Author, Songwriter, and Recording Artist

 

Welcome to Cindy O’Neil.com

I call this my internet galaxy because of the array of projects that I’ll be sharing with you here. Sometimes I feel that I’m jumping between planets when I move from writing to graphic art/photography to singing/recording. Though a few of my projects have their own website, this is the one place that you’ll find info on or links to all of my works.

Please make yourself comfortable and take a cruise through; listen to my music, read some of my writings and drop me a note if you have a question.

New articles are posted on my Writing page. There you can also read more about my e-book. You can sample and purchase Before The Mist in multiple formats from Smashwords.

 

Take a listen to the April edition of my podcast Vocal Vibes. This month it’s all about stuck places.

 

The first edition of my Vocal Vibes Podcast has a video too…

 

Creative Kidding

For two years running my family and I have participated in a Send-A-Kid To Camp fundraiser by painting a Muskoka chair for auction.  It’s a fun and creative way to give to community. This year we called our chair “Kidz Creation” and I wrote this poem to explain the chair for the 2011 auction. There were so many wonderfully painted chairs – all of them unique in their own way.

We painted this creation
To help give a kid a vacation
A fun colourful chair
That could go almost anywhere

We adults did the arms and bits
For the back and where someone sits
The kids took the reins
With exterior paints and stains
Expressing their imagination
While working in cooperation

We love to do our part
By creating the interesting art
But You’ll be a champ photo credit: Cindy O'Neil
And send a kid to camp
When you buy our Kidz Creation chair
That could go almost anywhere

The Send-A-Kid To Camp program provides opportunities for disadvantaged children to enjoy pleasurable camping experiences. You can get more info at their website.

Team Icicle Hands raised over $2300 dollars

We did it! 21 members of Team Icicle Hands joined forces and raised over $2300 dollars for the 2011 Walk to Fight Arthritis.  All of the funds raised across the country will go toward leading-edge research and programs that support people living with arthritis.  Thank you to all of the people who sponsored members of Team Icicle Hands and to everyone on the team. Our photo is posted here.

We’re getting ready for the 2012 walk. It’s June 10th…take a look.
