I’m Not Done Yet
…And You Shouldn’t Be Either
In this thought-provoking and actionable book, Dr. Cynthia Barnett shares her story of overcoming obstacles, embracing change, fighting injustice, and refiring her spirit.
Cynthia shares stories of what led her to fulfillment, from a childhood growing up on the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean to coming to America, struggling to get accepted into an American university, marrying, raising children, surviving divorce, and ultimately, rising to the top of her field.
Through all life’s unexpected twists and turns, she was repeatedly faced with decisions that seemed beyond her. Often, she had to paddle extra hard just to tread water. But once she made the decision not to drown in self-pity, she threw herself into learning how to swim so she would never again feel helpless in the rough waters of life.
Learn to swim is something she did, and you will as well when you follow the example she sets in I’m Not Done Yet.
“No Matter Where You are in Life, There’s Always More To See, To Do, and To Be.
Don’t Settle for Retirement. Embrace Refirement!”
~ Dr. Cynthia Barnett

From memories of her childhood on the island of St. Vincent through her “re-fired” retirement years in the United States, we get a vivid glimpse of selected experiences and life lessons she’s learned growing up and growing into her later years. Her determination to shape her life to fit her dreams shows through in I’m Not Done Yet, propelling the reader through the book only to come to the last page wanting to apply the same principles that have undergirded the author throughout her days. Each chapter’s ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ bonus provides an added lens of experience tempered with time, making for a double dose of a good read.”
