Committed to creating and living a life of audacious adventure, I love to encourage and challenge others to do the same. Once captive to religion and fear, I teach others to embrace and enjoy the true freedom and abundant life Christ offers.

That's why I've created a community where single women can feel empowered to live their best life. And the reason I've maintained the Spunky Hope philosophy and brand for nearly ten years.

As a survivor of an ambush divorce, I wanted to figure out how to thrive in this life and to pursue all the things God planned for me. That's been the summary of these past eighteen years. I am a Single Woman filled with Spunky Hope and have created a hope-filled life of joy, purpose, and lots of coffee, and adventures. 

Follow along as I highlight the path God has led me on. I have a few thoughts on how to make your journey lighter, sweeter, and so much fun your cheeks will hurt from smiling!

For now, just know:

You can learn to hope again. 

You can create a life you love living.

You can overcome loneliness.

You can conquer the relentless details of daily life, like food, finances, home maintenance, and more.

You can discover your dreams and create a workable plan to chase them.

All of this really is possible.

Let's learn and grow together, so that we will make every day our very best day yet!

A few remarkable details:

Cynthia is an entertaining speaker, a Certified Christian Life Coach, a trained Chaplain, has hosted many women’s spiritual retreats, and published three books in her Spunkify Series. Her writings have also appeared in several anthologies, including three Chicken Soup for the Soul titles.

She earned her BA Degree in Communications from Ohio University and her MA Degree in Educational Leadership from Antioch-Midwest University. 

Cynthia lives near a Florida beach with her shiny blue pitcher (She'd love you to ask about it.), about a dozen unfinished manuscripts, and her wide-eyed and completely untamed curiosity.  She ignites her super-powers with lots of coffee, sneaks away often on all sorts of adventures, and takes lots of notes along the way.
