About Me
Cynthia I grew up in a small town located in the south eastern part of Ohio. Some of the fun things I did while growing up consisted of sleigh riding in the winter, bike riding and swimming in the creek during the summer, and bailing hay at fair time for some extra spending money. I was also in 4H all of my school years from the age of 9. From fifth grade until senior graduation, I played drums in the band, and carried a tri set during football season in high school.

In 1987, I met, became engaged to, and married my husband. Two months after our wedding, we were pregnant with our daughter Ashley Nichole. All these years I have been a dedicated wife and mother. There are many precious memories that will be with me until the end of my days. My husband made a career of the USN and we moved on an average of every two years. He is out of the military now and we live in our country home where we spend our time working on the house and gardening. Our daughter has followed in her Dad's footsteps and is currently active duty in the United States Navy.

I also author Giving Words where I promote literacy with personal poetry, writing challenges, articles, and literacy tips. My hobbies off line include sketching, doing graphics in paint shop, reading books, listening to music, watching movies, and sometimes a craft project. My obsessions are my family, my pets, and raising awareness for literacy, the environment, poverty, disease and the homeless.

FamilyPhoto to the right is my family (Brett, Cindy and Ashley 2005) acting foolish in front of the web cam. I remember this day well. Ashley was still at home, a senior in high school, and we were all living in Tacoma, Washington on the Air Force Base. We had a beautiful view of Mt. Raineer.
