About Cyndee

Hi! I'm Cyndee.

I'm 52, and I'm starting over.

Not because I've figured life out.

Actually, quite the opposite.

I spent most of my life working hard, chasing financial security, job titles, and all the things I thought were supposed to make me successful.

I believed if I worked hard enough and sacrificed enough, eventually I'd have the life I wanted.

Well, here I am at 52, and things didn't exactly go according to plan.

Somewhere along the way, I started asking myself a question:

What the hell am I working so hard for if I'm too busy and stressed to actually enjoy my life?

Maybe success isn't about the paycheck, the title, or how much stuff you own.

Maybe it's about freedom, happiness, experiences, and spending time with the people you love.

So after more than 30 years in New York, I packed up my life, left my career, and moved to Tennessee with my four-legged partner in crime, Remmie.

No perfect plan. No financial security blanket. And absolutely no idea how this is all going to turn out.

But I'm determined to find out!

So, What's This Project All About?

This is my little corner of the internet where I'm documenting what happens when you decide to start over after 50.

The good decisions, the bad decisions, the questionable decisions, and everything in between.

I'm exploring new places, building businesses, trying new things, meeting new people, and learning how to enjoy life without waiting for everything to be perfect.

And somewhere along the way, I've developed a few new hobbies and adventures worth sharing.

Cyndee Reads

For someone who barely picked up a book for years, I've suddenly become a reading addict.

Horror is my favorite, but I'm discovering that suspense, psychological thrillers, and stories about people making terrible decisions are right up my alley.

I share what I'm reading, my completely unprofessional opinions, and my very sophisticated wine-glass rating system. 🍷

Because why use stars when you can use wine glasses?

Cyndee Made Me Buy It

I've always loved finding products that make life a little easier, more comfortable, or just more fun.

So I created a page to share things I've personally tried, enjoyed, and think might be worth recommending.

Not everything needs to be expensive to be fabulous!

🐾 Remmie Made Me Buy It

And then there's Remmie.

My spoiled little Pomapug, adventure buddy, and apparently my newest business partner.

He has his own collection of favorite treats, toys, accessories, and other things he believes every dog deserves.

Unfortunately, he has absolutely no understanding of profit margins and tends to eat the merchandise.

We're working on that.

What's Next?

Your guess is as good as mine!

I'm building a new life, working toward financial independence, discovering new interests, and trying to figure out what happiness and success actually mean to me.

Will I make mistakes? Yes.

Will I occasionally question every decision I've made since birth? Definitely.

But I'm going to laugh, learn, explore, and try really hard to enjoy the hell out of this next chapter.

Because maybe the point isn't finally arriving at some perfect version of success.

Maybe the point is actually living while you're on the way.

Less stuff. Less bullshit. More life.
