Inspiration. Possibilities. Faith.
These 3 words are the cornerstone of Sheryl Messina’s writing. Her passion is to influence her readers to truly believe that all things are possible through faith.
In her first published book, Sheryl describes her confusing and terrifying period following her father’s death. She pushes the reader through her terrifying dreams to bring them to the surprise of her life when God “shows up,” proving He heard her prayers. That event not only left her elated, but compelled her to spread her message that there is a greater power among us and if we believe and seek it, there’s no telling what amazing things can happen!
Sheryl grew up the oldest of three siblings in Port Chester, New York, a town with a strong sense of community and pride. Her father owned a bakery and butcher shop and her mother went back to work as a school administrator after the children finished grade school. She was raised Roman Catholic, but attended public school, and always longed for more substantial faith teaching than was provided during Sunday Mass and the Tuesday afternoon CCD classes. She found this extraordinary, contemporary teaching at CenterPoint Church, a Christian non-denominational church on Long Island, New York, where she now lives with her three daughters, Kristen, Alison, and Danielle.
Sheryl graduated with a B.B.A. in Public Accounting and spent more than 20 years in Corporate Finance, but always had a desire to write. Now, at a time in her life when her daughters are grown, and she recently survived the break-up of her twenty-two year marriage, which she describes as an extremely devastating and debilitating experience, she realizes that life can change quickly and goes by at lightning speed, and therefore, we all need to start acting on that “someday” bucket list or we’ll regret it when it’s too late!
