Hello,
    I am a photographer, I love taking pictures.
    I am currently in a relationship in which I am incouraged to be myself. The concept of my ideas and desires being supported came hard to me. This actually took me years to grasp, but he says I am his butterfly and just starting to spread my wings.
   Any and all comments are encouraged as well as suggestions too. Thank you for the comments you leave as well as suggestions. I will try to find interesting photo opportunities so that I can give you wonderful pictures to view.
   Cheri
Update: 06-20-09
       I have found another family on Renderosity. All the people here are just incredible. Things are starting to change in a really positive direction for me. I am currently starting to do portraits, and am thinking about making this my full time position. One day I hope to tell my boss to jump in the lake. I think having a career that I love and can be proud of is now my goal.
Clarification 09-20-09
 I do portraits for family members and friends. I don't charge them because I need someone to practice with.
  Well I think I found something that I can be proud of. Not in photography, but in sales. I am my own boss. I can never be fired or laid off. I sell stuff I use and love. So I know I can stand behind it. Just need to build my customer base. Once I do, I will just do this and only this.
       Friends Always,
                            Cheri

Having had two aunts (one blood family, one close family friend) go through fighting against cancer over the past year, I know how vital support can be. I'm more than happy to provide whatever support you need. Knowing you through your art - well, that says a lot. You deserve the support. {{{Hugs To You}}} You'll beat it. (And re the subject - you are, of course, more than welcome.)

Awww!! This is really a nice dedication to soo many wonderful people, and friends. Great job sweetie and such a beautiful rose for them. I don't think I can ever thank all of you enough for all of your words of encouragement and support. It's kind of odd being on the other side of the fence, witnessing this outpouring of love and caring, and now I.....being a true Libra, feel so indebted. I'm So glad you finally named this Cheri, rule #1 in any battle is to know your foe, acknowledge it and prepare,..I am so proud of you for doing this, so now we can move on to step two, which we've already actually begun, planning and preparing, in fact we have even gone as far as instigating part of step three ( the fight, it just doesn't know it yet). But we can finally cross out completion of the first. I completely understand you reluctance, but you need to understand all I"m trying to do is protect your natural resources!..........well that and because they are two of my favorite buddies, whom I've grown very fond of!! Thank you all! I knew she would just love you all, and enjoy so much just being a part of this community, but I really had no idea how much a part of her life this and you would all become. You are all just sooo incredible!!!!

No matter how many of us stand beside you, it is still something you do by yourself...fighting cancer. I know. And I know how in quiet moments - when washing dishes, watching TV... all those everyday things, it pops up in your mind like a beacon that won't be put out. But you can do it. You can win this. The fear, the denial, the anger, the acceptance of the battle...it is what we all go through and no one can stop it. but it is your will to win that will triumph. Because you are special and because you want to fight. :-) I know and I care. Your photo is lovely. Keep finding beauty and capture it to share with others. It gives reminds you of how good you really are. :-) We already know.

OH yeah, it is such a big word, but you will be strong and powerful.

" I.....being a true Libra, feel so indebted." Cheri, The only debt you owe our Renderosity community is to pull yourself through this and know that our prayers, thoughts, prayers, love, did I mention prayers(?) are with you. Oh, yeah, keep us informed on your PROGRESS! :o)

This is beautiful Cheri, wonderful postwork! But the thanks really go to you and Dave for showing us what a powerful team you are, your courage and determination to beat this is very strong and that helps to give the rest of us the strength and courage that we need to fight our own battles. We all draw from each other the things that we need and in turn give it back when its needed. Plus, Dave has already shown us that you can slay the monsters:-) Wishing you an easy journey and much love and peace my friend!

my neighbour has fought the same disease and won it! don't think it'll tale 5 minutes, because it takes time, but you'll win too!

Getting it passed your lips is a HUGE step! You made the first hurdle and with the love and strength of family and friends you'll make the next step! In my prayers! Gorgeous flower!!!

Lovely postwork effect in this shot of the lovely rose, Cheri! We're all pulling for you. You've got a lot of sweet spirit! Let us hope that this is just a minor hump on your road of life.

People in large heart are touched severe moments and I believe that it is necessary to be made send like words of kindness. Because the kindness is the savour of the giant for whom the others haunt them to have lost a little vitality . All savours received deserved them to you and more. Who takes time for the others glorifie of the perceived benefits. Cheer still and mile mercies of this splendid Rose MICKEYRONY ((6.5+)) Des personnes aux grands coeur sont touchées de sévères moments et je crois qu'il est nécessaire de se faire envoyer comme des mots de gentillessse. Car la gentillesse est la saveur des géant pour qui les autres les hantent pour avoir perdu un peu de vitalitée . Toutes saveurs reçus vous les méritiez et plus . Qui prend le temps pour les autres se glorifie des bienfaits perçus . Bravo encore et mile mercis de cette magnifique Rose MICKEYRONY ((6.5++))

Riding out the storm can be frightening and at times overwhelming, but there are those of us who have been there and are still here (I am a 23-year breast cancer survivor). Wishing you strength, courage and whatever it takes for a full recovery.
