I’m honored to have a new essay published in The Bucket Magazine. This magazine is unique, with a tagline “live fully. die well.”
My essay addresses my journey of growing up with a congenital heart defect and the ever-present cloud of death looming over me. I discuss my evolving relationship with my health and mortality and how I’ve become comfortable with the reality of a shorter lifespan than most.

What a meaningful story... beautiful essay. I'm so glad I found it, Dawn. 5 years ago, at age 66, I had open heart surgery to replace a calcified aortic valve and repair an aneurism. Hearing about your journey is a clear reminder of just how fortunate I am to be healthy now. Thank you so much for sharing ...I look forward to reading your memoir!!!
Beautiful essay. Thank you for sharing the love!
