One of Dawn's greatest passionate dimensions is journaling, a life-changing and life-enhancing practice of writing thoughts, emotions, feelings, angst, validation, affirmation, insight, revelation, plans, goals, dreams and light from all of her walks of life.

Journaling refreshes and invigorates her days as she details her relationships and connections with her family, close friends and her journaling, writing, and artistic worlds.

Dawn is host of #JournalChat Live for all things journaling on Twitter which takes place the First Sunday of every month where she shares from her personal journaling experience, introducing a new topic. With her #JournalChat Links Edition, she promotes and posts journal writing information in the form of blog posts, articles, interviews, book reviews, workshops, videos, and news.

Another passionate dimension of Dawn's life is her focus on authentic refreshment. She enjoys sharing information and personal experience in her monthly Refresh Journal where she publishes refreshing tips and journaling links to help give her subscribers and readers a fresh perspective in all of life's dimensions. Dawn is always in the mindset to refresh herself and encourages others not to forget their own refreshment.

Dawn has created A 21 Day Refresh Intensive E-Course. Activate Your Intuition, Honor Your Preferences, and Listen to Your Life Messages. See this link for more details! Next course run date is May 1st! 

She also offers private 30 minute Refresh Sessions (for $75) by email or text to help folks initiate the discovery process of their Authentic Refreshment, thus creating a life style of refreshment and positive change.

As a writer, Dawn also pens her life experience and expertise through blog posts and articles with journaling and refreshment as her focus, all with the aim toward promoting positive change in the mindset for a fresh perspective, which results in a higher quality of life. She has been published in her local city newspaper, The Princeton Herald, on websites and blogs focused on journaling and healing (allthingshealing.com, createwritenow.com, journalingsaves.com, and others) and in the Homeschool Court Report published by HSLDA.  Please see her Services/Products page for details on her writing services. 

Her e-book The Birthday Wall: Create a Collage to Celebrate Your Child is a how-to on creating a visual collage to affirm and show appreciation for your child on their special day, based on a tradition she has kept for her two daughters for ten years (as of 2014).

As a life-long artist, Dawn has a passion to create. Whether it's capturing another's likeness or capturing her intuitive imagination, she has enjoyed drawing with pencil/colored pencil/charcoal as well as pen and ink. Her current passion, however, is the wonderful world of watercolor, using brush strokes and the more pointed stipple method, as she creates interesting, inspiring designs with vibrant colors with high vibration. She also delights in creating collage layouts and art journal pages, using image, text, and texture in mixed media, playing on the page through intuition and imagination. Her Dawn Herring Collection Art Gallery can be viewed here.

In Dawn's work-life dimension, she manages the office of Bill's Quality Electric, LLC as she partners with her husband, Master Electrical Contractor, Bill, to provide electrical service and repair to homes and businesses in the Dallas metro area, covering cities of McKinney, Allen, Plano, Frisco, Princeton, and others. (see website for details.) Her focus is on the behind-the-scenes activities of answering service calls, filing, payroll, invoicing, record keeping, and Social Media marketing and SEO.  

Dawn is an artist, writer, journal keeper, mom of two daughters, and grandmother to one grandboy.
