Bury Me with My Pearls is a real-life, roller-coaster ride of laughter, tears, and stomach-churning truths by a Southern professional speaker, humorist, and singer who, as Miss South Carolina, represented her state in the Miss America pageant and has been singing, speaking, and writing ever since.

Bury Me with My Pearls is funny and motivational addressing the importance of how to guard the countless gifts given by our Lord and that doing the right thing is the right thing, regardless of our feelings or circumstances. This personal development book is about trusting God in all things and how he can turn our irritants into pearls.

As a speaker and author, Jane shares this with a good splash of humor.
Explore how to walk in love while pruning the family tree in an environment filled with difficult people and how God’s power is released when learning to trust Him, to embrace the lessons being taught, and to grow spiritually no matter how painful. Like the process of the pearl, so many women need to find and embrace their buried treasures.

This book focuses on the importance of women’s health and being proactive staying healthy both physically and mentally. Jane’s third book, “Bury Me with My Pearls” is an Amazon best-seller in 10 categories including # 1 in parenting/family humor, # 2 in comedy, and # 8 in women’s health. This book, dedicated to the memory of Jane’s mother, is filled with humor, life lessons and Biblical principles.”LOVED this book! Had me laughing so hard in spots I was crying!! Loved her approach to life issues. Better to approach it with finding the good in it rather than the bad. In this day and time we need more books like this! This book is a keeper!

Click here for Jane’s 2 minute video.“As l listened to you speak I welled up thinking that over the last ten years I have allowed my life to be influenced by to many negative (tomato throwing) people. It was not until I received your message of “never give up” and “everything is possible” that I realized that playing it safe with a less than satisfying job was exactly what I had done. At 51 I will start making “Ketchup and Salsa” out of tomatoes as soon as I get to work tomorrow.” Wesley H.For more information visit her web site: www.janeherlong.com and check out Jane’s funny YouTube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/janeherl
