About Cheryl Cottreau

Cheryl Cottreau has a history of being an accountant – very logically minded. Yet around the edges of her soul there were hints of something more. She published her first book of poetry in 2013 called “Whisper of a Vision”. Even then there was a promise of more to come. She was already writing the essays that would become “Myths, Mysteries and Metaphors”.
Her interest in spirituality goes way back to childhood from wondering how big is infinity to what’s smaller than an atom. Her reading gave her clues, but her life gave her illustrations. And she wrote about what she experienced and what she pondered.
She lived a diverse life, overcoming depression, changing her career direction as opportunities presented themselves and taking on adventures where few would follow. She considers herself a mystic and a muse but being very grounded as an accountant. Now her expression as a writer is emerging.
This book may have been a long time in the making, but her ideas are as timeless as the stars. She is grateful for all the writers and teachers she discovered along the way.
The line from her poem Whisper of a Vision states, “Remember Love is why we’re here”. That’s how she hopes she will be remembered.
