Hello there and welcome. I love words, people, and coffee! I'm an author and speaker with a passion to help us hear God's whispers above the roar of the world.
My love of stories began as a little girl pretending to be a librarian, leading story time to my imaginary patrons. I've served as a newsletter contributor and editor for a professional organization and published my first magazine article in "West Coast Woman", in which I shared my experience of living with a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis.
Professionally, I hold a degree in Human Resources with a concentration in Gerontology, which has afforded me a long, rewarding career advocating for vulnerable adults. I am a member of the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association and The Write Practice.
I have traveled the country with my husband, with whom I make my home in sunny Florida. I enjoy rummaging through antique shops and posses a quirky affinity for all things office supplies. My husband and I share our companionship with our feisty miniature Dachshund, Lilly, who claims her spot as the head of our household.
Join me as we journey together sharing stories, devotions, random ponderings and an occasional rant or two (or three).
Come, sit for a spell . . . I'll put the coffee on.
In the meantime, please connect with me at my website (Dawn Van Beck dotcom), and on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Pinterest (Dawn Van Beck)
