About Me — Dawn :)

Dawn at a pizza place in Portland called Life of Pie on New Years Day 2022
Picture of Me by my husband, Keith!

So, full disclosure — it’s taken me a couple weeks and several drafts to actually say what I wanted to say about myself as an introduction :P

I even had a fully completed version that I submitted to The Shortform that I then deleted, without saving it anywhere.

Note to self: Don’t delete your work without at least saving it somewhere. What were you thinking?!

I started out with a laundry list. Woman, age 46, happily married no kids one cat living in Portland.

And then I erased that and started again with ‘I was born under the sign of Scorpio in 1975 to a hippie mother and a salesman father. To my mom, I was the second coming. To my father, I was the end of a good run.’

Agh, geez, I don’t even want to read that.

So, then I made a list! Lists are great :D

Things I want to be sure to say:

  • 46 yo woman, married with 1 cat no kids
  • Sick most my life, never worked
  • Bachelors in family and child sciences
  • Trained as a life coach
  • Dungeons and Dragons
  • Weight Watchers
