When I released my first album, Don’t Rain on my Parade, 5 years ago, I co-wrote a song with Stephen Didunyk called Butterfly based on my own story of overcoming life threatening illness and going on to live my dreams to sing.
Since then the video for the song has inspired so many people that over a 1/4 of million people have watched it on you tube.
Watch, be inspired and enjoy… and be sure to download the song as my gift to you (scroll down below video)
Download the song for free by filing out the form.
If you also tell me your favorite Broadway/Musical Theater piece, I may just sing it for you! On a regular basis, I pick the requests out of hat, do some shout outs with snippets of the song request.

Now what I mean by AUTHENTIC success is NOT fame, fortune and big cars. It is what comes from deep within you. Tapping into your truth of your essence and allowing yourself to express it in the world.

I was watching the Golden Globes on Sunday night and when Glee won, I said to myself “Why the heck are you WATCHING others living your dream, instead of DOING it?” And in all fairness to myself, I am well on my way to achieving that level and take consistent, focused action everyday. But it really struck me that so many of us (including me for years), have dreams and goals but sit by and watch others do what we want to be doing instead of taking action. I know for me, there was always an excuse. And yes my health challenges were definitely real for a long time but there were many years after that where the excuse was always about “well, I need to do this or that. Just too busy” or “I need more training, money, connections…” or “I need to be prettier, skinnier…”
Okay people… let’s get honest…what are your excuses?
If you have a dream in your soul, that desire was given to you by a divine source (whatever you define that to be) and therefore can NOT be wrong. All that you need to create it will appear if you are willing to take action, allow yourself to recieve, work on releasing your baggage and be open to all the glorious ways it may come to you.
And remember… we are here to serve. The more you live your dreams, the happier you are, the more that energy radiates to others and empowers them to follow their bliss. Not to mention, I bet you that your dream will make an impact in another’s life. So I want to encourage you today to take action .. no matter what is on your schedule.
Here is a little something I wrote on my Facebook yesterday:
Take a moment, think of your desire and ask yourself, “What is the most powerful thing I can do today to take 1 step closer to my goal?” And then do it… No matter what else is on your plate. Otherwise you will always be waiting for tomorrow.
Now go kick some butt! You can do it.

I wanted to pass along a simple but important message as you embark into the New Year. Most of us reflect on the stuff in our life from the previous year that didn’t work and then decide to make a change. This decision is great BUT the trap I often see is people then behaving out fear – pushing, rushing, doing things they THINK will work, seeking out a quick fix, etc.
There is only one thing you need to succeed in the New Year – YOU! What I mean by that is by you just BEING your true essence.
To give you an example to clarify: I have known since I was born that I am meant to perform but spent most of my life doing everything other than that. So for example, I would teach to make money to support my singing as opposed to just singing and trusting that opportunities would fly my way and that I would be paid abundantly for it. I never thought that just being ME was enough.
What is your truest, most divine essence? If you were to just sit and breathe slowly into your body and be very present, what would the still, small voice say? What is the talent or gift lying inside you that is itching to emerge? Are you doing what I used to do and spending your time doing everything but what you are best at so you can live your dream? Are the goals you’ve set for this year because you are trying to prove something to someone or because your divine essence is ready to express on a greater level?
This New Year, I really want you to know that YOU are enough. Yes just YOU! You are amazing my friend. You don’t need to be anything other than you. You don’t need to push or try. You simply need to BE and allow yourself to shine. I know it can be scary sometimes but the more you allow yourself to shine from the inside, the more it will radiate to the outside and the blessings will appear.
Know you are loved.
Love Cindy
