Shellye Lyons aka Paradise's Page

I am a Mom. I have 7 beautiful children, 4 biological and 3 as a result of my marriage - but they're all my babies!

I am a Grandma, if you can believe that. My only grandson was born New Year's Eve 2008.

I am a Womanpreneur, Mompreneur, Writer, CopyEditor, Social Networking Diva. I am CEO of Paradise Legal Support & Secretarial Services (PLS3) providing specialized business support services. I chose "Paradise" based on Revelations 2:7. I am also Founder/Executive Director of the National Business Women Enterprise Network, a faith based, non-profit organization providing personal, spiritual, and professional development and support for innovative women who own or desire to establish their own business. Through networking, education, leadership, mentoring, and association with other like-minded individuals, NBWEN provides opportunities for members to maximize their potential during each phase of their entrepreneurial endeavors.

I am a Motivational Speaker! My husband refers to my character as that of "Ruth" in the Bible. The name Ruth means "Friendship" or "Refreshment." Ruth was born in Moab, but relocated with her mother-in-law Naomi to Bethlehem in Judah after the death of her husband. She was the wife and widow of Mahlon; remarried Boaz by an extension of levirate marriage; gave birth to a son, Obed, who figuratively was called the son of Naomi; was an ancestor of David and Jesus Christ. She was originally a homemaker, later a maidservant of Boaz; and finally a homemaker again. She was best known for Insisting that her mother-in-law Naomi allow her to come to Bethlehem, in order that Naomi's people, the Israelites, could become Ruth's people, and Naomi's God could become Ruth's God. Ruth is the epitomy of loyalty and encouragement... just like me!!
