkkkk!!! 🥰💖😘💋😊
It really isn’t AND you’re so right about that. It’s a sad state of affairs! Hugs and love sweetheart!! 💗
Right back at ya dawwwwlinkkkkk! Have a SUPERlicious weekend! 😘💞🥰🍷😊
Thanks my friend and you too
! 💞
Always Energizer Mama! 🍹🥂🍷
Cheers 🥂🌴

It’s so heartwarming to hear about the positive impact of your book, Cindy. ♥
I agree wholeheartedly with your belief that we shouldn’t hesitate to share what is important to us. A lovely poem you shared.
Also, best of luck with the painting of your redwood in the living room.
Thank you so much Ritish. It is what we both aim to do in our work daily. I’m so glad you enjoyed my poem. Thanks so much.. so far so good.. it’s like a breath of fresh air! Have a great day! 💗
Your book is creating a lot of magic!!
Thanks for making it possible.
And I “hope” now you are sure about that I made a review there, haha
It does seem that way which is so fulfilling D.
You’re welcome and thanks for your faith in my and making the extra push to read it.
Hahahahaaha …It finally showed up and is soooo awesome. Thank you Big Time!
I hope you win… I’ll announce tomorrow! ❣️
I would rather not win
I don’t want to burden you to send me a book overseas. As I have business in logistics, I am aware of the price it would take to send 1 kg from usa to India or the opposite.
And yes, there are many American comments but definitely 1 Indian comment.
Will always support you. Eagerly waiting for part 2.
And sorry I cannot write on the book. I know you said it in the book. But I feel it’s too precious to spoil. 😍
How remarkable to comment with a random stranger and finding out that you’re already connected through WP. I’m glad your writing is helping her !
I know right Sadje!~. It’s so cool that our circle is connecting from all walks of life! Thank you Sadje! 💗
Very true! From people living in the same city, country too across the world
I know I love it! I wish we could have one big live party together! 😘
Yes, that’d be so much fun
What a lovely post, Cindy. “…Let the magic begin.” Good luck with the painting plunge.
Thank you so much Mary! Yes, to that. I’m loving it and thinking.. why didn’t I do this 25 years ago! 💞
❤️
💙
I must be behind AGAIN.. not sure why you aren’t showing up in my feed! Thanks Nanc
💗
You’re a busy author now 😂 ❣️
hahahaha true tho.. lol😂
What a wonderful thought, Cindy. Sharing our talents with the world can change someone’s life. Stay blessed sweet Cindy.
Yes. indeed it does and I’m glad you like that thought Ranjana! Thanks my friend.. btw, the wedding was awesome! 💗
Thank you Cindy for sharing our magical meeting at Lajour! So very grateful to have connected with you. Your a beautiful person!! Meeting you was a game changer for me in my journey to continue to reconnect with my two children. I have been shutdown for the last 3 years and lost my will to try to reach my kids. Thanks to you and your amazing book I’m back on my purpose.
Love,
Lori Hodgson ❤️❤️❤️
Dearest Lori! It was such a pleasure meeting you and I too loved our soul connection. I am sooooo delighted and I’m so excited to support you on this journey of reconnecting with your kids along with all us here which you can read in the comments. Hugs and love and always light. You are a beautiful person and I’m so delighted you are back on track.
Let love lead the way ❤️❤️❤️
Great to hear how your book is making a positive difference to people’s lives 🤩
Thank you so much Ingrid! Yes, I’m feeling very grateful! 💞🙏🏼💞
Hi Cindy, it sounds like you had a really wonderful time with your two pregnant daughters. It is amazing that they are pregnant at the same time. My oldest nephew is 15 and my sons are 20 and 17 so I was all alone with my sons when they were born. My sisters were so disinterested in babies, they never even visited me in the hospital. LOL.
It was a lovely time Robbie! It’s still shocking to me and even more so that it’s happening so fast and almost here. Oh that must have been so hard Robbie! They are so lucky to have cousins so close for sure!!! ❣️
I am used to being alone 🤗
Love that! Meeee too! 💗
What a wonderful post, Cindy! I’m so glad you found someone to paint your redwood. 💖
Thanks so much Eugi!!!
🙏🏼
Meee too and they nailed the color. it will be done tomorrow and I’m ecstatic!! 👏💞
