Looka here! Why it's TV Sha'ren

LIVE! THE WREG TV CHANNEL 3 MORNING SHOW --MEMPHIS, TN
December 17, 2008--900a.m.

Pick up your channel changer if you live in Memphis and surrounding areas and tune in and see Sharen Rooks on Channel 3 LIVE TV show. Sharen Rooks lives locally in Memphis, and is Southern born . She is an author and business woman who will be discussing and talking about her new book, titled: "What happens when God Moves" Watch the hour show she'll be interviewed be'twit 9 a.m. and 10a.m....Sho' nough! Sha'ren that's star-rif-fic! I asked Sharen if she would like to share a few lil' words in A Little Southern News about her writing career, her book and her life experiences ...dis is what she shared wit "Yo' Little Southern Belle" ...
I have been writing since I was in grade school. I began writing out of anger from being molested by an older cousin it (writing) was a way to release stress so it became therapeutic.
What Happens When God Moves is a true inspirational about the life of a young woman who experiences many trials and tribulations over a decade of her life which include incest which results in pregnancy, death of child, brief incarceration, witnessing a shooting, almost becoming homeless, and losing her job. All these circumstances develop this young entrepreneur into very successful business-woman, motivational speaker, consultant, singer, actor and now author. This true story should inspire others to never give up and keep the faith and to walk in the direction that the Lord is leading you in at all times. The book will also minister to couples who are or have experienced rocky times in their marriage. The struggle comes before success!
The book came about through experiences and spiritual development the book was released in 2005. I was motivated to write a book after going through every ordeal imaginable in ones' lifetime. I wanted to help others to see you can come out if you keep Christ first.
This here is Sha'ren's book cover and excerpts from her new book..

Excerpts from book:
He then pulls this small pistol out of his pocket and places it on the armrest.
It took me three years to actually get over the pain of losing a child.
Hey, I didn’t KILL HIM like David did in the Bible okay, however, I killed him emotionally and spiritually.
Retails for about $15.50

Nine more days of The Nutcracker should keep you pretty well entertained. This is the 7th year of George Balanchine’s The Nut Cracker. So I bleeve they should have them steps down without a “Sickling” that’s a ballet term used in fault of the feet! You see Yo Southern Belle did her homework this thime! It’s all so you will know a “Soutenu tournant” (sew-ten-nhu tor naht) when you sees one. Why that’s a ballet dance move having to do when the dancer must first execute a demi plié while extending the leading leg in a tendu position and then stepping up on a tight leg and beginning the turn while simultaneously bringing the other leg up to a raised position while finishing a full 360 degree turn.
Did ya’ll catch all that? Ummm huh!
I just bet y'all did..

A "Soutenu tournant" looks kinda like dis’


Rickey's J. first try he looks kinda like dis’

"He’s new at it, giv him a lil thime an …lots mo pratice."
If you is planning on staying the whole 9 days, you might as well know a little bout balleying it.
Go, dance, smile, and wonder about such the beauty in fine dancing. "Why thar is many black folk don’t even know nougtin ‘bout the fine art of balley. Makes me a little worried, I’m gon have to have that long talk wit you really sooner that I thought."
Now let’s sash 'shae….ourselves back to Memphis… I don’t think "sash shae " is a balley term, and after all, I only kno a little bit of stuff! This is as I remind you is “A Little Southern News”…..“Hay!….don’t drag yo’ foots…..I don’t wanna slap the taste in yo’ mouth! Naw! I’ wouldn't do dat…I’m just poking fun at ya!” Really, I was only shuckin!...Ahh?,,,
I hear a choir sangin….
Look ya’ll it me performing with in a church program…

HOLIDAY MUSICAL--MEMPHIS, TN
December 13, 2008
5:00 p.m.
Greater Lakeview Missionary Baptist Church
191 East Holmes Rd. Memphis, TN 38109
Admission: Free to all!

I’ve been asked to come and perform some WINNIESPOETRY™ © right there with the other fine Christians folk. Christmas and religious music, poetry, and fellowship. It’s my very first time visiting them so I hope to give it my best speaking voice. The theme for their program is: “My Soul Does Magnify the Lord.” That’s already pretty! Put on you ballet shoes if you want, and "lil gurls" can wear they balley dresses. I’ll be in dressed in bridal attire…Hope some of you Memphians can come on down, the price is right!
Right now…I gotta go. This version of the days went by so fast. I show hope you’ll come back to read me again. Till next thime this has been “Yo’ Little Southern Belle, MIISRAEL with “A Little Southern News” If you found some typo's in this lil' edition it's meant to be like that!…No offense meant to anybody!
“I’ll be back in ‘bout a week, till then you be sweet.”

HERE'S YO' TIP!
It is often fitting and proper for a Gent to suggest the offer of a dance to a Lady. Dancing is also known in many cultures as a gesture of admiration for a lady.
Anint that
ROW-MAN-TIC!…..
Awwww...
...five..six…seven….ate…nine…tin?…
"I can't count,
Dec. 12th-21st is only 10 days not 12!
