I am writing to share the story of how Cheeks has impacted my life. It is only because I have such enormous admiration and respect for this man that I am willing to share my personal story so publicly. I told Cheeks that I would support him in any way that I could and I meant that. I'm a forty year old woman who's had my fair share of trials & made more than my fair share of mistakes thus far. Raised in a place where anger & hatred replaced love & compassion, my self-esteem was grossly impaired. There were eventual consequences to be paid for my resulting lack of judgment & I paid dearly. By my late twenties I was totally self-destructing & was forced into getting some help. Things steadily improved from then on but having lived in darkness for so long, today I still struggle just to stay in the light. A battle rages in my mind daily. Anyone who is creative enough to get inside of my head & respectful enough to get inside of my heart, planting seeds of pure happiness love & light, is indeed a miracle worker. This is exactly what Cheeks has done for me. He is truly an angel. When I first saw his picture on the internet I knew immediately that there was something very special about him. At the time, I had just gone through a major transitional period in my life (turning forty & losing a lifetime love) which I was not adapting to very well. My support system was broken & I was haunted by my past. Defensively I withdrew from a world which I perceived at the time to be cold & dangerous. I found Cheeks videos on You-Tube & something just happened where I was emotionally lifted beyond any rational explanation. I believe that it was the divine timing of the universe which put him into my life when I so desperately needed his inspiration. The message I got was one of joy, laughter & lightness. It was delivered in a way that I was able to accept without hesitation. All you need to do is simply take one look into his eyes & these things are literally infused into your soul. I find it unbelievable that there are still people who haven't fully embraced Cheeks or discovered his enormous talent, winning charm & witty personality. Not only does he possess these exquisite gifts but he continues to share them with the world even in the face of adversity. I've seen negative comments & accusations hurled at him from different directions where I was literally stunned by the lack of human decency of the attackers. Cheeks, however, did not take it to heart. If anything, he seemed to use it only as incentive to work harder for his real fans and his true causes. That is probably the most powerful impact that he has had on my life. I benefit more profoundly from the quality example of this one soft spoken, intelligent person of integrity than from a thousand other examples of loud, ignorant & ruthless people who couldn't hold a candle to Cheeks even on their best day. Not in this lifetime.
