Welcome to the Blog

While I love the writing I do for others, this blog is a place I write for only myself, telling the stories and sharing the thoughts and experiences that I feel called to share.

A Couch and A Fork

Cindy Giovagnoli February 20, 2019

I was eighteen years old and sleeping on the couch of the dingy apartment I shared with Naomi, John, and Brad. 

I didn’t have a bedroom of my own, so my nights were often disrupted by the comings and going of my roommates. Naomi’s late hours arriving home from her job at The Wild Zebra “Gentlemen’s Club” that our apartment shared a parking lot with. John’s drunken rages at Naomi, fueled by convenience store malt liquor, jealousy, and impotence.

After doing some quick cosmetic updates on the bedrooms, our first big project is a bathroom gut job.

How To Be Like A Stalagmite

Cindy Giovagnoli January 23, 2019

I’ve spent a lot of time over the last two weeks painting walls and ceilings and trim as we’ve begun the renovations at my Dad’s house and have been carving out a bit of quiet space to sleep and work amidst the piles of tools and materials and soon-to-be-torn-down walls….

I wrote a bit earlier this week about how a fork knocked me off of a terrifying couch and created the first bridge toward the life I lead now. It's definitely not a "pulled myself up by my bootstraps" kind of story, but it does share the single life lesson that changed everything for me. Swing by and leave me a comment and tell me about the moments that changed something big for you- I want to know! (Link to the blog post in my bio, of course!) #staycuriousfriends ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
