Podcast: How Is Your Spirit Working For You?

Listen Here:

Mary Ann Sheveland is the author of Journey of My Heart, A Memoir. In her book, she shares her personal experiences with her husband’s terminal heart disease. This was a journey that lasted nineteen years yet through the entire crisis there was much love and our dreams were met on a modified basis.

This is a love story that shows all of the major lifestyle changes, followed by financial hardships and grief/recovery and a meaningful testimony from a wife’s perspective. A torch is shown on a topic that is often avoided and gives a human, not clinical response to the illness and relationship.

Throughout the years of her husband’s illness people repeatedly asked her the same question “How can you personally continue with one crisis after the other?” Mary created a post for JenningsWire that relates to her story. It’s called “How Is Your Spirit Working For You?”

Mary Ann Sheveland

Mary Ann grew up in Brownwood, a small central Texas town. Her early love of the violin, which developed at the age of ten, and subsequent mastery of the instrument opened many opportunities for her. She was mentored and prepared for her musical journey from the director of the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra. She auditioned and was selected to join the Blue Jeans Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra was underwritten by Levi Straus Blue Jean Manufacturer and the City of Estes Park, Colorado. Two musical students from each state were selected and concerts were given each Sunday afternoon in a natural amphitheater in the Rocky Mountains. Mary Ann remains an alumnus of this group which is an active symphony now making their home in Breckenridge, Colorado. Mary Ann also played in the Las Vegas, Wichita Falls and Austin Symphony Orchestras.

She had a busy career beginning at the Governor’s Office in Colorado. Then fourteen years at a Texas Trade Association. She was Manager of a Computer Magazine Publishing Company. The last few years of working were spent in sales, which led to her home office, as her husband’s health declined.

Since her husband’s death, Mary Ann has written several books, including a Book of Poetry, Children’s Short Stories, Reflections, The Pioneers and her just published book, Journey of My Heart, A Memoir.

During the last quarter of 2012 Mary Ann was engaged with speaking engagements and book signings in several states, as well as radio interviews from New York City, Dallas, Denver, Portland and Seattle, Washington.
