Sharon's educational background includes B.A. and M.S. degrees in art (emphasis--crafts and sculpture) with minors in business education and industrial arts education. For fifteen years she produced fiber sculptures, weavings, and jewelry on commission, and was also given the opportunity to combine her art and business skills as Program Manager of the University of California, Davis Craft Center for five years. Sharon and her family then moved to South Texas in January 1977. As life always has its twists and turns, she entered an entirely new field of vocation. Today, Sharon is a life skills consultant, belief therapy counselor, and writer. Her life skills service, Home & Harvest, gives counsel and practical guidance for clients traveling their own journey of discovery and transformation. Sharon offers guidance and referrals for a variety of life skill issues, such as family focus, time management, money management, record keeping, family health care, meals, recreation/entertainment. Her longing and prayer are that the experiences of her life become "a door of hope" for others. In addition, Sharon’s greatest joy is to see lives and families restored, and that each of us will walk in the integrity and purpose for which we were designed.view less
