About

I was born in Florida. I've been in the ministry for over 20 years. Studying Christian Counseling because I have a passion and desire to help others.

Chosen One Outreach Ministry has blessed thousands with daily words of encouragement for over 10 years.  My first devotional book, “Where Peaceful Waters Flow”, continues to guide those in need into a more intimate relationship with the Lord, with heartfelt words to remind them the Lord cares about them and what they’re going through.

Shearon has an anointing on her life of mercy and compassion to minister healing and deliverance to the brokenhearted.  Shearon ministers with words of hope and inspiration on her radio show, "Still Small Voice"; which is part of the RadioActive Broadcasting Network. 

I have 4 wonderful children, and 6 beautiful grandchildren. When I am not busy with the ministry or writing, I enjoy baking, experimenting on new dessert recipes, and listening to relaxing music. I love spending time with my family whenever possible, and traveling with my daughters and my niece, I think they keep me young, lol.

Description

<p><b>The absorbing, definitive account of CrossFit's origins, its explosive grassroots growth, and its emergence as a global phenomenon.</b><br /> <br />One of the most illuminating books ever on a sports subculture, <i>Learning to Breathe Fire </i>combines vivid sports writing with a thoughtful meditation on what it means to be human. In the book, veteran journalist J.C. Herz explains the science of maximum effort, why the modern gym fails an obese society, and the psychic rewards of ending up on the floor feeling as though you're about to die. <br /> <br />The story traces CrossFit’s rise, from a single underground gym in Santa Cruz to its adoption as the workout of choice for elite special forces, firefighters and cops, to its popularity as the go-to fitness routine for regular Joes and Janes. Especially riveting is Herz’s description of The CrossFit Games, which begin as an informal throw-down on a California ranch and evolve into a televised global proving ground for the fittest men and women on Earth, as well as hundreds of thousands of lesser mortals. <br /> <br />In her portrayal of the sport's star athletes, its passionate coaches and its “chief armorer,” Rogue Fitness, Herz powerfully evokes the uniqueness of a fitness culture that  cultivates primal fierceness in average people. And in the shared ordeal of an all-consuming workout, she unearths the ritual intensity that's been with us since humans invented sports, showing us how, on a deep level, we're all tribal hunters and first responders, waiting for the signal to go all-out. </p>
