About the happies
Shawna is one member of ‘the happies’ for better or worse and the only ‘happy’ to author on this site at least thus far.
She is also an artist, a wife, a mother of twins, a daughter and a friend.
She aims to balance life in many ways, giving weight to grace and expectantly waiting for the hopes to come.
She knows without grace she is nothing.
She loves fecundity, botany, going for long walks, art, smooth round stones, poetry, movies-minus the syrup, history, creativity, big deep breaths, star trek- the original, nature, allegories, reading, birds, watching her kids grow and deepen, intriguing conversations, science, paul simon-carly simon-cat stevens-bob dylan-nancy griffith-pheobe snow-carol king-johnny cash, weird facts, and the fullness and grittiness of our lives.
She sees metaphors in everything.
She is a vegetarian and wants to live simply though she’s beating down the complicated almost everyday.
She and her family venture to grow food and beauty from their 50′ x 140′ lot, eggs and laughter from their chickens, community and connection from their neighbors.
She carries into all these places a hope and delight that buoys her above dark understandings to joy eternal.
