Hello! I’m Cherita Axel, a proud Buffalo, NY native and the middle child in a bustling family of seven—five boys and two girls. I currently reside in the NW suburbs of Chicago with my husband of 26 years, our 23-year-old child and our dog, Cooper.
Professionally, I work as a Customer Service Rep for an insurance broker by day. In the evenings and on weekends, I’m a graphics and web designer at my own company, Digital Stitch Designs. I’m passionate about technology and enjoy tinkering with computers, both Macintosh and PC. But above all, writing is my life's blood.
I discovered my love for writing at the age of eight while crafting a Halloween story for a third-grade assignment, and that spark has only grown since. Over the years, I’ve penned countless poems, though many were lost in a devastating house fire. I’ve explored short stories, articles, and even an unfinished screenplay, fueled by my active imagination where anything is possible.
I also have a passion for fitness, though it might not be evident from my current appearance! This journey has inspired me to incorporate fitness into my website, serving as motivation to get back on track.
Why Did I Create This Site?
I created this site to document my journey on this beautiful planet—be it a detailed reflection on my day, a simple observation of a spider weaving its web, or a hilarious joke from my child. This space is dedicated to showcasing my writing—both the good and the not-so-good—as well as my fitness journey. Here, you can find updates on my workouts, dietary choices, and reflections on my progress.
In essence, this site is a personal endeavor—a place for me to share my life and thoughts. If you’re interested in learning more about me, please make yourself at home, but prepare for the imperfections of life.
Welcome to my journey. I hope you enjoy the adventures!
