I'm a Published Author! WooHoo!!!

 

Happy Thanksgiving Week & My Book is Out! So delighted to announce that my memoir is now available on Amazon!!! You can find it here under Books! I was feeling impatient and frustrated that it wasn't on Amazon after loading it in November 11th. I find out a day ago that a friend already had the book and was more than halfway through it. LOL! You have to go to Books and type in the title or my name and it will come up. If you do decide to read it, please let me know how it affected you. Reviews on Amazon are also welcomed! As a warning to those who are uncomfortable with sexually explicit details; this memoire has many such passages as I made my way through my sexual and spiritual healing in the last 16 years. I offer my life story as a way to help others love and embrace themselves, as I have learned to do with the help of many friends and teachers. I hope you enjoy the ride as I share my many ups and downs on my journey to a more open, loving and self-embracing heart. Here's how the book begins: Becoming Naked The Take Off “I don’t love you anymore,” he said. My world crashed down. This large aging body sank into despair and depression, and then grace took over. I am so grateful! Hour after hour the sky held us in her arms. The scream of the engines wailed and droned as we plunged onward towards New Zealand, my week’s stopover in Maui only a sweet memory now. I bounced between anxious excitement and restless frustration as the 9-hour pilgrimage whined on. My first 7-day spiritual retreat lay ahead. The unknown awaited. At long last we started our descent into Auckland, arriving safely at our gate. Slowly I dragged myself up out of the less than roomy first-class seat. Stiff and sore, I stumbled to retrieve my carry on and edged to the door. My first steps on New Zealand soil awaited and my eager feet longed to touch ground again, any ground, really! ~ o ~ Come See Me at My First Book Signing December 21st-22nd! I'm delighted to be selling and signing books at Patti Hawse's Winter Solstice Celebration December 21st and 22nd at the Holiday Inn in Timonium, 9615 Deerco Road. The event opens at 10am and runs until after 8pm. Check details here. I'll also be doing a few readings from my book at my table and offer a brief All Love talk and Shenu Meditation in a separate space. Schedules will be up soon. I'd love to see you there! I hope you are enjoying the Holiday season and have much to be grateful for! I always love to hear from you, so drop me a note if you have time and let me know how your life is unfolding. Sending Much Love and Many Thanksgiving Blessings to You! Sherry Sherry Tuegel www.body-beloved.com 410-598-1010 ©2024 Body Beloved | sherrytuegel@verizon.net

November 2024 Newsletter

 

Happy November, Beloveds! I know many of us are grieving after November 5th. My heart goes out to all of us as we adjust to our disappointment and struggle with our fears. I pray that regardless of the election results, we will grow and thrive in the coming 4 years. Right now take time to allow your feelings in a safe space and remember to breathe into the present moment. I'm very good at worrying about what will happen and making up disastrous scenarios in my head. Mark Twain said " I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened." Taking in the present moment seems a better idea as we commit to kindness and compassion for all. May we find ways to love and serve each other one moment at a time. Sending many blessings to All! Comforting Words If you need them, here are some comforting words I found on Facebook: “It’s when the earth shakes And foundations crumble That our light is called To rise up. It’s when everything falls away And shakes us to the core And awakens all Of our hidden ghosts That we dig deeper to find Once inaccessible strength. It’s in times when division is fierce That we must reach for each other And hold each other much Much tighter. Do not fall away now. This is the time to rise. Your light is being summoned. Your integrity is being tested That it may stand more tall. Rise, and find the strength in your heart. Rise, and find the strength in each other Burn through your devastation, Make it your fuel. Bring forth your light. Now is not the time To be afraid of the dark.” — Chelan Harkin On A Good Note By the middle or end of this month my book and ebook will be ready for purchase on Amazon! Here I am with my Proof Copy that arrived November 6th. I found only 3 or 4 minor tweaks to fix and then it's good to go! My ebook needs a few more adjustments. It's in the Kindle store but please wait to purchase it so all the 'bugs' are corrected. I'm working with Melvyn Paulino from Fivver.com and he has done a wonderful job with the book and cover design! I highly recommend him if you're looking for someone with those skills! I started writing this memoir in 2010. It's been a long gestation and birthing process for sure! I'll be selling and signing books at Patti Hawse's Winter Solstice Celebration on December 21st and 22nd at the Holiday Inn, 9615 Deerco Road in Timonium, MD. Please come by and see me and the other wonderful and gifted vendors! I hope to have a link to the book here next month! Fingers crossed! Wink! Wink! Upcoming Classes and Events I'm offering heart opening All Love Zooms on Thursdays, November 21st and December 19th from 8pm to 10pm. Email me at sherrytuegel@verizon.net for the link. The fee is $20 and can paid with Zelle or PayPal at the same email address. In December I will offer another in-person All Love class on Saturday December 7th from 2pm to 5pm.

As I mentioned above, I'm excited to be signing books at the Winter Solstice Celebration put on by Patti Hawse, December 21st and 22nd at the Holiday Inn in Timonium. I believe it opens at 10am.
