Cynthia Herron Snippets of Life Leave a Comment

Friday already? I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is past and Christmas prep is well under way at our house. We’ve put up our Christmas tree and decked some of the halls, but I still have more decorating to do. (Stop by next Wednesday and I’ll post a few labor of love photos. Always fun stuff going on over our way!) …

The Value of Community

Cynthia Herron Thankfulness Leave a Comment

Recently, I met with a friend for brunch and catch-up. Over danishes and drinks (no—not those kind of drinks), we talked about momlife, busy seasons, and oh, yes—writing. Writing—the thing that causes our hearts to drum a little faster. The thing that rocks our comfort zones. The thing that drives us to dream bigger, try harder, and work smarter as …

Happy, Blessed Thanksgiving to You and Yours

Cynthia Herron Thankfulness Leave a Comment

Happy, Blessed Thanksgiving, my friend! I pray this finds you well and in a mindset of thankfulness. I’m beyond grateful for so many blessings—more than I can count and far more than I deserve. Over our way we’re knee-deep in Thanksgiving prep mode. Turkey’s thawing, menu’s planned, and my party apron’s at the ready. (And of course, coffee’s brewing!) On …

I know. But don’t let the blog title fool you. Today’s thoughts are all about the love. And who can’t use more of that? Great! Let’s go! (((HUG))) When I was a little girl I loved creating.

Romance… My Top Five Blog Posts

Cynthia Herron Romance Leave a Comment

Today I thought it might be fun to dial up the “feel good.” If you’ve visited before, you know I’m a huge romantic. I’m a hearts and flowers kind of gal who melts at a sweet sentiment, tender gesture, or—be still, my heart—a great love story. (And who, in his right mind, can argue with that?) Since I write Heartfelt …

November… The Month to Give Thanks

Cynthia Herron Thankfulness Leave a Comment

Last weekend, October shuffled out the door and November sauntered in. Without much fanfare, the new month made her quiet début despite my silent protests. Oh, my. Holiday prep, already? I can’t believe how quickly fall’s fading away. Each passing week draws us closer to the bone-chilling cold of winter. Despite this, I’m thankful for now. For the sunshine and …
