Love In The Little Moments Of Connection, Cymplified!

by

When To Hold On? When he reaches out, brushes your fingertips using his and takes hold of your hand across the table... When you catch her gazing at you over the large steaming cup of coffee cradled in her hands while she's about to take a sip... When he looks up from something he's working on and you glance at him at the same time, both of your eyes meet, then you smile a little and he grimaces a bit... When she smiles really big and her eyes seem to sparkle as you hand her one of … [Read more...]

The Master and Her Piece: Martine of Make it Blissful, Cymplified!

by

Hello, February! It's the month of hearts and for the fourth The Master and Her Piece feature, I would like to put the spotlight on a woman overflowing with love and bliss. It’s an interview I do with women who inspire me and others to live and create better. I ask questions about their masterpieces or their works, their inspiration and ideas, their motivation, their challenges and their advice; to hopefully encourage my readers, too. When I think of the words intentional and blissful, … [Read more...]

The Golden Braid by Melanie Dickerson, Cymplified!

by

Guess which character the title refers to? :-D Confession: I still love fairytales! I still look forward to Disney releases of princess stories. I still like reading books about royalty. If I could get away with wearing long billowing dresses, I would! The Golden Braid... is a retelling of the story of Rapunzel.

And, they call them out forever. Then you wonder. What's the aim of your existence? Then you ponder. What's the purpose of your … [Read more...]

There Might Be No One Word, Cymplified!

by

You know what? There might be no one word for my 2016. Past Words Yep! But, before I explain why... Here's a brief "history" of my words for the past three years. In 2013, I started with the word Shine. I wanted to shine for Jesus. Then, I moved on to Freedom the year after that. I wanted to be free from clutter and negativity. Last year, my word became words and they were: Own less, create more. I did get to purge toys and baby paraphernalia, but last Christmas we received more … [Read more...]

Lunch Out: Torch Restaurant, Cymplified!

by

Torch Restaurant Is it kid-friendly?   One Sunday morning in December found me, my hubby and our youngest in Trinoma. We were in the Landmark department store buying long socks, yellow shoes and hair clips for the Christmas program attires. After walking, placing the purchases in the car and looking for a restaurant, we settled for Torch Restaurant because it seemed to provide a lot of food choices. The interior was made up of industrial elements infused with natural features. … [Read more...]
