Cynthia Fleming

My name is Cynthia and I am the creator and writer behind “cindy-jo”. I am a newbie blogger and passionate freelance designer / creative entrepreneur with a desire to influence others. I currently reside in a small condo in Chicago, IL with my husband and beautiful puppy/child.

The name “cindy-jo” originated from a nickname I received in high school by my track coach Steve Luke. Track and field has been a major part of my life as it has taught me to challenge myself and to continue on even when things get tough. I love running, the training, the races, the time to myself and the people it has brought into my life. (I met my husband on the track.)

In college I ran for Iowa State University, until the summer of 2006 when I was diagnosed with lupus. My whole world changed.

I created this space to share my journey to becoming lupus free, as well as document some cool things that I learn along the way about natural health and healing, fitness, beauty, and delicious whole-foods.
