Hello and welcome! My name is Cindy... I’m the Spinster. I’m many things to many people but I’m not a wife. Which has only made me strong and independent. I’ve learned to be able, brave, and in charge. The two widows are my mother and my sister. I watch over them both.

As older women, we have vantage points that one can only reach through time and individual life experiences. They’re unique and sacred.

We have many parts and pieces of our being; so my blog expresses many parts and pieces. My purpose is to share my articles and essays together with my photos; the photo on this page is one I captured one moonlit night…

Our very old barn that stands alone and stately against the woods behind our house.

Being a free older woman doesn’t mean a lack of love and connection. It means the chance to cultivate other kinds of relationships with friends, family, and ourselves.

It’s the liberty to delve into personal passions, our health and wellbeing, and self-discovery. The freedom to pursue our dreams and focus on what makes us feel happy and fulfilled. To relax with ourselves. And above all, to be fearlessly who we are.
