COUNSELOR’S CORNER A Word From Attorney Cynthia
Dear Clients,
Outside work, I engage in holistic fitness practices such as yoga, Tai chi, and meditation. By enhancing my physical, mental, and energetic health, I can better serve my clients and provide them with the utmost support they deserve. We all exist in this world, but so few of us live. I firmly believe in enjoying the journey and appreciating every moment, even during the tough times. Don’t feel discouraged about a “bad moment,” and believe everything happens for a reason. A quote I read recently is now incorporated into my daily thoughts: “20 years from now, you’d give anything to be this exact age, this healthy, and back in this exact moment. Take a second to enjoy it now.”
My name is Cynthia C. Romero, and I am an attorney at Monteforte Law. I’m sure most of you have already heard about me from our website, but I want to dive a little deeper into why I love what I do. As an attorney, my passion lies in helping people through difficult times. I witnessed a close friend’s unfortunate loss of her husband and helped get through the grief, which inspired me to help others grieving the loss of a loved one. Having the capability to take this difficult task off their hands while they mourn is a reward in and of itself. The responsibility of settling a loved one’s estate can be complex and overwhelming for anyone, which is why I’m committed to providing guidance and support every step of the way with each of my clients. The probate process may not be the most pressing matter on their minds because of their grief, but it needs to be completed in a timely manner. If I can positively impact someone’s life while doing something I love, then I know I’m doing something right in this world. Although death is inevitable, you can avoid the complexities of probate court by constructing a proper estate plan. I highly encourage my clients to take control of how they want their assets to be distributed instead of leaving it up to a judge to determine.

Let Your Creativity Flourish!
What makes a zine unique? Zines are quickly rising in popularity because they can be anything you want! If you want to highlight your artwork, showcase your writing, display your academic research, or let your creativity blossom, then a zine is for you. There are no rules, guidelines, or processes to follow — everything is up to you! These creations were used initially to highlight minority and underground interests. For example, mainstream magazines may highlight news and other events happening in pop culture and mainstream media. But what about niche topics such as music genres, outsider art, or small-town activists? Zines have filled this gap and provided an outlet to share their voices. Additionally, most people think the only way to be published is to submit their work to many different publications and hope for acceptance, get an agent, or work for a magazine or newspaper. But that’s not the With a Zine, Anything Is Possible!
We’ve all heard of journaling, scrapbooking, and creating collages, but have you ever thought about making a zine? A zine (pronounced “zeen”) is a self- published and noncommercial book you can create and showcase your talents to the world. Many businesses, such as Aesop and Supreme, have used zines to connect with readers and share their stories. And now, you can do the same!
case anymore! Anyone can create a zine — even if they don’t have any experience or training. How do you create a zine? Making your own zine is easy! All you need is paper, glue, scissors, pens, and photos from magazines or the internet. First, you want to take your paper (as many pieces as you wish) and fold each in half to make a book. Then, let your creativity take over! You can cut out newspaper or magazine clippings, print designs off the internet, or draw your own creations. Once you finish your zine, you can keep it to yourself or print and sell several copies. You can publish your zine on social media, reach out to different zine publishers such as Kiosk, Ditto, or Colpa Press, or contact your local, independent bookstore to see if they are willing to showcase your work. So, in honor of July being International Zine Month, let your creativity flourish and create your own!
