You are taking my breath away Cynthia,
All I can say is that you are taking my breath away. In the last few months I read your transformation from a loving mother without a purpose, to an amazing woman full of love, life and purpose. Who could have predicted that a simple trip abroad would get the best out of you? It's amazing!
Dear Cynthia,
It's good to have you coming back home. I see that you've had a grand adventure. Good! When you get back to the states, call me.
Miss you as always,
Luv,
Steven
Whoooeeee This is powerful stuff, Cynthia. I feel like I'm having a religious experience through you. Your writing continues to be so compelling. When I realized that I had missed some of your blogs, I read (and reread) them all. Experiences like these have been lost by so many of us. Thanks for bringing them back.
Still fascinating Cynthia,
I continue to be swept away by your blog. It's incredibly personal, graphic, emotional.
You also came up with a great title idea for your book -- "You Can’t Buy Clouds at Costco."
See you on 8/7.
John

Oh Dear Cynthia Welcome to the Leapers' Club!
You don't know how happy your postings make me!
For years I have been inviting some of my friends to take time off and travel in a "simple" country, like Guatemala. I've been trying to explain how "life changing" these experiences can be. Very few have accepted my advice. It is so much more easy to accept the status quo than to move forward!
Until you have experienced it for yourself, you can't understand how the exposure to the charms of ordinary people will transform anyone into a better human being.
As you know, like you, my transformation took place when I was in Antigua. Now, to see you experiencing the same kinds of emotions and natural awes, is very fulfilling for me.
I am sooooo happy that you took this BIG step into the unknown. Ron and I both knew that the unknown was far less scary and dangerous than the media would like us to believe. And we both knew that with your candid personality you would fit right in anywhere you went. We didn't doubt it for a moment.
But seeing you muster the courage to move beyond your own restrains and to see the person that you are becoming, I really consider myself a fortunate witness.
I feel like I'm seeing a butterfly come out of it's cocoon. Not that you were not an amazing person already, but now you will never allow your self-doubt to lead your life. Because you have surmounted your fears and made the leap of faith once, now you can make it anytime you want. Once you have made the leap, you can never go back...and you don't want to go back!
I can't wait to hear your accounts of all you beautiful Guatemalan experiences.
Have fun in Peten!

Cynthia,
I have so enjoyed your tales of Guatemala and as the weeks pass I look forward to reading your next entry. You’re very eloquent in your speak of the Latin culture and in reading your daily experience through your eyes, I come out experiencing a bit of the same. It brings me back to a time not long ago where I too was profoundly touched at the heart. I think I’ve mentioned to you of my four year stay in Mexico City. During my stay I learned so much about life, love and God. I was forever changed. I miss you. Let’s get together upon your return. Thanks again for heightening my visual experience. Love, Kerry
Gracias I am so glad we can keep up through the blog. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I love keeping in touch with my friends back home. Let's chat when I get back.
Gracias Thanks Susan,
It is wonderful to be able to share this great place. I appreciate knowing that others are enjoying it with me. Thanks for the nice comments.

Thank you Hi Cynthia,
Thanks for taking the time to write and let us know what you are experiencing. I have enjoyed reading your blogs. It sounds like a wonderful, eye-opening experience and I'm so glad you are getting involved in as much of the local culture as you can. Continue to have a good time and give me a call when you get back.

Living in the present...that's fun What a wonderful time you are having in Antigua. You are GLOWING in all the pictures. I love reading your blog; thanks for sharing your experience. It’s obvious that you are enjoying every second of at the fullest there.
Thanks Maritza,
It truly is a spiritual journey. I will need lots of help with my spanish when I get home. I would love to have lunch or dinner with you and share my experiences in spanish! Thanks for writing. I do love to hear from home!
Gracias Yo hablar muy mal espanol, por que, yo estudio mucho.
Hi John, I am having a grand time and I understand a lot. But my grammar and my pronounciation need help. So glad to hear from yo and to keep in touch!
Hola! Hola Cynthia, su blog de viajes sigue siendo totalmente fascinante. Realmente me da un sentido de lo que es como la experiencia. No puede esperar para el próximo pago.
Worry no more.... Cynthia, I am really happy for you and how you are choosing to experience life in Antigua. This is much more than learning Spanish, this is an spiritual growth. I love reading your blog; your vivid and descriptive writing takes me there in my mind. You are a brave soul, despite the worries you mentioned, not many people take the chances you are taking now. You are living life with eyes, arms and heart wide open. You go girl !!!
