Emily Orton

Emily first fell in love with words as a little girl absorbing, understanding and sharing life. A former English teacher turned homeschool mom, she is an avid journal keeper and blogger. Her writing is featured in "Dare, Dream, Do: Remarkable Things Happen When You Dare to Dream," by Whitney Johnson. Emily speaks and writes about living with purpose. Emily’s curiosity has led her to become a bareboat charter captain, a scuba diver, a rock climber, a world traveler and most recently a surfer. She explores the world, inner and outer, together with her husband, Erik, and their five children. They blog together at Fezywig.com and make their home in New York City.
