My name is Cheri Koschir. And this is my story.
Cheri is French for beloved
And Koschir is pheonetically translated from Jewish as "blessed by a rabbi" so I was once told. It was what I had believed until only moments ago.

kosher has become English vernacular, a colloquialism meaning proper, legitimate, genuine, fair, or acceptable
I believed what you are called, is what you are. I was one hell of a teenager, with very few teachers or guides. I was judged for crimes I didn't do. And had no help when I really needed it. I was a mess.
But I somehow survived. I really haven't got a clue as to how this happened. By the grace of God, some would say. To be able to teach from it, others would also say. I learned the hard way, there is meaning in life. And, there is purpose.
Growing up with a name like Cheri Koschir was pretty freaking tough. How does one live up to a name like that?!
It's like eating an elephant one bite at a time. But that is what life is about. For anyone.
I have worked at many jobs in my life. I think I am doing my favourite one right now. To be a Realtor. And to be a writer. Because with both, you get to experience the most amazing people. And observe the beauty of who we are. Today, for instance, I was able to witness two people sharing a very caring moment, despite the fact that they no longer have a weak relationship, but a strong friendship. I saw two people who grew apart, but somehow found themselves still in eachother's hearts.
I am blessed with many moments in my days. I am blessed with being able to help people move on to the next stage of their life. I am blessed to watch my children grow up and be apart of their daily lives. I am blessed with being able to talk to both of my parents and walk with them on their journeys. I am blessed to have a man who cares for me and makes me laugh much more than cry. And he can ring a bell like no other :D
My journey hasn't been the easiest. But I chose it to be so. I am responsible for my choices. And I am responsible for making the changes that needed to be made. It was hard work. However the rewards are worth it.

The woman I am so very greatfull to for taking her challenges and turning them into her victories. So that I may do the same. Google her. She's very interesting. And has helped so many.
I would like to eat a few more bites off the elephant. Not that I condone eating elephants. I am talking hypothetically here, PETA.
I have always wanted to volunteer my time somewhere. I value my time very much now. Since my sister's death. And even before that when I was diagnosed with cancer. It is the only thing we can never get back. Including the 13 months I needed to get help to change my life. That time will never come back. I have the rest of my life to make up for not talking to my sister during that time. But now I give my time to Heart House Hospice.
Dear God,
Please have it so that I win the Lotto/Max jackpot tonight. You have seen me fit enough to be blessed with my beautifull, healthy (and sometimes a little too smart) children. Can you now see to it that I can afford the little buggers too? Thank you for being such a great listener all these years, but I think it might be time to lend a little extra help. Thank you for any help you could send my way. I really appreciate it. Thanks!

Please tell my sister Heidi that I say hi. And tell her that I miss her so much. We all do. Tell her I am doing the best I can around here. But, I am not her and never had the energy like she always had. Anyways, I am sure she knows everything going on down here. And I am sure you have her pretty busy up there with you. I can't imagine you got her to be with you for any other reason than for something really important. Let her know that I tell the kids about her as much as I can so that they will always remember her even though the little ones didn't really know her love well. I am sorry. I gotta go. I can't see the screen anymore for crying so much over her. You know what to tell her. Afterall, you are The All-knowing. Please? Thank You!
