For thirty years I provided non-profit organizations and state and local governments with planning and evaluation services. In 2016, I retired and found a wonder-filled world of writing, travel, oyster farming and the slower pace of living on Hood Canal. It's been an adventure.

July 2025...

Still here. Still writing. Still loving Hood Canal.
 
You can catch up on some of my current reality in Into the Slow Lane and Hood Canal. The Interests page provides readings and resources, both new and old.

​And the big news! I finished my fifth novel. It has been published on Amazon. Please go to the Writing page to read about all my books and find links to a preview of them. And catch up on some poetry I'm learning to write. 

​Thanks, Dawn

A Reflection for the New Year...
​Walk Through
 
Consider thresholds
Torii gates inspired me
Limitless options
Door after door after door
Each a beginning, ending​
