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 …

Let’s Talk Valentines!

Cynthia Herron Favorite Things 2 Comments

Ahhh. Valentine’s Day. One of my favorite holidays! Just mention the word valentine and I go all mushy inside. Of course I would. (There’s a reason I live, breathe, and write romance. I’m a romantic! A huge one.) And I’m always on a mission. Remember that little pocket notebook I carry? Often, when I’m out and about and I see …

Love and Encouragement: The Heartbeat of This Blog

Cynthia Herron Blogging 4 Comments

If you’ve visited my cyber home for very long, you know many of my posts center around love and encouragement. Why? Well—I’m glad you asked. Love and encouragement are near and dear to my heart for a couple reasons. We live with enough negativity in this old world. Folks are starved for joy.   I’ve experienced adversity. Perhaps, you have, too. That’s why you need some good, old-fashioned …

Top 10 Traits Joy-Bearers Have in Common

Cynthia Herron Joy 6 Comments

Happy Friday! As another busy week draws to a close, I wanted to revisit a favorite topic–JOY! It’s a subject that’s near and dear to my heart because joy is something I think we’re sorely lacking in day-to-day life.* No, we’re not always going to feel at the top of our game. There will be days of indecision and times …

It’s finally here–> Happy Valentine’s Day! Here’s wishing you and yours a heartfelt greeting. I pray your day is filled with oodles of love and warmth and that you’re surrounded by those who are truly special in your life.

A Day to Try on Kindness

Cynthia Herron Snippets of Life 6 Comments

It’s a shame that Valentine’s Day can’t be every day. Indeed, the world would be better for it. I don’t mean hearts, flowers, and fattening chocolate (though who could argue with that?) I’m thinking more about our attitudes–the countenance of our spirits. The way we treat others. Our actions, words, and endearments. What if our souls radiated the same giddiness year ’round as what …

Ladies, Is Your Love Language a Fishing Pole?

Cynthia Herron Romance 8 Comments

If only the gentleman at the sporting good store knew he’d be the subject of a blog post, I wonder if the anniversary gift for his wife might have been different. I bet not. Here’s why: he had the look. Ladies, you know the one I’m talking about. The one that says (quite unabashedly) It’s all about me. And, lest I …

The Goosebumps and Godiva Factor

Cynthia Herron Romance 10 Comments

I think all little girls grow up with preconceived notions of what romance should be. We form those beliefs based on how we see our mothers and fathers interact, television and movies (skewed as they may be), and the world around us. Since I grew up in a very affectionate household, it wasn’t unusual to see my mama and daddy openly …

…But the Greatest of These is Love

Cynthia Herron Writing faith-based romance 3 Comments

Like many couples, when my husband and I were married  we chose to include a portion of 1st Corinthians in our wedding vows: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. …
