She glows : Sherrell Mims

As a nurse, motivational speaker, and spiritual guide, you could say Sherrell Mims is a triple threat. She’s equally devoted to all her pursuits, but one project, in particular, has occupied her heart and mind recently. It’s an online association called the Global Caregivers Network.

“My heart is for caregivers,” she said. “That’s my niche. That’s what I do. I’ve been doing that for 25 years and counting. So that’s the main thing that I’m doing now.” A former caregiver herself, she said it’s important to provide resources and support for this special group of people. Her intent is to spotlight caregivers and share their phenomenal stories and broaden the scope and reach globally. Currently, the group touches people living in the United States, but Mims estimates that it’ll quickly become a tool to reach people in all corners of the world. Along the same lines, she’s publishing an eBook called “5 tips to be the best caregiver” and ultimately a more exhaustive version of the manuscript that includes 30 tips. At the same time, she has set a goal to expand her public speaking engagements in 2022. “Now, since things are slowly opening back up, I want to speak at hospitals, clinics, colleges, universities and beyond,” she said. All of this to say: Sherrell is full of energy and enthusiasm yet still finds time for rest. Although her free time is at a premium between juggling all her obligations, she still finds time for self-care. “I try to get the six to eight hours of rest, no matter what,” she said. “Because you still need that as a caregiver to be refreshed, relaxed, renewed, and push that reset button to start another day.” In addition, she finds renewal in attending church services and going to concerts at the Clyde Theatre. “The ambiance is just so beautiful, and the food and people are great,” she said. “It’s a nice getaway.” Travel is another one of her hobbies, and her hope is to integrate it into her work. Soon, she plans to take up travel nursing. “This gives me a chance to meet real caregivers now,” she said. “This way, I’ll be in the trenches with them. And that’s what my whole Global Caregivers Network is all about. I know God will take care of this. I just know I was to be obedient and start the Global Caregivers Network.”
