Passion Projects
It’s important for all of us to connect with our why. I feel very strongly that everyone is creative in their own unique way. Expressing our creativity allows inspiration and perspiration to become part of our routine. Spending time focusing on and taking notice of what makes my heart sing not only helped me figure out what I should be doing but it also attracted more of what I love into my career. Ultimately I knew that I needed to be bold enough to make changes. For me that means spending time on passion projects—solely for the purpose of creating—in other words designing and creating for happiness. Which, it turns out, helps me do a better job for my customers. Below are a few passion projects that I’ve worked on for the sole purpose of creating and developing new skill sets. I hope you enjoy! – Cynthia

Each person on this planet has a life story that is unique. Your story has a powerful impact on your emotions, perceptions, idiosyncrasies, assumptions, vulnerabilities, and mindset. Your story goes a long way toward explaining your behaviors.
