This has been an exciting month for me to say the least!   I attended the Illinois Association for Multicultural Counseling Annual Spring Conference on May 4, 2018, at Governors State University in University Park.  We had a dynamic speaker who spoke about multiculturalism and diversity.  You missed a treat!

After that, I was in the 5th annual local author book fair at the Hammond Public Library, 564 State Street, Hammond, Indiana.  I such a wonderful time and I learned a whole lot.  I met some amazing authors doing great things in the community with their messages and their books.  If I missed you, pick up your books here!

Mothers Day was May 13th and I am so grateful to be able to share it with my mother one more year.  We had a delicious brunch at the Hilton Oak Lawn and we spend some time together taking pictures and just enjoying the moment.

I am being honored along with 10 other fabulous ladies for our commitment to saying Yes when life needed us to.  This is the brainchild of Founder, Michelle McKinnie,  We are the Deror Woman-One Year Later!  I am most honored and so humbled to be in this position.  I did not ask for this, but I am so grateful that I was in the place at the time that I was.  It brings me to tears and it makes me happy all at the same time because I did say Yes!  This event is coming up May 25, 2018, in Richton Park, Illinois.  I’ll be sure to share my experiences with you.

I am working on a collaboration with 12 amazing speakers who will bring forth the word and empower people across the world!  My topic is empowerment and grief.  I can’t wait to share what I have learned along my journey.  Won’t you join me in supporting the compilation when it comes out June 2018?

I have a few more events and surprises coming up in the future.  Stay tuned for updates and what is happening in the life of Author Cherie Barnes!  I promise it will be fun:)

In Healing,

Cherie
