Yesterday morning my hubby, dog Max, and I walked on the beach.  Very foggy, and no red tide!  Max loved it!  It’s been a long while since we did that.  Great start to a great day! Now off to write a blog post and solve my newsletter problem (I hope).

I’ve had technical difficulty with sending out my newsletter for the last two weeks.  I’ve been working with my web hosting customer support and hope to have the issue resolved soon. In the meantime, keep checking in on my website (cyndicarter.com), or my social media feeds.  I plan to have another post available soon. Thanks for understanding.

My latest book, available November 22! Perfect reading for the Christmas season. Pre-order your ebook now at https://www.amazon.com/…/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1.

It’s four weeks until Election Day so I thought this post might be a timely one.  Enjoy! ******************** People often have different opinions on certain issues.  Should bicycle and motorcycle riders be required to wear protective gear?  Should cursive writing still be taught, or is it unnecessary?  Then there are the “hot-button” issues, which I will not list here.  Because

I recently read the book “Hear & Beyond: Live Skillfully with Hearing Loss” by Shari Eberts and Gael Hannan, and found it enjoyable and helpful.  They emphasize that achieving effective communication is the goal, not necessarily perfect hearing.  Sharing their personal experiences, they offer tips and tricks, both technical and non-technical, that help to improve communication.  As someone

Sorry I’ve been out so long. Lots of stuff going on, including the last six weeks dealing with some major back/hip/leg issues. Still got a way to go to get back to normal. During the last few weeks down with my back I’ve listened to all manner of sad news reports. There’s war and rumor

Happy Thanksgiving to all!  Looking forward to the first Sunday in Advent this Sunday.  Time to rejoice! “Praise the Lord!  Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!”  Psalm 106:1​

Well, I actually DO have a good excuse for not writing the past few weeks.  My hubby and I have been taking a sign language class during the summer semester at the local community college.  We’re trying to learn sixteen weeks’ worth of material condensed into ten weeks.  Although we’re not trying to get out of the class

“This month’s character trait – compassion.”  Every morning I walk past a local elementary school whose electronic marquee displays, among other things, a character trait they’re emphasizing during that month.  One month it was self-control, one month it was kindness, one month it was honesty.  Sounds like a good idea. But when I saw compassion on the list,
