Greetings! I’m Cyndi Mathis and I thank you for visiting my online space.
I’m a 50ish (a lady never tells her age) Georgia-native who is passionate about using my voice to tell the stories of the hundreds of men, women, and children who would otherwise not be heard. Besides being a published author, I’m also a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a friend, and, unfortunately, a widow who has had to reshape my life after losing the man that I was married to for nearly 20 years.
Like so many women, my life revolved around my husband, and while I miss him dearly, I know that he would want me to continue to shine. I wrote and self-published my first novel, Missing Pieces, in 2010 and have finally decided to share it with the world as I continue to work on the sequel as well as other stories that I find pertinent in today’s society.
I grew in Milledgeville, Georgia and, with a turbulent relationship with my mother and a non-existent relationship with my father, I moved out at the age of 19 and never looked back. When I had my own daughter some years later, I knew that I wanted our relationship to be different. I made it my personal goal to be not only her mother, but also her best friend, and I am excited to say that I succeeded. What we share is unique and we co-host The Duo, a weekly podcast, in hopes to celebrate the generational differences between mothers and daughters and motivate others to cultivate this extra special bond.
I pride myself at being extremely organized and transparent as a mother, a writer, and a woman, in general, and I am excited to use these skills to help others. I believe that sharing my own personal struggles may strike a cord in someone else and lead them towards their own path to success. Whether it’s through sharing my words and creativity in my books, speaking to groups about my upbringing and perseverance, or helping mothers to create and maintain exceptional relationships with their offspring, I aim to instigate conversation and positive change.
Dreams are only possibilities that have not yet been brought to fruition. In my 50 plus years on this earth, the biggest lesson I’ve learned is to dream big and with no boundaries. If I can help you to dream bigger through my voice, I’ll know that I have lived a life worth living.
XoXo,
Cyndi
