Man Book

A man who bought my book at the Costco book signing sent me an email. He thanked me for talking him into buying the book. He said he loved it but was wondering if I would write two chapters especially to men in the next book.

My publishers asked me if I could write my next book entirely to men and I said, "Yes."

Reunion

We had a family reunion yesterday in Salt Lake.

The minute we got there everyone wanted to ask me about my book.

Luckily I had e few in the trunk. They had me sign books then we got back to visiting. What a wonderful bunch of people.

We decided to have the next reunion in Helper. That way Gerald and I won't get lost.

Three Divorces

I was talking to a client yesterday and she told me sadly that her sister was getting a divorce.
I said, "get my book and have her read it, she will understand that it won't make her any happier."
She had told me earlier that all three of her sisters had divorced their first husbands because they wouldn't do anything around the house, and they felt like slaves.
How I wish my message was already out.
Men aren't jerks, they are just misinformed. This type of a problem can be changed.

Something Wrong

I haven't been able to post blogs since June 12. Some how it goes straight to drafts which don't show up.
Very frustrating.

Had My Launch Party

I had my book launch party June 25. It was an amazing success. I went to work monday and my phone rang off the wall.

Everybody loved the book and I heard comments like; "Now I understand why my husband acts the way he does." and "It's a life changing book." I even had a lady who said, "I don't hate my husband any more after I read your book."

I have been getting fantastic feed back.

A Little About Me....

My name is Sherri Mills, and I have enjoyed a forty-year career as a hairdresser, but I consider myself what Dr. Lewis E. Losoncy calls a "Psy-cosmetologist." He teaches people in my line of work that we don't just change peoples hair, but by listening to their problems and responidng intelligently, we change their lives.

After reading Dr. Losoncy's book, I downsized my busy four operator salon to a one operator where clients could have their privacy. I discovered right away that people tell their hairdressers evreything.

As my clients began to ask me for advice on their marriages and divorces, I felt obligated to really help, so I started reading on the subjects of relationships, personal growth, and communication. More often than not, my clients, after paying for their hair, have asked me, "Now, what do I owe you for my counseling session?"

Our Story...

(I Almost Divorced my Husband, but I Went on Strike Instead) tells the true story of the ten years I suffered the doing-it-all syndrome as a full time wife, mother and breadwinner. I tried so many schemes, but none of them made an impression on this relaxed, carefree male chauvinist who – without being aware of it – I had inadvertently helped to create. To avoid divorce, I went on a domestic strike against my husband and children. The two week strike was the hardest thing I have ever done but it changed my life ‘to this day’. The Salt Lake Tribune featured us on the front page of their ‘family’ section and local women told me their husband’s were helping just because my strike was in the public eye. This is a 45,000 word self-help book with an attitude and very friendly to the men in our lives.

It teaches specific strategies and techniques for changing the situation from that of ‘help’ to ‘shared responsibility’.

The excruciating pain I witnessed from divorces that didn’t have to happen is ultimately what compelled me to write this book. I spent an enormous amount of time researching in other areas, what I found to be true in this small area and I couldn’t let it go.

Books on the disparity between husbands and wives fill the book shelves. Most of them suggest ways to get husbands to help. While others come with a little information and chore lists, several focus on how men just don’t know what to do to help. However there is no other resource besides my book that covers all of the above and specifically pulls together information that answers the questions; How did we get to this place, Why is it so difficult to get husbands to pull their weight, and is it possible we have been doing it all wrong by blaming our men? Answers to these and more questions are detailed in the body of the book as are countless tips on keeping ones marriage together for the sake of the children.

Self-help books usually have good information but at times are boring to read. The reader is in for a treat because ‘I Almost Divorced My Husband,’ contains countless, funny, interesting true stories to press a point, (I have gone to great strides to make certain everyone’s identities are completely hidden.)
