I’m Shannon. Welcome to my brave space on the internet, where we refuse to dehumanize each other while also choosing messy and honest peacemaking over keeping an artificial peace that might look good but isn’t good (not for all of us).
Who am I?
loved and trying to love
a disabled disability activist and theologian
author of one book so far
writer of articles, essays, and speeches
an apprehensive poet
a sex trafficking survivor
educator by training with my M.A.Ed.
motivational(ish) speaker by accident
a widow
a single mom to six amazing kids
an unlikely Christian
probably in need of a nap
and living brave with chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, a spinal cord injury, PTSD, ADHD, regular therapy, a bunch of meds, a dash of hope, two dogs, and seven cats, while juggling a lot of hats or something like that…
And I show up.
It seems like you do too.
Welcome.
Take a deep breath.
And now, let’s see if I’ve updated any of the pages around here!
