Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
Updated for 2018 I just love Canada Day! Maybe it’s because my very first Canada Day was Canada’s 100th birthday and was spent at Expo ‘67. I tell you – that was one thrilling experience! Of course, I’ve loved every Canada Day since then too. I feel privileged to be able to call Canada […]
Happy Canada Day! Can you believe we are celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday this year? I still remember the celebrations for our centennial. (Yes, I’m that old!) We were living in Montreal and had a revolving door of house guests coming to take in Expo ’67. This year the family is getting together for a smaller […]
Can you believe that on July 1st we celebrated Canada’s 149th birthday? I’m old enough to remember when it was the big centennial celebration. We had just moved to Canada and were living in Montreal so our home was filled with visitors most of the year, coming to Expo ‘67 and celebrating Canada’s 100th. And […]

Inspired by one of my favorite blogs Brocante Home (who was in turn inspired by a feature in Harper’s Bazaar written by Diana Vreeland), Why Don’t You is a new weekly feature here on Creative Cynchronicity. It’s a bit of an extension of Cyn’s Month with a week’s worth of suggestions for adding a little […]
I tried this concept out for a little while last year but it seemed like no one was reading Cyn’s Month. It still lived on but in the archives, hidden away. Well, in reviewing my stats and reading some emails, it seems that Cyn’s Month was actually a favorite feature for some of you. So, […]
This is my first full week back to work after the holidays. I did actually do some work during the break but I kept it to the bare minimum and really allowed myself some down time. It. Was. Glorious! Don’t get me wrong. I love my job. I love the writing and the creativity and […]
Is anyone else having some crazy (as in not seasonal at all) weather these days? It has been warmer than usual around here and we’ve barely had any snow (pretty much just a dusting here and there). In fact, we’ve had severael rainy days in the past month. Still, I feel like a big winter […]
