Biography: Cheri Pierce

I am 40 as of today, October 12, 2009. I have made numerous attempts to become a realist but am truly a hopeless optimist (pun on words is intentional). But then, as the hopeless optimist that I am, I consider myself a realist, just with a better picture of the world than most. LOL What I do does not define me. I love my family and I love the mysterious . . . I love the idea that I am a magical being capable of creating with just my thoughts. I love the fantastic, but not the ridiculous nor outrageous. . . I love to witness the imagination in motion and I marvel at mankind's ability to wonder and evolve spiritually in the midst of so much negativity and darkness. I love creation and consider God/the Creator the Master Artist. I can think of no greater way to live than to be always in the midst of creating. . . I love not knowing . . . I love the adventure that life really turns out to be. Thankfully, it is not what I was socially conditioned to believe it was. Whew! I feel others' pain deeply and sometimes turn away from it but never truly from them. I believe without having to be convinced and never needing proof. . . I love my daughter with all of my heart and as deep as my soul. Besides God, Jesus and myself, there is no greater love for me in this life. I have found nothing at all that compares to the fulfillment I feel as a parent. I am blessed to have had this experience. I live to help others but must remind myself to first care for myself. I cannot imagine living in the world without contributing to the greater good. I often get lost on my path of good intentions for the Fear does have a way of overtaking me. But my faith is solid and my supporters diligent and as the Phoenix arises again and again from the ashes, so do I. May we all find the courage and strength to follow the Path we set out for ourselves before we came . . . May your journey be all that you Intend it to be.
