As opposite as we are, we were made for each other.
Cheryl was born and raised in Pennsylvania. She currently lives in the Mid West.
Special Education, Journalism and Reading Specialist were Cheryl’s college concentrations. She taught preschool, was an Administrative Assistant to a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania architect and a Princeton, New Jersey management consultant, and a church secretary. With true entrepreneurial spirit, she has been and is now a successful small business owner. She home schooled her college graduate/business owner children to high school. Cheryl has authored a Small Business column for a local newspaper as well as several books.
Cheryl and Ed were married 37 years ago. They have three fabulous daughters and one equally fabulous son-in-law, all of whom she is immeasurably proud. Their sweet Coton de Tulear, Justina, keeps them laughing.
Cheryl Wills’ quest for Truth led her to The Catholic Church in 2000, after a lifetime devoted to the Christian faith as a Protestant. As her conversion story reveals (Journeys to Peace…The Journey Home and The Journey Continues: Fulfillment of a Call, regarding her husband’s ordination to the priesthood), she is grateful to have discovered certain peace, at last. Evidence of her unquenchable thirst for the Lord is in her blog.
Her passion to make a difference through writing stems from her love of children and her intense desire to make the world they live in a better place. Children will ultimately benefit from her written word. Their world will also improve when adults are educated to better health choices, which she does as a Wellness Consultant. All better choices make a difference in future generations.
Family time, photography and painting, cycling and hiking are some of the ways her life remains in balance. Daily Mass, prayer, and meditation keep Cheryl centered.
Cheryl’s prayer:
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
O God, you are my God whom I seek;
for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary
to see your power and your glory,
For your kindness is a greater good than life;
my lips shall glorify you.
Thus will I bless you while I live;
lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name.
As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied,
and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you.
You are my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
My soul clings fast to you;
your right hand upholds me.
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Psalm 63
