Two running jokes in my life that go back as far as I can remember… “Sheri can’t ride a bicycle to save her life…hahahaha” “Oh, look…Sheri is apologizing again…hahahaha” Yup.

I will never forget the day that I finally snapped at Bella for constantly telling me, “One sec!!!!” as I tried to get her moving towards my plans for the day. She was only about 8…she was being a normal 8 year old…but I needed to get us where we were supposed to be…and sheContinue reading ““No More Secs!!!” (aka When God Needs Us to Just Listen)”

Alright, you guys. I have to admit something to you. Are you ready? Are you sitting? Maybe hold onto something to steady yourself. Ok…here it goes… I…am not perfect. WHAAAAATTT?!?! Ok. Has everyone’s shock subsided yet? But…really. I’m not perfect. No one is perfect. And the ones I’m closest to are the ones who canContinue reading “The Imperfection Connection”

I have been pretty much obnoxious about my new puppy this week. Which is borderline hilarious because I’ve really never been a huge dog person…and I had ZERO intention of getting a puppy. But…here we are… See.. what had happened was… I went for a run…didn’t even make it a half mile…when suddenly…I GET ATTACKEDContinue reading “Like a BOLT of Lightning”

So. This morning I did a dumb. I woke up…decided I felt ok…and decided to go for a run. Anyone who’s been following this probably knows that wasn’t necessarily the smartest idea…as I’m dealing with a heart issue… So…why? Why would I do such a stupid thing? Am I trying to prove I’m some kindContinue reading “All the Things She Said”

Blog Preface: Some may consider grace religious. Some may consider it humanity. I consider it both. We have a lot more in common with each other than we sometimes want to believe. (Also, this message weighed on me so heavily I’m writing it in a gas station parking lot. Lol) For what feels like myContinue reading “Grace”

Blog Preface: I speak a lot about gaslighting, because that was my experience. However, I’m not sure whether it was my history or just merely society and my gender that taught me to never be proud. So, please, feel free to let me know if this resonates with you even without a specific history. PRIDE.Continue reading “Pride”

Lord,Grant me THE SERENITY…To remember that this teenaged girl used to love me…even when she pushes my buttons…and screams, “WHY DO YOU HATE ME?!?!?!” at the top of her lungs at least once a day…while simultaneously refusing to leave my side long enough to let me pee…THE COURAGE…to enter her room without a hazmat suit…toContinue reading “An Honest Mother’s Prayer”

About half of the people in my world call me Domino. It’s a nickname that was given to me a couple of years ago by some ladies I was working out with…because one of the first things the group does is give you a nickname based on who you are. About three quarters of theContinue reading “DOMINO?”
