"What if that someone was you?" Shannon had been so quick to blame others
for her anger. She knew she was drowning in darkness and pain; being born
with a learning disability made her feel defeated by life. She tried
drinking heavily in order to quiet the demons. After being kicked out of
college, Shannon took a leap of faith and started working in a nursing home.
That's when her angels appeared and the miracle began. The insight and
wisdom she gained from those elderly new friends led her on an inspiring
journey of discovery and self-acceptance. Each of us has our own path. Some
of us just need angels to help us find it. This is her story.

What is
FINDING MY SUNSHINE?
Finding My
Sunshine is about me being in the dark for some time; it was only after I learned
to accept myself was, I able to find my sunshine, and dance to life’s lessons.
I talk about my depression, suicidal and being born with a learning disability.
I felt defeated before I got out of bed in the morning. I tie that in with how
my residents felt; and at times they too felt defeated and not heard. Finding My Sunshine, reminds us we can all
dance in the sun regardless of our struggles.
Meet the Author:
Shannon was raised in a small town in Eastern Montana, where
you leave your car keys in the ignition and your front door unlocked all the
time. The kind of place where sunsets and sunrises can be seen for miles on
the horizon. Where the spring crickets and frogs resting in the irrigation
ditches helped transition the days into a calm resting night. Where the
winters can get so cold, air can freeze. It was only after she was
academically suspended by the college she was attending, that she became a
Certified Nurses Aide (CNA). She did her training in Billings, Montana and
it was there she learned how to take care of others and bonded with the
geriatric population. For over five years, Shannon worked in the same
nursing home where she received her training. The work was hard, but it
grounded her and helped her find balance in what had become a deeply
unbalanced life. It was not until she was a CNA, at one of the hospitals
that she had a dream-three nights in a row-that she was going to become a
nurse. She currently resides in Tampa, Florida, where you may hear her
laughing with her husband of over 10 years, scuba diving in the ocean,
taking walks with their rescued pit-bull dog- Darby, or dancing together to
life's music.
