She loves to sit and talk about the ‘beyond the surface’ things in life or you can find her playing games, singing along to her favorite songs, or dancing in the kitchen. She is married to her patient husband, Stephen and they have three fun-loving kids, Kate, Gavin and Matt. They also have a quirky black lab, Georgia, who is afraid to walk past their oven. They live in Shawn's hometown in Connecticut and from the outside in, life may seem flawless. The truth is, from the inside out, Shawn has traveled through some dark valleys in life, including walking with anxiety, depression and a rare cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma. During her walk with with cancer Shawn had to have her palate removed but that hasn’t stopped her from encouraging others to be the person God made them to be! Whether she is writing, speaking (with her artificial, removable palate called an obturator) or teaching, her prayer is that the words she shares encourages those who hear them, including you.
