Type-A Mom Gift Guide – Gifts for Moms
November 7, 2008
Books have always been a favorite holiday and birthday present both for me to give and receive, but some books tend to make better gifts than others. Heart of a Woman in Business by Sheryl L. Roush is one of those books. As a stay-at-home mom who just recently launched an online business, this book could not have entered my life at a better time. This small, square bedside tome makes for perfect evening reading.

Divided into fourteen sections with headings such as “Inspirations for the Heart,” “Light Moments,” and “Best Practices, Strategies & Ideas,” this work not only provides enjoyment for any woman who has struggled to combine work and family, worked hard to excel in her career, or launched a business of her own, but it also offers valuable tips and advice from one woman to another.
Author Sheryl Roush shares with the reader not only her best practices and suggestions, but she has also assembled a marvelous collection of inspirational quotes and wonderfully written passages from highly successful men and women. One such passage that I’ve found particularly inspirational is from Kimberly Anne’s “What is Your Occupassion?” She writes,
I remember one of my girlfriends in elementary school who said that she wanted to be a flight attendant when she grew up…She still loves being a flight attendant. It’s what I call her ‘occupassion.’ We’re not all like that, though. I certainly wasn’t. I didn’t realize my calling, so to speak, until I was forty-two years old. I used to secretly think that there was something wrong with me because I’d start looking for something else whenever I was in a position for a few years. The realist in me seemed to always pursue jobs within the same field, but that thing in me that wanted to feel fulfilled by the work I did still yearned for something – something it wasn’t getting.
This work is not only something that I have been able to relate to, but have found to be simultaneously inspirational. I highly recommend checking out this book as well as the others in the Heart Book Series for the women who hold your heart this holiday season.
Heart of a Woman in Business is written by Sheryl L. Roush, an international speaker and author. Her website is www.SparklePresentations.com. You can purchase the book here : $16.95 for paperback.
