My opinion on life

  • The Truth about Lies

    K. Cindee Doll

    I know many people who claim that the truth is the most important thing to them… I, myself, have been known to say this… are just fooling themselves. When one really thinks about it though… Everybody lies.From the first time your parents asked you what you were up to and you said “nuting” you’ve been…

  • You don’t know what you don’t know until you know what you didn’t know.

    K. Cindee Doll

    Learning on the job and hoping it doesn’t cost you too much. I have found out recently that some of the things that I was told while I was going through the publishing process wasn’t the best information. Not for someone who wants to make a living at being an author anyway. I never thought…

  • “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

    K. Cindee Doll

    Albert Einstein What a wonderful saying… especially for us writers. And from a scientist! I think we forget that it takes as much imagination as logic to discover the important discoveries. When the apple fell from the tree… logic said it was there and now it’s here. Imagination made it possible to think that there…

  • What’s a moment when a stranger completely restored your faith in people?

    K. Cindee Doll

    There are too many moments for me to think of just one. This may be because I look for them when I am out and about. The person who holds the door open for the next person. The one who is watching for those who are on their phones and not paying attention. The person…

  • Trust is a fickle thing

    K. Cindee Doll

    I wrote a speech on trust way back in my teens and it was really good. One of those things where you remember the essence of the thing but not the totality. This speech was like that. I remember how impactful and truthful it was. How it hit the audience. How many people talked to…

  • Only remember the worst…

    K. Cindee Doll

    Many of my lives dealt with people, the general public. I worked in restaurants, hotels, sales of many types, human resources, receptionist… My point is that I have been in many different kinds of jobs where I took care of people. I liked to say that I was Of Service though, rather than in the…

  • Which outdated technology do you miss the most, and why?

    K. Cindee Doll

    The Telephone What?!!?? You say. The Telephone!!!???! We still have phones! You say. Cindee, You’re Daft! You say. Am I, though? Think about it. We have phones, or cell phone. We don’t have telephones anymore. I am talking about that thing that was attached to the house. That had a cord, that ran through the…

  • “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing”

    K. Cindee Doll

    Socrates I took philosophy in Post Secondary the 2nd time around. Not that I hadn’t heard of Socrates before that, I just acquired more respect for the man. What I loved about what he did was admit he knew nothing. It is said that he went on a search for the wisest ‘man’ in the…

  • My Truth as an Author

    K. Cindee Doll

    For anyone paying attention, I have been writing something about my book or my author’s journey on Sundays for the past while. I have been reading so much about how to become a successful author. How to promote, what to say, what I ‘should’ be doing… One of the things that so many say, and…

  • What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught?

    K. Cindee Doll

    This one got my head turning… I immediately came up with so many things; integrity, respect, accountability, self restraint, empathy… the list goes on. Then I realized that none of these things are the responsibility of the teachers or schools. These are the things that parents and/or villages ought to be teaching our children. I…
