Hey everyone, my new book is published!
One smile at a time changed thousands of lives starting with one unexpected calling
Clowning from the Heart is the true story of Cindy Love's unexpected calling to become "Sparkle," a gospel clown who brought joy, hope, and God's love into hospitals, schools, parades, and places marked by pain.
Through tender encounters with wounded children, skeptics, and strangers carrying heavy burdens, Cindy discovered a simple truth: healing often begins with being seen, heard, and loved. What started as a step of obedience became a ministry rooted in compassion, faith, and the quiet power of presence.
This heartfelt memoir shares how God uses ordinary people and simple acts of kindness to reach broken hearts and spark something miraculous.
Cindy Love-Sprengel was born and raised in California City, a small town in the Mojave Desert. As an adult, she became a self-taught clown, discovering along the way that authenticity and joy are what truly bring a clown to life.
For 35 years, Cindy served as "Sparkle the Clown," using humor, compassion, and faith to bring comfort and connection to people of all ages. Through her work, she learned that joy can open doors where words cannot, and that even the smallest act of kindness can leave a lasting impact.
Cindy is a devoted mother of two and grandmother of four, whom she lovingly calls the light of her world. She now lives in Walla Walla, Washington with her husband, Lew. When she's not clowning, Cindy enjoys knitting, crocheting, and crafting. She also shares her home with three cats, two Shih Tzus, and one Yorkshire Terrier.
Through Clowning from the Heart, Cindy invites readers into her story of obedience, compassion, and the quiet power of bringing joy where it's needed most.
