The Fortune I Forgot
Last night, when Bella and I got Chinese, I got two fortune cookies. I ate the first right after dinner. I was laughing because my cookie actually had two fortunes inside. My future was FULL of possibilities! 🤣 Later, I ate the second cookie. It had no fortune. My immediate thought was, “Ouch. Are you…
Do Better, WSJ
Since I keep seeing news segments on it…I have to say something. The Wall Street Journal did an article this week saying that therapists are pushing people to become estranged from their parents. I’ll address more of it later, but there is one serious part I need to address first because I think its implications…
2026: The Year Sheri Stopped Fucking Around…And Finally Found Out
Randomness: I am dubbing 2026: The Year Sheri Stopped Fucking Around…And Finally Found Out. Obviously, the job change. At the end of 2025, I finally admitted to myself that nothing was going to get better until I stopped (possibly literally) killing myself professionally. Years of 60-100 hour weeks had gotten me to the point where…
You Quack, I’ll Neigh
I started to spiral a little bit today. It started with such a stupid thing. My sister-in-law had an Instagram post about great fathers and included pictures of my father and my uncle. Why would that make me spiral? Honestly, most people who know them would call them great men. And of course my sister-in-law…
Moments of Grace
I was speaking earlier with someone about finding what I’m passionate about. If you’ve read my blog much, you’ll know that, for me, life is all about living with empathy and intentionality. Based on our conversation, they suggested that my core value is inclusion. I sat with that for a while. On the surface, all…
Resilient
I think a lot about the word “resilient”. (I know. I know. Hide your shocked face. Sheri was thinking a lot about…a word…) ANYWAYS… Resilient. What does it mean exactly? Welp, let’s break it into three definitions. Characterized or marked by resilience: such asa) capable of withstanding shock without permanent deformation or ruptureb) tending to…
The Last
One of my favorite things lately is re-reading my old blogs when they show up in the traffic. Sometimes it’s because I’m pretty freaking funny. Other times, it’s because I find wisdom I forgot somewhere along the way. Today, someone read a blog I wrote about how I try to be intentional in sharing kindness,…
The Superpower Grief Gave Me
Sooooooooo…how’s it goin’? 😉 I know I haven’t written much in a pretty long time. But…this time it’s because I’ve been trying to learn to live again after losing Aaron. I *am* starting. I had a rather transcendent experience at Warped Tour last November that gave me the push I needed to get my life…
Flashback
Preface this to say, I’m not feeling any kind of way tonight. I’m a-ok, b-ok, etc. I’ve just been meaning to get this thought down for awhile now. So, one of the wonders of PTSD is flashbacks. Luckily, I didn’t have to deal with those. Or…so I always thought. Like most people, I always assumed…
Dear Aaron,
I think you’d be proud of me. I’ve been finding my way back to life lately. Bella and I took that trip to Warped and…it kind of pushed me out of my fear. (I should probably mention that I found myself talking about you a lot that weekend. Like I was trying to bring you…
