… and when Cheryl isn’t gardening for others or at home, she is an ordained interfaith minister, offering companionship on the spiritual journey. She is a student of the Living School of Action and Contemplation, studying the ways of Christian contemplative practice and universal wisdom traditions. She loves time shared with friends, walking, cooking (and eating), reading, visiting gardens, visiting galleries, going wherever there’s beauty to be seen or heard, writing, knitting, playing with color, changing habits with the seasons, singing, laughing, going to movies, and coming home to lots of quiet.
Lovely, dear!
Thank you, Friend.
Beautiful website, Cheryl! It reflects, very well, the Cheryl I know and love. Jim
Thanks for having a look, Jim, and for your kind praise and support.
Cheryl I really enjoyed meeting you and reading your work. . Hope to see you again. Desiree
Oh, Desiree! The feelings are so mutual. Please stay in touch. I’m rooting for your big changes, and would love to support in any way I can. There is a fabulous family of gardeners up your way: the Parmenters. Know them?
Nice to “see” you again. Love the site.
Thank you! So glad you found me!
Wonderful website Cheryl. And a wonderful afternoon. Thank you and much love, Nancy
…and a wonderful friend you are…so much love.
Cheryl – you have instantly become an inspiration to me thru your article in the Colorado Gardener and from your website. I dare say we are kindred spirits of sorts in this horticultural world. Thanks for the inspiration. Much gratitude!
Wow, Leslie. That makes my day! How gratifying. What would you say makes us “kindred spirits of sorts?”
