My Daddy
Used To Say…
An inspirational guided journal built around a father's plain-spoken sayings — a keepsake for every woman navigating job loss, change, and new beginnings.
“He never had much, but he had a saying for everything — and somehow they were always exactly what I needed to hear.”
— Cynthia Lee Davis
The story behind the book
Cynthia grew up on her father's sayings — plain, honest, and often funny truths that carried her through hard seasons. After his passing, she gathered them into a guided journal for women standing at their own crossroads: a place to reflect, to grieve, and to begin again.
