About Me

Welcome to Choosing Cheer!  I am Theresa.  I am a deeply spiritual person, with enormous faith.  I also swear like a pirate, occasionally make inappropriate comments, and laugh at dirty jokes.  I believe strongly that God made me just the way I am for a reason, with no apologies, and His only expectation of me is that I continue to be true to myself while I search for ways to grow and improve.

Let’s face it – life can be filled with frustrations, worries and stress. Keeping our chins up when times are tough is really hard! Choosing Cheer is all about finding the joy in our daily lives… the smiles in the mundane and the laughter in our tears. My goal is to spread the message that there are a thousand positive ways to navigate our days.

I hope this site will make you laugh, think, regroup, and appreciate the reality that we are all imperfect beings doing the best we can in an imperfect world. If you believe in the infinite power of faith, have a desire to improve upon yourself while embracing your weaknesses, and prefer to do it all while sipping a good margarita, this just may be the site for you.  We are challenged every day to dig deep and find the strength, grace and humor to get us through each crisis.  I invite you to join me in this adventure, so grab a seat, open your soul, and pass the guacamole. Together, we can find countless ways to greet each moment with a smile and an extra dose of cheer. Want some cheering up?
