“I was going through quite a few transitions in my life, and felt like I was in need of some guidance and help navigating some bigger decisions. I am so grateful for Cheryl and the insight and support she provided! She was with me through wrapping up my grad school program, figuring out a new career path, letting go of a years-long unhealthy friendship/relationship, as well as the beginning of a new (and healthy!) relationship! Through our work together, Cheryl helped me become more comfortable with speaking up for myself and working with feelings of anxiety around change and transitions in my life. Even more importantly, I really appreciated how Cheryl brought a sense of lightness and humor to our sessions! She has this wonderful ability to process tough things, however also bring in a sense of hope and humor that helped me not feel overwhelmed or bogged down. Her ability to help me find joy and excitement, rather than worry and fear when beginning a new relationship was so, so helpful and such a different way for me to learn how to approach something new. Six years later, my partner and I still use communication tools she introduced us to! Cheryl is such a bright light and I am truly thankful for having such a positive and insightful source of support!”

“I met Cheryl on a cross-country flight. In the grand scheme of life, my time with Cheryl was relatively brief, but that is not reflective of how very meaningful that time was. I have no doubt that I was meant to be sitting in that specific seat on the plane that day. I was going through a rough patch at that point in my life.

Cheryl and I began talking, and I quickly realized she was someone who had a lot of insight and was able to offer a different, appealing perspective on life and the approach to relationships, as opposed to some of the more common, perhaps unhealthy, views many people take.

Between exchanges in our conversation, she was also weaving an anklet. I asked about it, and she explained that she makes the anklets whenever she has a new goal to set; she ties it on, and when she reaches that goal, the anklet falls off on its own. I thought it was such a beautiful idea, wearing an anklet as a daily reminder to change your life for the better, no matter what goal is set.

We continued a deep talk that usually one wouldn't think to have with someone they've just met. It wasn't awkward though; it was comfortable and felt as if we'd known each other for years. At the end of the flight, we exchanged contact information to keep in touch.

About a week or so later, I received a surprise envelope in the mail. It was a lovely, encouraging note from Cheryl accompanied by one of the woven anklets. She had made one for me. I almost immediately set some goals, some quite large and ambitious goals in fact, and then I tied the anklet on.

To this day, the anklet is still in tact around my right ankle. I know I have more work to do to reach the high goals I set, but I have gotten closer to them. The progress is evident in my life, personally and professionally, and in my opinion, evident in how loose the anklet is now.

Cheryl and I still keep in touch via social media, and I smile every time I come across one of her posts or see her comments on mine. Of course, she is part of my journey as this anklet has been with me every step of the way, but even when I reach my goals and the anklet lets loose, Cheryl's inspiration will remain with me.
