Excellent book! I couldn’t put it down, read it in one sitting and am reading it again… Advice we can follow, no Martha Stewart answers- practical solutions for real people. Honestly, it is the best book I’ve read on the subject. READER, Portland, OR

Cyndy, So glad I came across your blog.
My sister is Chrys Howard and she has told me about you -
and how gifted you are. Now I can see for myself reading through these pages. Amazing, Woman!
Thanks for the laughter!
No, I really mean it. As a marriage therapist by day and an aspiring writer by night, having a “ha!ha!” moment is better than chocolate. THAT is therapy for me.
I enjoyed reading your pages about your kiddos too. How rich we are when our quivers are full from God’s best blessings.
Blessings on your continuing work. No higher calling than being a woman who loves her home and family,
You’re fantastic!

Cyndy,
Perhaps you remember Jenny Tolly who was in your P.E.O. chapter from around 1991 to 1997. She is my daughter and now resides in Lincoln, as do I. I don’t know if my other emails got through to you, so decided to try this route. If you could email back at your earliest convenience, or send your phone number, I’d love to get in touch with you for a brief conversation. I know how busy you are.
Thanks so much, Cyndy.
Blessings,
Mary Elizabeth Anderson
