Sheila Schmidt has been inspiring men, women and
children on issues of faith, hope and healing since she was a
teenager. After helping to start a Campus Crusade for Christ
Bible club in her high school Sheila moved in the middle of her
senior year with her family and seized this opportunity to start
a first ever, bible club at the high school of her new hometown
in Florida where she met her husband.
In 1992 Sheila's life changed forever. In her
10th year of marriage, Sheila’s house burned. Four months
later her business burned and five months later her first husband
died. Soon thereafter and as a young, single widow with two children,
Sheila moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend Rhema Bible Training
Center where she met her second husband Jim
Schmidt.
Over the years Sheila has spoken at numerous
workshops and conferences for corporations, civic clubs, schools,
and churches including the American Lung Association, the Put
On Your Armor Foundation and the Hawaii Increase
Event with Bob Harrison. Sheila speaks on topics like Turn
Your Pain into Gain, Who Told You That? and How
to Live Debt Free.
Sheila is Critical
Incident Stress Management, (CISM) certified. She co-developed
the I Cried
Too™ grief recovery project and serves as the national
chairperson for this non-profit organization. I
Cried Too™ was chosen by the Pentagon as the official
bereavement project of 9-11 and subsequently provides a bereavement
packet for surviving children of the U.S.military casualties
related to the War in Iraq. Sheila and
her husband, Jim, along with their children were the Masters
of Ceremonies for the Twin Towers Orphan Fund and the Toys
for Tots Christmas event in New York City for the children
who lost a mom or dad on 9-11.
In addition to her time as a speaker and “grief
coach”, Sheila is a web designer and editor serving such
clients as Lorrie Medford of Life
Design Nutrition, and Turkeys
To The Rescue.
Sheila and her husband Jim, aka: “Armadillo
Jim,” just released a new resource, under their Golden
Faith Publishing titled: Helping
Public Schools…Bridging the Gap. The book is a community
outreach tool for any church or civic organization.
Sheila's greatest love is being a wife and mother
to her three children, Blake, Fiona and Sofia.
She believes that a woman creates the atmosphere in a home.
