Sheila Johnson on her memoir "Walk Through Fire"

[@shivaneepatell]

The Salamander Resort is what brings my wife & I into town each month. It's truly Middleburg's living room! Much love to you Ms. Sheila Johnson!

[@LittleTut]

Yes, I've seen another report on Sheila Johnson and her resort property in Virginia. It's so beautiful. 🙂

[@Stephtheencourager]

She EXUDES class! I’ve always admired her! Blessings to her.

[@glnnchrstphr9717]

Stories like this are why I watch CBS Sunday Morning.

[@tiboregoldberger6817]

And that's why I don't watch to see all of God's millionaires and billionaires Network television Olegars millionaires billionaires who absolutely 💩💩 on the homeless working-class

[@rosestephen6789]

LOVE CBs Sunday

[@dijonrolle1846]

Beautiful story and so happy for her.

[@cherylrleigh1912]

What an exceptional woman! I eagerly anticipate her memoir. Ms. Johnson's portrayal of the salamander serves as a brilliant testament to the power of resilience.

[@kittykat1124]

I have got to read her book🎉

[@jatedmond3639]

I have just finished the book. I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely love this woman. God has given her all that she will ever need, in spite of the anguish and heartbreak she endured. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️

[@cbrb6594]

Did she put wrote in the book she married the judge who grant the divorce?

[@CharlesMcKinneyIV]

He prepares a table before me in front of my enemies! (even though the coward didn't show up)@@cbrb6594

[@dmotta2811]

I watched this story on cbs Sunday morning today. I loved it. I’m definitely going to go get the book. What a beautiful place she has.

[@toomuch5488]

She is awesome. So glad she found her true love.

[@thekeith-donovanexperience]

Can’t wait to read, she has an amazing story.

[@muhammad17115]

The book should be a movie 🥲✌️🇺🇲

[@peggygibbons479]

THANK YOU for bringing Nancy Giles in to do a story!! I adore her! She is The Real Deal and I love her so much!!

[@nedrawilliams6657]

" I just decided to buy the building"😂😂😂 i love it!

[@glnnchrstphr9717]

Many of us "walk through fire" to go through life. For most of us, it's a gift and a learning experience that makes us stronger and better people.

[@divalocity]

I just pre-ordered her book and can't wait to read it! She is an inspiration to me.

[@scuttlemabob]

My daughter and I love Salamander. She loves the equestrian center and the beautiful horses. It’s our annual back to school staycation retreat after a busy summer of camps, events and holiday activities. She is as lovely in person. Beautiful story!

[@eLLBdotmusic]

I cannot wait for the audio book. I must hear her story in her own voice! Thank God the judge listened to his mother!

[@andreaduren]

I’m enthralled by her amazing story and want to see more. This would be a beautiful movie. Her story makes me so proud. 🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽

[@styledtothetop3579]

Wish this was longer. Reading Shelia’s book. She’s been on my vision board for almost 10 yrs. The only thing I haven’t manifested from that board. I dream of meeting her at the Market Salamander one morning!!!

[@tawandahaulcy8700]

I"m in tears. Thank you for blessing us with this book. I'm going to get it right away. I know God is using you to help so many people.

[@MemphisShun901]

I am in TEARS. This just filled my cup. I was on empty.. This was inspirational and beautiful! I could watch this 1000xs I mean that..

[@itsonlyme303]

I am glad she found love 😊

[@NJInColor]

Sheila Johnson is such an inspiration! The Salamander Resort is absolutely breathtaking, can’t wait to go back!!!

[@LittleTut]

Sheila Johnson. What a beautiful woman inside and out. I live very close to the then BET Studios in NE DC and remember BET, videos, etc. back in the day. I definitely have to buy her new memoir. And the story about the judge, long ago friend and eventual marriage to Sheila Johnson, is so beautiful. Great reporting also! 🙂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

Fabulous story and thank you Nancy Giles for taking one for the journalistic team to go to the source 💪🏽💕

[@sandram8761]

This was one of the loveliest SM pieces I've seen so far. Would love to see more.

[@SamSung-ww3rp]

This was a brilliant piece!!!😊

[@angelp.5224]

❤ what a great interview and inspiring lady!!

[@rosestephen6789]

I haven't been excited about a book in a long time. Hitting the book store this weekend. ❤

[@SamSung-ww3rp]

Women, a lot of the time they quietly exist under the immense wait of life never realizing how strong they are in most situations.

[@marytheresejacksonlutz2533]

My mother was one of those women. She was a living saint

[@livinginrichmondvawithcherese]

Such an inspiration! I can't wait to read the book and meet her at Salamander. (Putting that out in the universe!!)

[@ladyindaroom]

It’s already happened. Just a matter of time catching up 🙏🏿

[@dovetales3]

I love Her. This story touched my heart. Thank you for sharing Her story. May Ms. Shelia New-Woman be continually blessed. 🥰🥰

[@juliej5917]

What an accomplished and lovely woman!!

[@gwenmorris113]

What a beautiful testimony of God's goodness and grace in the form of His strength and resilience as the salamander. I was blessed to stay at the Salamander Hotel in Washington, DC for my birthday this past May (in which I was excited to stay because of her) and I always wanted to know why she named her properties "Salamander," now I know and I'm so proud of her definition. It truly describes my own life journey. Thank you Ms. Johnson (Williams) for being such a woman of great dignity, class, wisdom, grace and brilliance ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MissT813]

Loved this story!❤

[@Itzsheila3087]

Inspiring indeed, love it, thank you from one Sheila to another🥳❤

[@maturewoman81]

I’m inspired. I can’t wait to read/listen to her memoir. 🥰

[@seebizz4583]

I am inspired from watching this interview on CBS today! I now know the Powerful Story and back drop of this Author…Her New Book… Walking Through Fire…🔥! I can definitely relate 💯 percent! What an incredible list of achievements… most importantly…Sharing her amazing story to give everyone great encouragement to stay FOCUSED and HOPEFUL! Very impressive Professional!!!

[@elainesmith7512]

May God continue to BLESS her! She's earned everything she has the hard way. Btw, I can't believe someone was so obtuse that they thought her life had been a smooth, trouble-free journey, now and in the past, because she was VERY wealthy! Haven't they paid attention to the drug abuse and suicides among the wealthy, beautiful an famous?😲😲❤❤🙏🙏

[@royaldiadem762]

The book narrated by her on audio is amazing!

[@wendibrown8317]

Thank you Sheila for BEING GREAT ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@Ittakesavillage111]

She has really strong character attributes, I look up to her.

[@SKY77713]

Amazingly touching. I have always admired Sheila Johnson and see her as a mentor. What a beautiful spirit of perseverance! This is meaningful on so many levels.

[@DebbieBrinkley]

I began reading this book this morning. I’ve read 100 pages already. I can relate to so many of the comments she made about not fitting in. God chose a different way for us. Because we’re set apart. Many are called and few are chosen. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤

[@kckgirl78]

MY favorite is when Ms. Johnson bought the building that housed the gun shop! I would’ve loved to see the face of the gun shop owner when he learned that a Black woman was putting him out!! He can go display his people’s Confederate flag elsewhere. BRAVO and heartfelt congratulations for all of your achievements, Ms. Johnson!! 👏🏽🎉👏🏽🎉

[@bronxbaubles]

I needed to hear that today. I’ve walked through fire!!!

[@jkstubbington]

Wow. Just wow. Thank you for sharing the life of this amazing woman’s life.

[@ladonnawashington1643]

Ooooo this brought tears to my eyes. Bravo Ms. Shelia! So happy for you and your mate. You did. I will too! Yayyyyyyyyyyy YOU!

[@anitadawson7766]

She is a very smart businesswoman and just seems so loving. I can’t wait to order the book

[@maryburrell3948]

I loved this. Amazing story

[@wearethetraffic]

For those who haven't been. Salamander in Middleburg is just such an amazing and beautiful place. From the ground to the rooms to the food and overall ambiance it's just amazing. Her properties in DC and the Caribbean are equally amazing. Certainly worth the visit for any of her properties, she curates an amazing experience.

[@KrisHenry-bm9nb]

I need a place where i can be alone at peace! Oh , yeah. Stunning!
