My vision is to tell of my gratitude to God and how God is alive today, just as He has been in the past and will be in the future. How God has helped everyone at different points in their life and to be aware of the truth about ourselves, with love and gratitude to God. I welcome you as, Beloved Brothers and Sisters of Jesus. I organize and facilitate one-day retreats. I offer two options. One is called Dancing with God, where we do simple movements to various songs as prayers. We also do meditative prayers, and sharing of our faith. I can adapt this retreat to any season. The second option is Joyful Surrender. In this retreat we focus on 3 stages of growing in faith. We try and look at ourselves truthfully, but with love, and how it can lead to a deeper faith. These are currently one-day retreats, but can easily be expanded to two days.

I have worked with people with severe disabilities for over 30 years. They have taught me much about God and the important things of life. I have a degree in Human Services, and I am certified by the State as an Activity Director. I have been fortunate enough to host a cable television show and have been interviewed on television twice. I will be in a documentary on mental health that will be coming out soon. I have developed (with the help of my spiritual advisor) a way to live a vowed life, which has been blessed by the Catholic Church. Most importantly, I have a joy that cannot be repressed. I seem to have this strong desire to share the joy of God, through many avenues. They include writing, singing, dancing, retreats, and being a lector at Church. Thank you so much for letting me share my journey with you. I am humbled by your support. Thanks be to God!

Joyful Surrender by Cindy Tuttle

I wrote this book with the desire to share my love of God, and to provide some support for others who have the same desire. This book attempts to provide a new and creative way to live a vowed life. This path was helped by prayer, my spiritual director and a doctor in psychiatry. Most importantly, by the people with disabilities I have met along the way. I struggled with the idea of writing a book about myself, wondering if that was self-promotion or ego. I came to realize that my motivation was to tell how wonderful God is and what God has done for me. In the book I mention how I realized I was a beloved daughter of God. I also realized everyone is a beloved son or daughter of God, so I offer this book humbly and with much respect for every reader.
