Cinder Shine has made an art of living with joy, even while living with painful cancer.  And she’s been teaching folks how to enjoy life during times of pain for over 30 years.  The best thing is – she walks her talk.  Without bypassing or denying the tough parts, Cinder transmits an infectious (pun intended) radical joy that feels like a fierce rebellion against a culture that sometimes over-feeds our whining, hopelessness, and misery.  Her new second book, Terminally Smiling, just came out.   It’s a funny engaging memoir about living, healing, and singing through life’s hardest moments.  Cinder and I have been friends for fifteen years, and I can tell you she is a true living master of living in integrity, wisdom and joy.  I’m so happy to share her with you in this interview.
