My Joy Today

Joyce Marie Sheldon ... Author, Inspirational Speaker, Caregiver Advocate

"I speak not of death and dying,
but of life and living -
with faith and courage
each moment
till the end."

~ Joyce Marie Sheldon

___________________________________________________________________
FROM FEAR TO FAITH,
A CAREGIVER'S JOURNEY

Endorsed by Hospice International

 "This book is a tasteful collection of poems, prayers and meditations that I think would be useful to any caregiver dealing with end-of-life issues. It is very much in the spirit of palliative care—where you may be unable to add days to the life, you add life (and meaning) to the days. Reading how one couple achieved this would be both comforting and inspirational to others in a similar situation."
 
Roger Woodruff,
Director of Palliative Care,
Hospice International

"You could have heard a pin drop. 
Joy's story and her poet's way of telling it touched our hearts and minds."

- Linda Timmer
Director of Member Services
Tennessee Hospice Organization
 
"You captivated an audience of over 200 people by sharing your stories
and addressing the spiritual and emotional issues while in the midst of a crisis.
While you spoke, tears were shed by both men and women
because souls were touched by an understanding of despair, hope, grief and sadness."
 
- Kathy Sims
former Director of Volunteers
Hospice & Palliative Care of the Charlotte Region
Charlotte, NC, USA
 
 "She was powerful and a genuine gift. I gained much from her testimony."
"She was inspiring and uplifting. I was blessed to share in her experience."
"Joyce Sheldon was very powerful. Fantastic! Wonderful! A genuine gift."
 
- attendees at various presentations


___________________________________________________________________

Trials and tribulations, fear and anxiety, have been my teachers;
courage and fortitude have been my priceless partners;
peace and fulfillment have been my glorious rewards.
 
My life journey has taken me into valleys of despair
and lifted me to mountaintops of joy and triumph.
 
I have walked beside the troubled teenager -
I have counseled the lonely and the lost -
I have comforted the sick and the dying -

What is it that you want?
What is it that will take your heart
and let it soar high above the mountain top
Up into the air like an eagle in flight
Unguarded
And unafraid
What is it?

From Seekers & Dreamers.... 
A Collection

Faith

When faith overcomes fear
When the power of the virtue
Surges high above the doubt
That is when the heart shall fly
And soar
And feel the freedom
That ultimate place
Of peace and serenity
Of confidence
And trust
That is when
The world will shrink
Into nothingness
And all that matters
Are two hearts
Joined together
In faith
