My name is Sherry Schultz, and this is not my first blog.  I am finding this a remarkably satisfying way to share my thoughts with the world — an opportunity I never had before.  A bio on me would include things such as the fact that I have been married 50 plus years and have three grown sons and two grand children.  Obviously, I am a senior citizen, but I trying to focus on the fact that all my years of experience in life have given me many things to say.

I began my work life as a teacher and then left the profession to raise my children.  It was what I thought caring parents did in those days.  Today I am not so sure I would follow that route, but it was what it was.  As our oldest got ready to go to college, I realized I needed to go back to work.  I studied counseling and became an addictions’ counselor in suburban Chicago — a job I loved until I retired several years ago.

Gradually, I became aware of the importance of having God in my life.   I had always been a religious person, but I truly had little idea of what it meant to be spiritual.  It’s been a long road, and it has not always been smooth and well paved, but it has led me to the place I hold today and I am content with it.  Life is good.  My eclectic interest in all the world’s religions has sculpted the way I look at life today.

Even before retirement, I began writing for a church email group, and I sent out what I called “Reflections for Friday” once a week for some time.   When a physical problem forced me to stop, I had about 200 such passages.  I also had a number of people from the group who had told me I should publish my material.  The time finally came when I decided it was time to write 165 more passages. edit those I had written, and put them into a book.  Thus “Talks with Our Creator” was born, and as you will note, many of the posts I am writing for this blog will come from that book, which is now available in both digital and regular formats.
