Hello Everyone!
My name is Sherry and I am 35 years old, married with three children. I am the Operations Director for a small construction company. I have worked for said company for seventeen years, fresh outta High School. Talk about starting on the bottom floor and working your way to the corner office. On top of that I am working on my bachelor’s degree in Psychology aaaannd a soccer mom. If you think that’s a lot, there are many other things sprinkled in, like cutting my husbands hair, playing on a kickball team, running a 5k every month.
My personal favorite hobby is helping people overcome shit. What kind of shit you might ask. Their own bullshit, I help them get out of their head and see the positive side. I know, I know, you’ve probably heard this before, but hear me out. Everyone has a different voice, a different way of explaining things. Seriously, I beat on my sister’s wall for YEARS until she finally caught a glimpse of the light I had been waving like a crazy person. It is amazing to see her transformation.
Guess what, I haven’t always been Mrs. Positive pants, my nickname use to be Eeyore. I use to be so negative, just go look at my Facebook posts before 2011. I cringe every time I have a Facebook memory from that time in my life. EVERYTHING was something negative. “Worked Sucked AGAIN”, “My car is a piece of shit”, “The AC in my house broke”, “my kids are being terrorists”, “I’m Broke”, “I have a headache”. Holy Crap you guys, it seemed that EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I would post something like that. It is no wonder that my life felt like it was going to hell in a handbag.
What happened? Some Angel, okay… it was my cousin Aaron, told me about the “Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. Aaron didn’t force me to read the book, loan me a copy or even tell me much about it. All he said was something along the lines of “Sherry you should really check out the book the Secret, it will change your life.” Sure as hell it did. That weekend I went to the library and found a copy of that book. I read the entire book in one day (it’s an easy read) and it opened my eyes to the way I had been living. Once I read the book I would notice when I was being negative and try to be thankful instead. It was hard, so incredibly hard and it still is, but that is the human mind, that is how most of us are wired and I want to help you fix that.
Since my brother David died in 2006, I’ve felt like I was meant to help people. Right after his death I thought I was supposed to be an EMT or a nurse because I wanted to save people, because I wasn’t able to save David. I’ve been praying for and meditating about what my life’s purpose is, and this is what has been placed on my heart. In my daily life I try to help everyone I come in contact with, but I want to reach more people. Help anyone who is in need of an awaking, anyone who blames others, anyone who is stuck in a negative cycle.
This is it, this is my way of pouring out my knowledge and my research. In my blogs I will share books, articles, music, movies and personal stories, things that have helped me get where I am today. I have been through some crap and I’m still standing; I’m still putting one foot in front of the other and I want to help you do the same. I will share some of my struggles and excuses but also my goals and perseverance. I hope I am able to help you with whatever you are struggling with.
Please feel free to reach out with questions or just to say hello.
