Featured at this event, were several of Sheryl’s gift books from the Heart Book Series, including: Heart of a Mother, Heart of a Woman, Heart of a Woman in Business, and the Heart of a Mother Music CD. After the presentation, Sheryl autographed gift copies.

Christmas Poem/Prayer: NATIVI-TEA
Christmas, Poems| No Comments »Christmas Poem/Prayer:
NATIVI-TEA
At the moment of my birth there was a celebration, too.
The angels sang and God was all I knew.
God was all I remembered – for on earth
as in Heaven we are all one.
To remind us of this God sent us his Son.
Once a year we are reminded of His special birth.
It is a rejoicing that encircles all of the earth.
Gifts are given, hearts open wide, the focus is on good
and we all take pride.
The hope for my daily rebirth is now understood.
A child in a manger, simple and pure –
a symbol of peace and innocence –
that we are all safe from danger, sound and secure.
To be in God’s presence is the present I truly need.
In this time of celebration I am freed from my own greed.
I live to give – my gifts I share.
I do not hide them or disguise them,
nor place them under a tree.
My gifts of love and laughter, kindness and caring
were meant for sharing –
not just once a year or for a select few.
The gifts I have are unique to me
and I celebrate my own nativity.
Every birth is planned, every child has a right,
every life is precious, delicate and meant to be.
On the tree of life every child’s light shines bright for all to see.
Thank you, God; my own light clears my visibility.
There is a place for each and every one of us
on God’s special tree.
We glisten and twinkle in colourful harmony.
We each have our place and together
we light up the world as we claim our space –
next to each other, side by side,
loving and grateful God takes pride
at the birth of each and every one of His children –
that’s you and me.
Christmas is a celebration of all we are and all we can be.
Thank you God, for this divine festivity.
Amen.

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.
Buy Heart of a Woman in Business here.
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.

Type-A Mom Gift Guide – Gifts for Moms
Monday, 10 November 2008
When I agreed to review this book, I was thinking of my own experiences as a Mom (two young children and a third due in April). I didn’t stop and think about the fact that I lost my own Mom to cancer last year, and every single thought in this book would bring it all back.
Still, I’m glad I got to read it. I cried all the way through the “Loss and Grieving” section, and the “A Mother’s Love” section, and especially through “Mom’s Pink Robe.” They got me: those collections of stories, personal and real; the poems that somehow captured my exact feelings; the quotations that succinctly and beautifully summed it up in a line or two.
Heart of a Mother is written by Sheryl L. Roush, an international speaker and author. Her website is www.SherylRoush.com. You can purchase the book here : $16.95 for paperback.
More Details
The book begins with a section called “10 Ways to Open Your Heart to Your Mother,” and it’s an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to deepen and improve the Grown-Up Child-Mom relationship. The rest of the book is divided into sections which are arranged alphabetically, from “Adopted with Love” to “Making a Difference” to “Raising Spiritually-Centered Kids” to “Worthiness.” At the very back of the book is a section of Journaling Worksheets; there is space to write directly on them in the book, or they could easily be copied.
This is a great collection for any Mom – for your mother-in-law, your daughter who just had her first baby, your grandmother, your Mom, or even for yourself. It’s the kind of book that you can flip through on a whim and find yourself crying and laughing within ten minutes of reading time. There is a spiritual element within the book, but most is not “religion-specific,” so to speak, so the book easily accommodates people of all faith.
The Bottom Line
The best recommendation I can give is this: if my Mom were still with me, this book would definitely be one of my gifts to her this Christmas.
