Hello, I am Sheila Atchley —
Artist. Author. Fire-kindler to women in midlife & fourth quarter.
I believe beauty is a practice.
I believe if I encourage the women, I encourage the world.

A Sampling of My Art
Today my husband signed his name on a stack of papers and handed the next guy the keys to thirty years.
Thirty years of spiritual community, altar calls, salvations, and feasting - both spiritual food and physical food. Thirty years of babies dedicated and saints mourned.
Friend -
I need to tell you where I’ve gone.
Not far. Not away from you. Just…elsewhere. I’ve begun writing on Substack and I want to tell you why, because the why matters more than the announcement.
