NEVER LOOK BACK!
(Ain't nothing back there worth havin')

Choose to  do--or not to do...and don't complain about "I wish I should have" when you have the opportunity to do the right thing-

...and....

Always be about the truth even if you end up standing alone in the physical. In the spiritual
YHWH (God) & U make the majority.

Cynth'ya's Legacy from her Grandmama, Ruby Ruth May
My Grandmama Ruby Ruth May (Sept 25, 1913-Nov. 18, 2009) and her spoken words mean so much to me as an author, speaker and promoter, especially in times like these in our world

Never think yourself better than anybody else, but always think of yourself as just as good. (Some things one never forgets but to see God in peace, we must ALWAYS forgive!) 

Cynth'ya's Lesson on Defeat. . .

"Don't be a pluck'd chicken, if you fall down get up on your drumsticks and keep on movin'!"

Cynth'ya's Lesson on Forgiveness ...
If people with a purpose are unwilling to forgive themselves for their own stumblings, but continue to point out the stumblings of others, then it's time to pack up the goodie bag and go home!

 Cynth'ya most enjoyable speaking engagements:
 

Muncie IN Kennedy Library.
Spring 2008-See Events for details. ("Where There's Smoke"--a one-woman poetic story analogy of Cynth'ya's original work and how it applies to our relationships.)

FAV FUN EVENT 3:
Aug. 24-26, 2007: Women Entrepreneurs Convention and Gala, Downtown Indianapolis, IN. Hilton Garden Inn and Conrad Hilton Hotel
Topic: How to Handle the Hell (Obstacles) that keep you from your goals. Based on the real estate analogy of "Location, Location, Location" in a wholistic spiritual, intellectual and physical sense for aggressive business women.

Other topic examples:
Faithless Erroneous Assaults on  Realism: Does your fear come from negative influences and assumptions lie to the inner champion screaming to be revealed? Do you fear that you will be ostracized by the chickens in the coop if you choose to be one of God's Eagle Scouts?

3. Don't Let The Bark of Failure Make You Bite Yourself. (Does your past bug you to the point that you feel the bite before you hear the pitbull of failure charging?)

4. Friend Don't Let Friends Fake It. (All about the importance of being honest.)

5. Two-Hour Workshop: "What are you full of?" What is in you is what you become, whether you want it or not.

Finally, Cynth'ya encourages you to be more than an information robot fulfilling others dreams instead of your own"

"We were not born to just work. . . We were born to create an impact in the lives of those we meet as a result of the work we are commission'd by God to do. This is the purpose of the fullest life. (clr) [Scroll down for personal info about cynth'ya lewis reed]

Do you truly want independence? If the answer is "yes"  it's going to cost you. Most people will call you nuts. Most people want things handled FOR them not  BY them and this is the very reason that MOST people will never have true independence.

 If you have glory-guts, the heart, & the humility to shush up, listen and learn,  & you can manage to keep your attitude semi-clear & focused along with the heart of your purpose, you no doubt WILL go the distance. And when you arrive at that special place called "Independence" the rewards will be most precious, rare & worth giving your all to achieve.
