Right Now . . .

Posted by Cheryl Ries on Monday, September 20, 2010, In : Cheryl Ries, Blog

I didn't, and so, I made mistakes, I lived my life with a flawed sense of reality, sometimes quite selfishly focusing on all the wrong things, the things which don't really matter when it comes right down to it.

About Me

Cheryl Ries

Phoenix, Arizona

I'm Cheryl, and this is my own website home. I've been told since I was a child that I was talented at writing, yet I never took it to heart. I floundered about my entire life, wondering what gifts I had to share with the world. Now, at this stage of the game, I've come to realize that I might have had indications from the earliest years. After many years in several different roles, including retail sales and management, modeling, and entrepreneurial activities, I've decided to let my creative energy flow through my virtual pen, onto the screen's page and this site's blog page. Most recently, I've taken my blogging to www.cherylries-author.com. I'm also in the process of writing, some projects are ready for publication and some have already been published; a few ideas are in various stages of development. Those should be coming to come to fruition very soon! It's an exciting and stimulating time ahead, and this website encourages me to go for it with gusto! So, other than knowing that I'm female, from the desert southwest of the USA and the product of a very stable, happy family life . . . what else would you like to know? More to come on the pages of this website . . . ciao and have a great day!! Cheryl Ries
