About Sheila
Sheila Preston Fitzgerald, author of One Foot in Heaven, is alive today only by the Grace of God. A near-death motorcycle accident that should have taken her life, instead, filled this Godly woman with a passion larger than life itself.
Dubbed “Sweet & Sassy,” Sheila’s love of people, love of life, and most importantly her love for God radiates the Light of Life.
As a highly sought after professional manicurist by day, Sheila finds great joy in helping others not only look beautiful but feel beautiful too.
Publicly, Sheila shares her incredible passion for life through various speaking engagements. While women’s ministries tend to be most common, she is quick to note that she shares her miraculous true story wherever she’s called to encourage, inspire and give hope. Her vast real-life experiences are revealed through subjects too numerous to mention. Sheila has greatly impacted lives from a wide range of audiences — civic groups, non-profit organizations, schools - including a juvenile detention center, and church communities.
Sheila’s service and commitment to others has presented her with some very prestigious awards from the Tennessee Chiropractic Association and the American Red Cross, and the coveted Paul Harris Fellow Award from the local Rotary Club - an award that is rarely given to non-members.
Sheila’s heart smiles when she’s able to spend time building-up others, having intentional quiet time with God in prayer and meditation, and lovingly serving her church family as a part of the prayer ministry team.
Sheila admits she has a love affair with all things pen and paper — from devout journaling, working on a second book, to sending hand- written notes of encouragement via snail-mail she is grateful for the gift of written words.
When there’s not a pen in her hand, Sheila cherishes her time with quality friends and family, relaxing with a good book that renews her soul, sharing her God-given gift of hospitably by hosting guests in her home, and of course loads of snuggles with her little dog Daisy.
Sheila lives south of Nashville, TN where she loves life and finds great joy in serving others.
