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.
Dubbed “Sweet & Sassy”, Sheila’s love of people, love of life, and most importantly love for God radiates the Light of Life.
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 allow her to greatly impact a wide range of audiences including civic groups, non-profit organizations, schools, church communities and even juvenile detention centers!
Sheila’s heart smiles when she is able to spend time building others up, having intentional quiet time with God in prayer and meditation, and lovingly serving her church family.
Sheila is also known for her talented writing. She writes captivating articles, heartfelt devotionals, anthology contributions, and encouraging guest blogs. She admits she has a love affair with all things pen and paper. From devout journaling, working on more books, contributing articles, to sending hand-written notes of encouragement she is grateful for the gift of written words. As she often states, “I hold the pen, God wiggles it!”
When there is not a pen in her hand, Sheila cherishes spending quality time with friends and family, relaxing with a soul-renewing book, sharing her God-given gift of hospitality by hosting guests in her home, and of course snuggling with her new little dog, Ivy.
Sheila lives south of Nashville, Tennessee, where she loves life and finds great joy in serving others.
