Rate this book
Powered by the Secrets Revealed in My Journey to Manifest Peace, Love & Gratitude is Cheri Warcholak Lohrey's raw, riveting, and heartfelt account of love, family, crushing challenges, and unbreakable courage. In it, Cheri Pauses to both mourn and celebrate her roots. She takes you on a heartbreaking ride from college student to hospital patient after being struck, along with her mom and sister, by a "metal beast" of an automobile at age eighteen. Decades later, she chooses to Breathe after nearly drowning in the dark days following her multiple sclerosis diagnosis.

Throughout Powered by the Pivot, Cheri lightens the heavy moments with her humor and gratitude for her many blessings. Her storytelling will spark memories of your own childhood. She believes in her powerful decision to "Never Give Up" and to share her challenges and Pivots as her life's mission continues to manifest.

Drive with the windows down, feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your face; let go of the experiences that cause your heart to ache, those you can't control. Seek solitude as you delve into your own journey; live, take action, and envision your life - the one you choose. Cheri's determination is driven from both a literal and metaphorical ride. Find out how she is able to Pivot.

Cheri is a friend I met at Color Street conference in Phoenix, AZ in 2022. It was a joy to see her in SLC in 2023 again, and I was so excited for her journey as an author. Her memoir is beautifully written and an uplifting story on making the most of life when things are challenging, while still talking about the struggles she’s endured before she figured out how to ‘pivot’. Would recommend to anyone looking to read an inspiring memoir 🧡

No matter where you are in your life- this book speaks to your heart

This book was recommended by a friend. Honestly I got it because the author was from the area I live in and I wanted to support local talent….

I was an avid reader till I lost my mom in June 2023. Nothing I picked up held my attention. Even books to help with loss. This is what my mom and I shared was a love of reading….

I started reading this book and it just spoke to me on so many levels.. the way Cheri talks about her personal life struggles. Her realness about it all… and even though mine weren’t like hers it helped me work thru some of the feelings I am having….

Highly recommend this book to those who are struggling and want to see someone who was dealt a bad hand and how she “pivoted” and saw it with positive outlooks and carried herself with grace.

A powerful reminder of how perspective changes everything

This was a random read that turned out to be a wonderful reminder of how much power lies in perspective. Cheri has been dealt some incredibly tough blows and yet meets them with honesty, grace, and gratitude. She’s refreshingly open about her journey through what could have set others asunder, finding meaning and strength in every pivot. Her story is proof that courage and love can transform even life’s hardest moments into lessons in peace.

Cheri is a childhood friend of mine. This is a powerful testimony on overcoming hurdles in life. This book speaks life, truth, intimacy, sadness, happiness, determination, roadblocks, solutions, overcoming, and victory. All the emotions are there and real. Cheri has a way with words and I enjoyed every one of them!
