As Sheri became organized, she discovered more time for herself, time for the family, and time alone with God. Today, based on her experiences, Sheri shares volumes of ideas that will work for you, ideas learned on her own and ideas that were taught. Women are blessed with her practical and spiritual message.            As the founder of More Hours In My Day, I feel so excited about the woman she has become. Her bubbly, humorous personality truly captivates audiences and wins friends wherever she goes. After a few hours you, too, will have a new friend as well as begin to have ‘more hours in your day.’             Both Sheri and her husband Tim, parents of two grown children, work with me in our Christian organization. Sheri has been on radio talk shows, spoken for women’s groups, MOPS, conferences, retreats and teas. She also teaches seminars for churches and organizations all over the country, giving women guidance and hope.             Sheri’s message is practical for women of all ages and all walks of life. Single moms, students, working women, and stay-at-home moms have all benefited from her message of hope and encouragement. By listening to Sheri, you too, can find more hours in your day and simplify your life.” – Emilie Barnes, Founder, MHIMD         SUGGESTED TOPICS FOR SPEAKING:   More Hours, More Fun, More Family Time C Is the answer to the cry, AThere aren=t enough hours in my day!@  Join Sheri as she helps you to discover that there really are more hours in your day if you=re organized This seminar is the updated version of the original AMore Hours In My Day@ seminars.
