Sherry is currently taking classes to get her certification for Christian Recovery Coaching.  She wants to learn all there is to know to help the many women that reach out to her through her blog and her speaking but NOT looking to start another profession.  Also to aid in helping her in writing the material for a recovery study group for women based on the fruits of the spirit.

Her biggest project right now (besides building a house and planning a wedding)  is writing her book about the very unconventional way she got sober on a bicycle. She hopes to inspires others to to take off their masks of shame and guilt and embrace a life in recovery. While sharing her personal experiences with honesty and humor, Sherry wants to help you see your true, authentic self.

She is the Executive Director of the Maranatha Christian Writers Conference which is a fall event on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan. www.marananthachristianwriters.com

Her favorite things include reading, writing, cycling, decorating, traveling, and loving on her three grandsons.  On a snowy blustery day you will find her snugged up with a homemade afghan, coffee and a good book.
