Photography by Chesser Street Studio – Australia  ::   Sonia Genevieve-Sherri Says “The view is spectacular because you no longer need to fit in.” One of my significant, most formative wounds happened when I was in the fourth grade. I was part of a click of peers, four besties who played together every lunch, went home together after school and told each other our life secrets about love and life. We all lived within walking distance and it presented in my little world an example of healthy relationships.  Until one day when everything changed.  As I reached the top of the street, my friends where not there waiting...

Excerpts From Her Forthcoming Book Entitled: A Cut Above Brokenness  ::   Sonia Genevieve-Sherri Says “Heaven Didn’t Make a Mistake When It Made Us…” I distinctly remember strolling down the streets of my childhood neighborhood staring up at the pale limestone imperial buildings towering over me, their shadows protecting me from the hot Mediterranean sun. I remember all the wonderful things most kids remember, like the jingle of the ice cream truck from far off and all of us scrambling to find some coins to get our favorite flavor. I recall long, endless summer nights dressing up and playing in the piazza, the...

Sonia Genevieve-Sherri Says… “You Are Being Turned Into Something So Very Beautiful…” What if I told you that every single event that happened while you are alive was a predestined plan to mold you into the most amazing human being possible?

You like I, probably think that if you could just eliminate that problem and...

Sonia Genevieve-Sherri Says… “In Reality, You’re Not That Person in The Mirror.” Some of us simply don’t bother or worse drag ourselves into them, sampling items on offer with a studied ‘no expectation’ and pessimistically predicting that nothing will fit or look good. What the stores of ‘esteem crushers’ don’t tell us is that it is usually all about the lighting and the mirrors. The truth is we don’t look like that and the fluorescent spotlights are too harsh, the rooms too narrow, the mirrors set to widescreen and the combination is a guaranteed 10 lbs. increaser! The changing room: the place where...

We must remember  every innocent victim, every brave rescuer and every brave hero, who died in honor.   As the 11th year anniversary of the September 11th 2001 murderous terrorist attack arrives, certainly many people feel that the events of that day must never be forgotten. I personally hope in some way that in our 21st century where everything is expected yesterday, and it seems that many of our attention spans are often less than the length of a 30 minute sitcom or the length of a 140 character tweet. We will never… NEVERforget the cowardly and demonic acts that were perpetrated against our country, our freedoms and...
