Sharelynne Phillips is a single mother of two wonderful children. She currently lives in York Region, Ontario, Canada on her own with her girls (kitties) for the first time in her life.

"Writing this book was very therapeutic", she states proudly . Her autobiography and children’s books are all based on personal experiences too.

Sharelynne studied at York University in Psychology and French. She has previously held positions as an Instructional Aide, a mediator for Special Needs Babes, a Bilingual Customer Service Representative in both office and retail store environments.



From October 2004 to March 2007 she completed many courses, classes, and workshops to “undo the damage”:

Through the York Region Women’s Centre, Sharelynne has taken many certificate workshops such as healthy boundaries, healthy relationships, managing conflict and self-empowerment. She completed Enterprising Women, a business course for women entrepreneurs. Through the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic she completed a series of two Art Therapy courses. The second was “An Expressive Art Project for Women” who had been a victim of abuse. This involved planning for and being included in an art show where she displayed her totem which represented her healing journey.

Sharelynne volunteered as a tutor at the Community-Based Literacy Coalition. She was a member, then Co-Facilitator, and then Facilitator for the local Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Wellness Support Group. She was diagnosed with both in 2004.

Sharelynne has taught Korean students and adult women English to assist them in improving their communication skills.

Sharelynne completed the Adult Psychology Diploma Course with highest honours through ICS Canada.
She is currently taking the ICS Child Psychology Diploma Course.

This book was featured in the OmniTV prize vault from March 24 until April 4, 2008.

All the photographs featured on the site were taken by Sharelynne. Photography along with her writing has also been something creative Sharelynne has always enjoyed.

Sharelynne Phillips is highly experienced in Life lessons

Sharelynne Phillips wrote her autobiography to teach others about choices, self-respect, and self-esteem based on her experiences.

Sharelynne Phillips grew up in a “normally dysfunctional alcoholic home”. This gave her a diverse perspective into behaviour. She has enjoyed her journey of personal growth-psychologically, emotionally and spiritually.

Sharelynne Phillips conducts workshops and talks on a variety of topics and subjects to many different community groups to share her knowledge and experience with others. Topics such as self-empowerment, confidence, bullying, choices. Just to name a few. The talks are VERY powerful and uplifting and very educational.

Sharelynne stated more than once throughout her autobiography that, “This is a learning from my mistakes book”!

There is much concern throughout the adult/parent population regarding their feeling powerless in protecting their children, or children in general from sexual predators, bullying, and the fear of many such similar scenarios. For Sharelynne, knowledge is power; by speaking from her own experience, she hopes to empower others about these concerns and other such very dysfunctional personality-types.

Growing up in a “normally dysfunctional alcoholic home”, Sharelynne comes from a place of truly knowing what this encompasses. What this means is she understands how making bad choices in life, specifically in partners, has affected her and her children.

Sharelynne starts the book by saying, “It is my hope you will learn from my experiences and lessons and understand how easy it is for someone with such great potential, ambition and promise could end up making such bad choices. Perhaps with better support and examples or role models, things could have been different”.

Best Selling Author and Public Speaker Alan Cohen gives Sharelynne permission, "with his blessings", to dedicate an entire chapter to the many "u-huh moments" she had while reading his best seller “The Dragon Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.” “It is the perfect ending to my book”, Sharelynne says.

An excerpt taken from this chapter, on page 223 states, “Words may point the way to Truth, but actions demonstrate it. Live in accordance with the highest awareness of the Truth that you know. There is no greater purpose in life than this one.” For Sharelynne this means talk is cheap. She focuses on the premise of “Show me don’t tell me”. Live knowing you are not a gossip and have not made up stories. This type of behaviour is not rewarded. It only comes back at you, and not in a positive way.

Since leaving the pedophile in October of 2003, Sharelynne has worked very hard to undo the damage caused by the need she felt to make the many dysfunctional choices that previously plagued her life. She is proud to say she is new and improved and “walks her talk” with pride and honour.

“Thank you for reading this and I hope you enjoy the entire book,” says Sharelynne Phillips

Hello my name is Sharelynne Phillips and the name of my company is Straight Talk about Life. I am an author and public speaker.

Based on what I have learned and healed from I now consider myself an expert in life lessons. I am new and improved because I have spent the last few years healing from an extremely dysfunctional relationship, and a past of poor choices in partners mainly and "a normally dysfunctional alcoholic" background.

I will be working with different community groups to give talks about Choices, sharing what I have learned in a series of talks. I recognize that some groups and organizations will not be able to access my knowledge because of lack of funding.

Therefore, I am approaching businesses who are interested and asking for sponsorship support. My goal is to raise sufficient funding so I can offer my talks without the agencies being concerned about my fee. My fee for most talks is $275.00 per session, which normally lasts at least one hour, followed by a very lively and honest question and answer session.

As my thank you for your generous support for this worthy cause I will, of course, be happy to include your company information in the advertising and promotion of the talks. I would also be available for a book signing should that be of interest, for you. I have outlined the various levels of sponsorship below.

Thank you in advance for your support of this very important educational community program. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Sharelynne Phillips
