Our Women of Saint Michael 2025–26 Speaker Series kicked off with a wonderful September Luncheon, “Shining Your Light Through Self,” featuring Cynthia Yanof, author of Life is Messy, God is Good.

Cynthia brought laughter, honesty, and encouragement as she reminded us that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. With her signature humor and authenticity, she inspired us to give ourselves permission to redefine success, reprioritize our days, and do the things that don’t always make sense—but lead us closer to God’s purpose.

It was a joy to gather in a full room of women to launch our year together! We are grateful for Cynthia’s wisdom and for all who joined us.

Be sure to mark your calendars for our next luncheon, “Shining Light Through Art,” with glass artist Carlyn Ray on October 22.
