Reflections on 2009

Reflections on 2009
by Sheryl Roush, December 26, 2009

As I look back at this "most interesting" year, insightful during this economically challenging, globally-warming, and emotionally growing year, sitting at the keyboard the day after Christmas, wearing my fluffy Santa socks and Reindeer sweatshirt, and indulging in the best Sweet Potato Yam left-overs I’ve ever made, I reflect upon the "most interesting" events of this year, for me personally and professionally, and share the highlights here.


New Year’s Eve 12/31/2008
Did vision boards with my best friend, Debbi McGill, to attract her perfect mate. She met Peter Alexis in June (even though she’d known of him all her life through her big Greek family), dated, and got engaged in December. Their wedding date set for April 2010.
Insights: YES, we are ALL that powerful of manifesters when we FOCUS on what we want. And that soul mates truly DO exist.

January 13, 2009
While being an audience member at the Dr. Phil show during his taping of the new season, I won a prize for DANCING. Same day, while being an audience member (proudly wearing a San Diego Chargers shirt) at THE PRICE IS RIGHT, I heard hollered those words "Sheryl Roush….Come on Down!" Even though being the last bidder of the show, and the lady next to me won the double grand showcases, I still walked away with $2,000 worth of great prizes! And had a conversation with show host Drew Carey, about the Charger Girls. What a hoot! (Pictured: San Diegan Ester Berry and our signs they make when they call your name in the studio.) The show has aired several times since its original broadcast on February 26.
Insights: It helps to be present to win! Be who you ARE… don’t try to be something–or someone–you’re not.

April 2009:
Spoke in a real Castle. Benedict Castle. Dressed in full costume. Over the years the castle has been used as the setting for several movies such as Hunchback of Notre Dame, Bride of Frankenstein, 1948’s Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein and 1965’s Two On a Guillotine with William Conrad and Connie Stevens. Located in Riverside, CA.
Insights: No matter what age or profession, you can still play "dress-up" and have fun!


Presented at the Bakersfield’s Women’s Business Conference, on the program with hilarious Vicki Lawrence of The Carol Burnett Show and Mama’s Family.

May 7, 2009:
Star Trek, the new movie released! Saw the first showing in San Diego day… on the first day… on the IMAX screen. I’m a Trekkie… need I say more?


Coached the San Diego Charger Girl cheerleaders for my ninth consecutive year, conducting a 7-week training program, boosting self-esteem, public speaking and media interview skills of 28 amazing young and talented women. (I know, tough job, but someone’s got to do it, right?)


July 24-26, 2009:
Comic-Con International San Diego is the largest native event hosted in my home town each year, and 2009 celebrated its 40th annual convention. Originally started in 1970 with a one-day minicon (think of it as "Comic-Con Zero") at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego, it featured comic artists. Today, Sci-Fi stars, authors, producers, galore thrill their costumed fans.

This summer, I was asked to serve as "handler" for Star Trek’s "Mr. Spock" Leonard Nimoy and "Data" Brent Spiner, plus "Hercules" Kevin Sorbo for the 4-day event. <Twist my arm — and pinch me, too!>

What a pleasure to get to know each of these stars, and be of service, by their side, driving them through the city, attending to their needs. Mr. Nimoy impressed me as such a gentle giant, incredibly talented, well beyond his galactic character, but also as a photographer, poet, and gentleman. Great sense of humor too. We laughed over autographing Trouble with Tribbles, and the fun he had with his adoring fans. As I delivered him curbside at the airport on our final day, he embraced me with a most endearing hug, and placed gentle kiss on my cheek. "You are, and will forever be, my friend," rings so true of words in this meeting with this amazing man.

August 14, 2009:
Received the esteemed Presidential Citation from Toastmasters international President Jana Barnhill, in Mashantucket, Connecticut. Selected from 253,000 members in 106 countries. "This award recognizes your outstanding achievements in representing the goals and ideals of Toastmasters International. It is one of Toastmasters’ highest honors. We congratulate you for your outstanding contributions and dedication to the Toastmasters International ideals."
– Toastmasters International headquarters

"Sheryl Roush, a Toastmaster of 22 years and Past District Five Governor, is an Accredited Speaker. A frequent presenter at district training sessions and conferences, regional conferences, and international conventions, Sheryl willingly contributes to the organization at all levels. As a professional speaker, she has and continues to promote Toastmasters in her local community and around the world. Her published works include material for and about Toastmasters. But Sheryl is best, one-on-one as coach and mentor, touching the heart of every Toastmaster with whom she comes in contact."
– Herb Nowlin, DTM, Past International Director, Parliamentarian for Toastmasters International

Insights: It’s easier to be humble when serving others without seeking to receive awards. Do what you know is right in your heart, giving without expectation. Besides, if you’re resting on your laurels, you’re wearing them in the wrong place.

September 25, 2009:
Heard the live, bilingual teachings of the Dalai Lama at the Long Beach Arena. Such a centered and wise old soul, yet young at heart, playful and adorably funny.
Insight: Kindness is the true way to enlightenment.


September 30, 2009:
United Way of Stanislaus County in Modesto, California, hired me to keynote their annual Womens’ Leadership Council fund-raiser Power of the Purse Luncheon, on Sparkle-Tude!® and printed custom copies of my Sparkle-Tudes!® A-Z Quotation books for attendees.
Insights: There are many worthy causes that consistently need financial and energetic support. United Way is an amazing outreach to those charities, changing lives, supporting families and touching hearts. Lend support where you can.

October 4, 2009:
Family Reading, Inc., is a non-profit organization helping families develop a positive home learning environment. Founder Seth Sherwood-Flores asked me to keynote the program, with long-time speaking colleague Marcie Shimoff, author of Happy for No Reason and the woman behind the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, held at the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, CA. In good form, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson were present for speaking and photos. (Yes, of course I posed with them! It’s not everyday you see these historic figures.)

October 27, 2009:
Only one month after seeing the Dalai Lama, and on the same stage, at the Governor’s Women’s Conference, heard Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver with Madeline Albright, Geena Davis, Katie Couric, Ashton Kucher, Alicia Keyes, Lisa Ling
Insights: There is still MUCH to be done for the womens’ voice to be heard; for women’s work to be acknowledged; and for women’s pay to equal that of her male counterparts.

Veterans Day:
Released the sixth book in my Heart Book Series, Heart of a Military Woman, co-authored with Eldonna Lewis Fernandez, celebrating all branches of our service, with 100 stories and tributes, 21 poems to those who serve our country. December 2nd, signed books with 20 famous writers of the San Diego Chapter of the Military Writer’s Society of America at the San Diego Veterans Museum and Memorial Center.

Thanksgiving Day:
Hosted two young U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton, who had only been out of boot camp three weeks, and not off base until this holiday. My parents (Dad on left, Hiram Roush, PFC Martin Abraham (NY), Mom, Beverly Roush) PFC Joseph Davis (TN),  and I enjoyed for 13 hours, 2 meals, 3 pies and Brownies, Ice Skating on the beach at the Hotel del Coronado, sightseeing on San Diego Harbor, and "Old Dogs" with Robin Williams and John Travolta (a funny movie with a family message). The experience profoundly touched each of our lives, and we still stay in touch. At the end of the evening, I signed gift copies of my new Heart of a Military Woman book for each of their mothers, and my Heart of the Holidays books for them. It brought tears to my eyes, and joy to each of our hearts.
Insights: The joy of time together is priceless. Be courageous and step out of your comfort zone – it’s worth it to meet new people.

December 4-5, 2009:
Each year Lightspeed Fine Art hosts their annual Celebrity Charity headlining big-name stars from Sci-Fi to benefit the American Cancer Society. What a thrill to have my photo taken with Jonathan Frakes "Cmd. Riker" from Star Trek: The Next Generation and his soap opera actress wife, Genie Francis.

The highlight for me this year, was meeting Eddie McClintock (and his wife Lynn) from Warehouse 13, and having dinner with Kevin Sorbo, best known as the hunk on Hercules and "Captain Dillon Hunt" on Andromeda. It was great to hang out with him again since Comic-Con this summer.

On the Home Front:

Every family has their challenges, which brings them closer together in God’s Divine plan, and my family is no different. This June, my middle brother, Steve, was diagnosed with Stage 3-4 metastatic Melanoma, skin cancer. Our family is being of the most support for him and his family, as he continues his treatment, with another spot recently discovered. Following Steve’s lead, I also got my skin checked out, and had six biopsies taken on my skin, with one coming up as pre-melanoma, and had it surgically removed this week.
Insight: We learn along with others in our lives, making notes for how to improve our own lives, and being of support for their lives also enriches our own. "We’re all in this together" and it takes "all" of us.

Looking Ahead:
There’s no time like the present to look ahead with optimism. Having a vision for our lives, setting goals for ourselves, glimpsing into "the bigger picture" and our contribution to it. Regardless of the temporary adversities in our own lives, there are others who also need hope. Regardless of our own economic struggles, there are others less fortunate than ourselves to serve. Regardless of how much we love each other, there are still more people in the world who need to feel loved. And regardless of how "bad" we think things are… Life is still good! Count your blessings. I know I do! Here’s to 2010!

Independence Day 2009

In spite of everything that is currently happening in our country, the economy, losses of loved ones, homes and jobs, we still need to pause and reflect on what we DO have in our lives! As we celebrate the Fourth of July this week, let’s do so with a patriotic spirit of gratitude and faithfulness, and celebrate a land where we can still embrace our freedoms and liberties.

The United States–as a country and as a people–have joined together through countless tragedies, depressions and battles, and bounced back each time. We shall again, and it will take our "united-ness" to do it.

We are more than a geographic location on the globe.
We are a people of sheer determination.
We are a people of amazing inner drive.
We are a people of creativity and vision.
We are a people of boundless persistence.
We are a people of great faith.
And THAT is ALL worth celebrating this Independence Day!

"God Bless the USA"

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I’d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife,
I’d thank my lucky stars
to be living here today,
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can’t take that away.
I’m proud to be an American
where at least I know I’m free,
And I won’t forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God Bless the USA.

-Lyrics by Lee Greenwood

Internationally Top-Rated Speaking Coaches
Host Speaking Skills Workshop for Women
on June 6 in San Diego

SPEAKING SKILLS FOR WOMEN

Two national speaking and performance experts are training women in business necessary skills to gain greater confidence, project composure and command respect, with a ONE DAY WORKSHOP — Saturday, June 6, in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter!

This workshop is for anyone (ages 16 and up) who uses their voice!
Speakers, trainers, coaches, consultants, voice-over talent, career women, attorneys and executives, teachers and preachers, professionals, small business owners, all stage-frightened individuals…

This workshop for women is facilitated in a supportive and nurturing environment with easy-to-do-“how-to’s” for immediate application.

Need to speak in front of groups?
Want to have greater confidence with others?
Does your voice ever crackle—or feel weak?
Time to improve your communication skills?

You will learn core skills to use immediately!
Skills including positive voice image, vocal care, handling emotions, telephone skills, running meetings, public speaking and training skills, impromptu speaking, body language, assertiveness, rapport-building interpersonal and sales tactics.

Have a deadline, a slide presentation or project that needs help?
Bring it – get coaching specific to your needs.

LEARN FROM 2 NATIONAL EXPERTS

You are lovingly instructed by experts Joni Wilson, President of SalesTalkBiz™ International, and Sheryl Roush, President of Sparkle Presentations, Inc..

You will learn how to craft, design and deliver effective, persuasive and compelling presentations. Both are small business owners in San Diego, seeing the need to serve other women in business.

Joni Wilson, a voice expert and performance coach states, “From office and world politics, to relationships and family matters, today’s woman is loudly demanding her equal ‘voice.’ Whether she is in a courtroom, a classroom, in an office or on a stage, too many women go through their entire lives frustrated and unhappy with the sound of their voices.” Ms. Wilson is the creator of the 3-Dimensional Voice® Training System, and author of several books—including Amazon’s #1 for business books (above The One-Minute Manager). Joni’s new June release of The Voice of Success: A Woman’s Guide to a Powerful and Persuasive Voice, is published by the American Management Company.

ABOUT SOUL SHINE
They say wellness is a journey.
Anyone have a map?

We and many of our friends have often wished for a road map on the journey to wellness. There isn’t one of course because like a snow flake or fingerprint, each of us is unique. We can’t promise that acupuncture is what you need or that you’ll feel better on a gluten-free diet. But we can let you know what paths exist to your destination, suggest routes that have worked for travelers before you, and connect you with the best practitioners in your area so that together you can decide what’s right for you.

We know what it’s like to spend hours at your computer researching therapies you know nothing about. We know how it feels to be desperate for answers but not know who—or what—to trust. We know from personal experience. At Soul Shine, we’ve done the research for you. We’ve personally screened all the practitioners in our network to bring you the best of the best in both traditional and non-traditional approaches to wellness. These practitioners all share the Soul Shine philosophy of a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness.

If not a map, Soul Shine is the guiding light that connects you with the knowledge, the people and the resources to achieve true physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation. We help you look at the big picture to achieve lasting and meaningful results. Most importantly, the Soul Shine staff, practitioners, and community of other like-minded individuals are here to support you on your journey every step of the way. We hope you’ll join us to discover what it is that makes your soul shine.

Chargers Fans on The Price is Right TV Game Show – Feb. 26

Chargers Fans on The Price is Right
TV Game Show – February 26


On January 13th a bus load of 43 women (and 2 men) drove from San Diego to Studio City, California for two morning tapings of the Dr. Phil Show at Paramount Studios, then over to CBS for the afternoon taping of The Price is Right at CBS Studios. Arrangements were made by Michele Dixon, The Organizing Doctor, professional organizer.

Being proud San Diego Chargers football fans, and having just won the Division Championship… and playing the Steelers in the Playoffs, it was unanimously decided our TV Game show matching “Team Shirts” would be the CHARGERS shirts.

Audience members are "interviewed" before the show by staff, for about 15-30-seconds. Since we had a busload, chances were good that one person would be “selected” to be on the show as a Contestant.

It’s so LOUD in the 350-person studio you can’t hear anything…so the stage crew hold up a sign with the next Contestant’s name on it at the time it’s announced!

Ester Berry was called as the FIRST Contestant called. Wearing her blue Chargers shirt, she did great at the bidding stand and went up on stage, and even had a chance to spin the wheel with show emcee Drew Carey.

The show went along fine… changing of the prize sets, commercial breaks, etc., then the final Contestant was called… Sheryl Roush…  seated on the TOP row in the very back! Wearing her gold Chargers shirt, she was seated in the Steelers fan section… but assertively held her own! (after all.. she proudly trains the Charger Girl cheerleaders in their speaking and interviewing skills!)

The Charger Fans show airs on Thursday, February 26th, on CBS (Channel 8, 10:00-10:30am Pacific).

Ester Berry is a Senior Recruiter of The Wellspring Group, Inc. She specializes in advanced technology searches across multiple industries for both Fortune 500 and mid-sized business sectors with the goal of matching the right people with the right job opportunities.

Sheryl Roush is an international speaker and top-rated trainer, specializing in boosting attitudes, creating positive work environments and stellar service skills. www.SparklePresentations.com

New Title in the Heart Book Series Announced!

Heart of a Military Woman| 5 Comments »

New Title in the Heart Book Series Announced!
JANUARY 6, 2009

Sparkle Press, a division of Sparkle Presentations, Inc., announced today the forthcoming title in the popular and quickly growing Heart Book Series, created only three years ago.

Heart of a Military Woman will be released before Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2009 and join the series of inspirational gift books by Sheryl Roush: Heart of a WomanHeart of a Mother,  Heart of the HolidaysHeart of a Woman in Business, and  Corazon de Mujer (Heart of a Woman in Spanish).

Eldonna Lewis-Fernandez is co-author of Heart of a Military Woman. Passionate about touching the lives of female veterans and being a retired veteran with 23 years of honorable service in the United States Air Force, Eldonna is teaching women how to take more RISK in their lives for maximum results. When she enlisted in October 1980, women made up only 8% of the military and today although more than doubled still only 20%. Professionally, Eldonna is a contract specialist in purchasing, negotiation and administration of government contracts. She is the President of Dynamic Vision International, based in Redondo Beach, California.

Personally, she’s a single mother of two, an award-winning speaker, on the board of the Women’s Peace Campaign and a certified master results coach. Even more personally, Eldonna shares her story in Heart of a Woman in Business, "I was a high school dropout who was told by my teachers and parents that I would never amount to anything. Born to two alcoholic parents, I grew up neglected and abused. The military was my saving grace and I fought hard again that ‘loser’ expectation, excelling in my military career. I became a leader, manager, and networking expert. I earned two associates and a bachelor’s degree while on active duty (and raising two children on her own) as well as the highest level of professional certification in my field."

Eldonna co-authors with Sheryl Roush, the author of the book series, a noted professional speaker, and is herself an ex-Navy wife, compassionate to those choosing a military lifestyle and grateful to their incredible dedication.

Submissions are welcome to this inspirational collection of original short stories, poems and quotations…. regarding ANY active or retired military.
