    Are you feeling OVERWHELMED? Has the new year begun but you just can’t seem to get it together? Are you tired of EVERYONE pulling for your attention? Do you want to stop the juggling act, but just can’t seem to figure out how? Does the mere thought of all that you have to do today, exhaust your brain cells? Are you a hairpin away from telling EVERYONE, "SHUT UP" and “LEAVE ME ALONE”?
     
    IF you answered YES to ANY of these questions, help is just a click away… Visit my website @ www.shevelleford.org to see what others are saying about I'M NOT GOD, I'M JUST A WOMAN...LIFE CHANGING!!!!

    Wearing many hats is not easy! Having to be wife, mother, sister, confidant, friend, teacher, nurse, cheerleader, errand-girl, and whomever or whatever our loved ones need us to be can be quite overwhelming. How do we keep our sanity?

    I’m Not God, I’m Just a Woman, is a must read for both men and women alike.  This book is by far NOT your typical self-help book. It was inspired by the Holy Spirit to help every woman recognize that she is not God; therefore, she cannot be everything to everyone at the same time. Combining practical everyday life scenarios with a twist of entertainment and drama that will keep the reader seated between its pages.  Loops of laughter, turns of tears, and elevations of enlightenment will even peak the curiosity of the non-reader.  The primary focus of this book is to help women prioritize their lives, so that in the midst of everyone pulling for our attention, we can still manage to keep it all together! Visit my website for an excerpt or to place an order @ www.shevelleford.org. SHIPPING IS FREE!!!!!!

    Hello. I thank you for accepting my friendship. This site is so fun. I love being able to connect with "like-minded" people. I understand you are currently reading some good books. What are your thoughts on Taffi Dollar's latest book? Terry Mcmillian is offering excerpts on her new book in Essence Magazine. You will find them in issues of June through August, so far they are good. You will learn about the directions of the characters.
    Well, take care and I will be in contact.

    Hello, Savvylady. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view, a little controversial at times, but you will see him as never before. It’s a story that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. Have you ever wondered what is was like to live in those times? What part did women play in his ministry? Was he the first feminist? Were the miracles real? Why did Judas betray the Master? How does the gospel of Jesus compare to the gospel according to Peter and Paul? This is a “must read” for those on a true spiritual quest. You can read reviews at Amazon.com. I’m including a link to copy and paste. Let me know what you think.

    In a moment of pique and frustration Virginia wrote an open letter to Oprah, and shared it with a few writer friends who are going through the same thing we are. Now the letter has started to go viral--getting a lot of repostings and inclusions in blogs, newsletters and on Facebook, so in case you hadn't seen it, we wanted to share our plight, the plight of many black authors with you, readers who have supported us all these years. http://twomindsfull.blogspot.com.

    In reality Oprah is just a metaphor--a name that might get this subject the attention it deserves. Because when you have a publication like Library Journal listing their 31 Best Books of 2009 http://ow.ly/HDU7 and the "genre" fiction list includes Street Lit --8 books but no category for contemporary African American writers, we are really in trouble.

    We are trying to encourage diversity in reading--we believe books should be windows, not just mirrors...

    Make Merry....

    "Better your anger and fears flow like ink from a pen onto the page, or paint onto a canvas, than blood on the sidewalk. Better your blows strike the faces of drums or cords of melody, than the faces and backs of women and children!"
