33 years ago today, I basically died. 🤷‍♀️ It sounds dramatic, but it’s a huge step that I can say that now. For YEARS people tried telling me I have PTSD. I would argue vociferously. “You have to have been afraid you were going to die.” It took the executive director of a missing children’sContinue reading “My Deathiversary”

Today’s Epiphany: Rock Bottom is actually beautiful and filled with unexpected blessings. What brought this on? Well, I’ll tell you. My heart has been in really bad shape again for a couple of weeks. This morning I had a bit of a meltdown. I admitted to one of my closest friends that I’m afraid. OfContinue reading “The Beauty at Rock Bottom”

Admit it. You have a favorite number. Even if you don’t realize it, you do. I don’t know why, but we all do. A favorite number and an unlucky number. My favorite number is 8. Most people will never even notice, but I tend to use 8s every chance I get. It makes me happy.Continue reading “The (Sideways) 8”

So. Awhile back I wrote a blog that mentioned…*cough*…quite forcibly…how much I hate Jim Carrey. To paraphrase a character I love, ““Dear Jim, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You’re scum between my toes! Love, Sheri.” Now. Those are strong words. I admit it. Which made a blog friend question…”WHAT?! NO!! YOU’REContinue reading “WHY I HATE JIM CARREY. AN ESSAY – BY SHERI”

Say hello to my leetle friend, The Negativity Monster Actually he’s not so little. He’s pretty big and…if you’re being honest with yourself…you’ll probably have to admit that you have the same friend. This friend…he takes all of our negative feelings and expands them. Every time we get mad…anxious…scared…sad….every time we feel anything negative andContinue reading “Please Don’t Feed The Negativity Monster”

I can’t love this meme enough. ❤️ On 9/11 We all shared the horror of watching the towers fall. We held our breaths, collectively, as the next hours unfolded. We all cried as the names came rolling in. We all breathed sighs of relief as we found loved ones that were still safe. We allContinue reading “Live Like It’s 9/12.”

This blog brought to you by my absolute hatred of Jim Carrey. Weird, huh? There’s a point. So, I got to the gym this morning knowing that all I can really do today is walk on the treadmill. I accidentally ran 18.2 miles yesterday (#whoopsie) so anything else would have been dumb. ANYWAYS, I gotContinue reading “The Good”

I will never forget the day that someone looked at me…as I was playing with my camera…and said, “You know…they say you can really tell what someone loves in life by what they take pictures of. Some people take a lot of pictures of people. And then there’s you…and trees.” 😆 Touche. I deserved that.Continue reading “The Willow”

I rarely use my blog to brag on my boyfriend but something happened this weekend, that honestly was SO fundamentally different from what I’ve experienced in life, that it has stayed in my mind since then. To him…it was probably nothing. It’s just who he is. To me…it was…what I’ve always looked for without evenContinue reading “Respect…The Missing Ingredient”

Life lessons…They can hurt. Actually, they usually do. And we all accept that, but….yet…we all also eventually wonder why they still hurt after the lesson has been learned. Here’s why…and why it’s a good thing. A friend and I were talking yesterday. She was telling me about the first time she found REAL adult friendships.Continue reading “Positive Ghost Pains”
