And if that weren't enough, she's also doing a little work at CraftFail. This, in addition to teaching very lucky elementary kids Spanish. No fear, she's still doing all the other stuff that she's been doing all along. How she does it, I just don't know. I get tired just trying to keep up with all of her awesomeness. She just gets more and more peppergasm.
Over the past year, I have had the honor and the privileged to meet a number of talented and genuinely wonderful people at an online writing site called HubPages. (Should you care to join the ever growing world of online writers, check out HubPages.)
Recently, a number of these exceptional scribes have expanded their endeavors and began down a path to blogging (or re-discovered it). I would like to introduce some of my friends and hope that you give them a look. You just might like what you see:
Cyndi
On HubPages, she goes by the name CClitgirl. A little about one of my favorite writers:
"Some people call me"CC", some people call me "Cyndi", and others tack on "Cyndi-Lou-Who". I am a full-time freelance writer, photographer, and a graduate of the HubPages Apprenticeship Program. I definitely love words - writing and reading. That’s why I’m here on HubPages and it’s where I got my username: CC-lit(terature)-girl.
After finding HubPages, I started writing about all of my interests - and there are a lot of them: Anthropology, Languages, Culture, Photography, Spanish, Fine Art, Being Green, Being Frugal, Homesteading, and more.
Edgar Allan Poe
“I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.”
Joan Jett"
Please check out her blog, Pictimilitude.
Why I like Cyndi: She is effervescent. I have never known her to say anything discouraging or negative to anyone. She is always positive. If I'm having a royally shitty day, she can say something and suddenly the clouds part and the sun begins to shine again. She is simply 'awesomesauce.'
My favorite piece by CC: How To Be Happy Everyday.

DeleteTo quote Cyndi, "Awesomesauce!!" Seriously, I never tire of reading Cyndi's work or seeing her photography and agree she is one of the nicest, most positive people I have met through writing/blogging. Terrye, thank you for revisiting her here, because Cyndi is truly so worthy and deserving of this :)
ReplyDeleteI think you just completely validated why in the world I am doing this. Oh my god I'm crying happy tears over here. This is such a special gem to wake up to. I don't know if you sensed it, but I was having a tough day yesterday and well, your post here is like an injection of happy juice that is going to make 2013 be an epic year. You are such an incredible person and if you weren't a blogger, I'd say that you'd be the world's best life coach because you have a gift of inspiring people and infusing humor to make everything in life seem attainable. I don't know what I did to meet such an awesome person as you, but I sure count my lucky stars that you're in my corner. I will be in yours, too, as long as you don't mind that I hang photographs and paint it in every color of the rainbow. ;)
ReplyDeleteAw, this is precious--just like Cyndi! Peppergasm--now, that's a new one to me! It's been amazing watching Cyndi take off with her "effervescent" self over the past 6 months or so. She has come so far. What a gal! Good job on this, TT!
ReplyDeleteCyndi is such a positive person and she really knows how to add a little bit of happy into everything she does. I don't think I have ever heard one thing negative come out of her mouth. What a great spotlight... She is Peppergasmic and full on Awesomesauce!
ReplyDeleteFantastic piece on Cyndi and I agree her photography need to go viral soon because she's got that much talent. And yes, we need more positive people like her in our world -- Go Cyndi!
ReplyDeleteEfferervescent- that is one of the nicest compliment you can give someone- cheers to Cyndi!
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have picked a nicer blogger to feature! :) Cyndi is awesome and I loved reading more about her. I hope people flock to her blog to appreciate her talent!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Cyndi really is 'awesomesauce'! Great tribute post to a fantastic person with a heart of gold. It's not often you come across people like this in life. She truly deserves everything that is coming her way. Thanks for sharing this Terrye! I am loving the direction your blog is taking, it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Cyndi is awesome sauce, and a fantastic person and writer. And like you, she has been a great blogger/writer friend with a mound of talent!! Thanks for sharing about her, TT!
ReplyDeleteHeya, Melanie! I could write a book about all the things I adore/love about CC. :) I agree...she is a rare and wonderful find! :) And thank you so much. Like all blogs, it's a work in progress. :) Will be by yours shortly! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Audrey. I love CC, she makes everything around her more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, Amy, she is a remarkable talent and deserves the recognition. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephanie, I tried to capture all the joy, beauty, peace, helpfulness, and awesomesauce that is CC into one word. It was the closest I could get.
ReplyDeleteEmily, I think you and I are wearing matching cheerleading outfits. :)
ReplyDeleteHeya, V! It really is a lot of fun and so encouraging to watch CC take an idea, run with it, and turn it into something fabulous!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, Gina! And for her to want to just let anyone use her photos...amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteCC, I had no idea you had a rough day previously, but I am happy to have been able to start you day off on a positive note, like you do for me oh so often! I can't tell you how many times you have said something or posted one of your fantastic photos and made me smile. Completely obliterating my blah mood.
ReplyDeleteWe have each others backs, and I am very grateful for whatever force lined up the stars so that our paths would meet. We have such a wonderful group of friends. Sometimes I wonder how I got so damn lucky. :) Thank you for being who you are. <3
Janine, I have to agree. She is such an inspiration to me and so many others. Her fearlessness to chase her dreams and her determination to achieve them are what makes for an epic role model. I learn something new from her every day. We are lucky to have her.
