So Many Choices . .

Posted by Cheryl Ries on Wednesday, July 27, 2011, In : Cheryl Ries, Blog 
The best part of life is having choices whereby we can make the most of our dreams.  The worst part of life is having so many choices whereby we can become lost in all the confusing options we encounter trying to make our dreams come to fruition!  I don't know how we get into stages of life with virtually no sense direction, but we do sometimes.  We can honestly be so overwhelmed with our own freedom, so frightened by the sense of absolute emptiness in our life, that the very knowledge of reb...

Big Plans For a Big Life

Posted by Cheryl Ries on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, In : Cheryl Ries, Blog 
If you want to have a big life, you have to make big plans, design your own big dreams and dream bigger dreams than people think are possible achieving!  Life isn't a trial and error process, it's in the execution of purposeful living.  If you persist that it is only filled with obstacles and occlusions, then guess what?  That's what you'll encounter each and every step of the way!  When you see the inability to achieve something easily as a minor inconvenience which forces you to amend your ...

Reality, What a Concept!

Posted by Cheryl Ries on Friday, September 17, 2010, In : Cheryl Ries, Blog 
Dreams are what drive us to compose our lives, they make our lives rich with color, beauty, and motivate us forward like our own inherent propellers.  Reality, though, now that's a concept! 

I'm insistent in pointing out that the counter-balance to fantasy is reality.  Seems like that should be common sense, but many people live their entire lives wasting possibilities because they refuse to see the beauty and joy within reality.  It's filled with imperfection, so reality isn't going to be "p...

When You Wish Upon a Star . . .Or, How To Dream Big!

Posted by Cheryl Ries on Thursday, September 16, 2010, In : Cheryl Ries, Blog 
I'll be frank here, dreaming is always in competition with my more practical side, the realistic side which screams, "Don't you open up your heart to those foolish dreams, you're just asking for trouble!"  I've admittedly been broken down, busted apart and found myself wondering why I ever dared to dream when they pan out and fall to pieces.  I've always gotten back up, stepped back into my "fantasy", and hoped all over again.  The true nature of a positive thinker is optimism, but also the v...

Your Life in Ad Lib . . .

Posted by Cheryl Ries on Wednesday, September 8, 2010, In : Cheryl Ries, Blog 
When I was young, there was only one reality for me.  I was only interested in being a wife and a mother.  Looking back, all the things I did, all the activities I practiced, my play, my favorite times, my significance, all was vested in that journey.  Lo and behold, the two things of significance I have not done in my lifetime are those very things which I spent my childhood playtime and chore time in preparation.  I knew how to cook, bake, clean house, sew and I observed with admiring eyes,...

About Me


Cheryl Ries 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
