Press Release

Cheryl Major’s old friend Kathy Nolan, who interviewed her years ago about an animal rights bill was testifying about at the Statehouse, and she came out to Cheryl’s new house to interview her again. She came to find out how Cheryl managed to manifest her dream of a simple room that is her magical place and so much more.

She calls the simple room her “Cheryl Room”, and it has space for all the things, simple and natural, that make Cheryl’s heart sing. Space that allows her to create courses and write books that change lives and give people hope.

Kathy asked Cheryl to share the different areas of the room and the heart-felt needs they fulfill. Cheryl pointed out the inside wall where the plant stand her mother had a craftsman build many years ago showcases beautiful African Violets, some of which her mother hybridized. There’s a craft section that has Cheryl’s spinning wheel and room for other handwork. The far wall is the studio area with a green screen, a work area complete with a standing desk where Cheryl records her courses and edits her videos for her health and wellness courses. She also edits her pet project videos here for her YouTube channel “Lambie Central” which features her six rescue sheep.

Just the mention of Lambie Central makes Cheryl break out into a broad smile. She shows Kathy the view out of the large window that looks out over a verdant pasture with six sheep happily grazing to the left of the barn where her sheep live a safe, contented life. “They would have gone for meat and never lived to grow up”, Cheryl explained. My friend, Laureen, rescued more sheep one spring a couple of years ago than she could keep. I’ve personally kept sheep for more than twenty years, but had recently lost all of them to old age and illness. It was a perfect time for me to give these beautiful souls a safe, loving forever home!

Cheryl introduced Kathy to the older dog she adopted and brought home to live with her and her husband. Cheryl explained one dream had always been to rescue older dogs who are no longer wanted and are surrendered to shelters in their elder years. She saw this happen too many times when she was a volunteer at a local shelter for more than twenty-five years. “Some people want puppies; I want the elderly ones,” Cheryl explained. “They have such dignity and kindness in them; they deserve to live their latter years with love and respect.”

Kathy asked Cheryl what it was that made her dreams come true, and Cheryl explained it was simple once she understood the power she had that she had never tapped. She always felt she was powerful, but never could figure out how to get “from here to there”. She’s wanted to help others with their health and wellness, but needed to get her own head straight and rewrite her personal story before she could do that effectively.

Cheryl told me about all the courses and information she’s created over the past ten years and about how she finally felt ready to really put this information out in the world, reach more people and make a difference in so many lives. She decided to put everything she had learned that had turned her own mental health around after living with depression since she was twelve years old into the courses and information she creates.

Doing this has given her a huge increase in earnings. She now enjoys a half million dollars of income a year, and that is continuing to grow.

Cheryl writes books and creates courses to help people learn to eat to be healthy, both mentally and physically. She also writes books for young children about her sheep called her “BluGirl Series”. They are designed to teach the love of animals to children as well as to impart confidence to kids with Blu’s positive and successful experiences.

The books are named after one of Cheryl’s rescued lambs, BluGirl and the adventures Blu has, both real and imaginary. Cheryl refers to BluGirl as “star of stage, screen and library books…”.
