About

My name is Cheryl Hemmer. I am a wife of one husband, mother of two sons and two daughters-in-law, and Pama to 11 grandchildren. And I am a child of the one true God.

Hemorrhaging is defined as an escape of blood from a ruptured blood vessel, especially when profuse. Ernest Hemingway said writing is like bleeding.

I was educated, trained and employed as a writer a long time ago. Still, I never stopped being a writer. It’s part of who I am. It’s how I work through my thoughts. It’s how I express myself. When I sit down to write, I let my thoughts, my emotions, my words bleed out. Hemorrhaging. Or in my case, Hemmerhaging.

I do not write to tell others how to feel, what to think, or how to act. I write to figure out how I feel, what I think, and how I act.

So what will I use this blog to write about? Your guess is as good as mine. It will depend on what blood bath I am immersed in at the time, I suppose. I am not an expert on anything, so this blog will be about nothing in particular. It will just be an outlet for me to share and vent and explore. I may write about my faith (but I am no theologian); favorite – and sometimes least favorite – books, movies, plays, music and TV (I love all forms of media); day trips and long journeys (traveling is my #1 hobby); things I have learned from my children and their children (I’m still learning); my attempts at cute crafts and foods with my grands (I am a Pinterest wannabe); and, for the very bloodthirsty, I may work through my thoughts about events happening around us. I’ve always told myself I don’t care if anyone but my family – my blood relatives – read what I write. I write because I love it. But, if you want to see me shed blood – and believe me when I say there have been a few who have wanted to see that – you’re welcome to read along.
