Maybe You’re Not
Starting Over.
Starting YOU. ā”
I’m Cheryl. And if you’ve spent most of your life taking care of everyone elseāmaking the plans, remembering the birthdays, finding the missing shoes, cheering from the sidelines and generally keeping civilization from collapsingāpull up a chair. I think we have a lot to talk about.
but it’s still
pretty darn good.
The Short Version
I’ve been a mom eight times (yes, eight!).
I faced infertility, then adoption, and watched our family grow in the most unexpected way.
After 26 years of marriage, I found myself a single mom to eight kids, with the youngest just seven. Life was hard, but it also made me stronger, funnier and more grateful than ever.
Somewhere along the way, I realized starting over wasn’t about rebuilding the life I used to have…
it was about discovering the woman
who was still standing there.
