Sharla Fritz, the wife of a pastor, homeschooled her kids for fifteen years. The eldest one is married now and has a baby. Her son is in college.
In other words, Sharla has an empty nest.
What’s a 50-something woman to do?
A couple a years ago, as she peered into her future, Sharla didn’t like what she saw. Without the kids and without homeschooling, she felt a lack of significance. Her kids and homeschooling defined her days. Now with them gone, what was God’s purpose for her?
Amazingly, Sharla wrote and found a publisher for her book Divine Design, 40 Days of Spiritual Makeover. It’s due out in June.
This is NO SMALL FEAT in our crazy economy!

A little bit about me: I am a biblical counselor, speaker and writer. My three books written in the 1990s sold nearly 200,000 copies. Following in the steps of Sarai/Sarah of the Bible, I now write under Lucy Ann Moll. My previous secular books on eating healthy excluded my middle name. You can find my books on Amazon. I am now writing Beautiful Warrior, You Are Who God Says You Are. . .Even When Life Gets Ugly.
When you reach menopause, you may need some hormone replacement therapy just to stay on top shape.-,,
Im based in London have worked as a secretary for more than 10 years and have an HND in Business Studies but am tired of admin work and office politics and would like to do something more creative- change careers.. . I write in my spare time and have attended an advanced writing course for the past 3 years and am writing a novel. I would like to see if I could train to teach creative writing in further education colleges etc or and English /English literature. I would also be grateful if I could get any info on what qualifications you need to be able to teach English as a first language and Basic literacy skills and ESOL..
I have to appreciate the attempts you get in writing this write-up. This has been an inspiration in my situation. I have transferred this to a friend. thankyou
