Shawna's Story

Life Short synopsis: Happily married 33 yrs to husband, Steve; have 2 kids that I'm extremely proud of: Melissa (30) and Eric (28); 3 very sweet and very loved grandsons: Sean (7) and Ty (6)and Wyatt (2). For the major part of my career, I was secretary for an alternative high school, where I loved the students and staff. The first day of working there, I remember fondly thinking to myself, "huh, I'm working with Mauvos!"... and felt well suited, as, I had "been in trainging" many years prior, while trying to get friends away from drugs, etc... But just for the record, I was accused often of being a 'Narc', but never was... If I had been, I could've shaken things up a bit. I left the school district after a couple of life threatening illnesses to regroup, at which time, I worked in the hearing industry for 2 yrs, but due to sudden death of employer I found myself in search of a new work place to land... Interesting task at 50! (Man! Where did all those years go?) I surely don't feel THAT old... That was the "previous life"... Now, after illness and adversity, I have been delivered to a new life... filled with passion and joy; seeing more fully the bea...Expand for more
uty that life has to offer! As a fused glass artist, I am inspired by life's, often overlooked, beauty; including it's adversity. I find that I appreciate what I have indured, and count my many, many blessings. Having learned first hand, just how precious, and short, life is... I take no day for granted! Love life! And, KNOW that each day is a gift! I have been blessed since these illnesses, to find myself in the art world as an accomplished artist; specializing in sculpted, fused, dichroic glass jewelry. My work can be found at the Love Art Gallery in Sellwood Area... (13th SE Spokane). I also have a web store on etsy... chrysalisdreams.etsy.com. On another note, recently, it seems, I've been in touch with many grade school classmates yearning to connect with other classmates and friends. So, currently I'm looking to find friends and classmates of Richmond Grade School (class of '71) who would be interested in getting together to organize a school (perhaps,multi-class) reunion. Contact me if you would be interested, and stay tuned... eventually, I hope to post a list of classmates whom we are in search of. In the mean time, take care! Shawna
