It’s almost time for a Mardi Gras Party in Fairfield. It’ll be loads of fun because I’ll be singing with The Magnolia Jazz Band again. Wish you could be invited, but as usual, it’s a private event. Maybe a public booking will pop up in February? Maybe it’ll show up for Valentines Day….I truly hope you have much love in your life, for yourself, and from others. While the “self-love thing” is always a work in progress, I have been blessed with a 37 year relationship with my loving partner Shelly. If you haven’t found romantic love yet, chin up! I didn’t suddenly grow amazing relationship skills. I just met the right person.

Holiday Hubbub
ByCynthiaLast night was nearly sleepless, with lists of things to do running through my head, along with startling realizations of things I’d forgotten about entirely (like writing this note to you around the beginning of the month). Sometimes the holidays feel like a fast moving train coming right at me! Fortunately, the rough night prompted…
Again?
ByCynthiaI’m bringing all my experience and it’s wisdom (or not) to another year. Like everyone else, my only limits are my own mistaken thoughts and beliefs. They are just a product of involuntary exposure to society’s flawed suggestions, along with my knee-jerk reactions to life’s challenges. Yes, I am innocent, and so are you. …
Answering The Artistic Lament
ByCynthiaCreativity needs room. What would this world be without music, art, literature, and live performance? The artistic soul needs time to itself to create.
