Welcome!

Thanks so much for popping by for a visit! My name is Cindy and in a nutshell- this is my story:

I was born and raised in (what was then) West Germany and moved to the US with my family when I was 16. I met my husband shortly thereafter while he was a midshipman at the Naval Academy. We married after graduation and for the next 35 years both the Navy and then business had us moving and living all over the United States. We are now finally settled in sunny Florida in a little yellow house with a cozy front porch getting ready to celebrate our 37th anniversary this year.

We have 4 wonderful, grown kids, a fantastic daughter and son-in-law and two awesome boyfriends..(not me, my girls do.😉)

Everyone lives too far away for us to actively butt into their business so we decided to get a dog a few years ago and control her furry, little life instead..so it’s just the three of us Musketeers down here ‘livin’ the dream’ as they say.

Anyway, I hope this site is a comfortable corner in a crazy world; a place where you can quiet your soul, nourish your heart, maybe LOL and hopefully find a “thought nugget” that resonates with, and lifts, your spirit. My goal at this point in my life is to be a force for good in a world that unfortunately seems to be addicted to chaos and strife.

I posted Philippians 4:8 at the top of this site not just because it’s a lovely verse, but as a mission statement reminding me to strive to align my posts with the overriding principle that what spills forth onto those we meet is what we have inside.

So make yourself at home, meander around (maybe grab a recipe for dinner tonight?)..and don’t be shy! Share what’s on your mind or just say “hi” in the comment section found under each post..I’d love to hear from you!

💜, Cindy
