Being a Verb
True Stories
Humor, heart & Raw Honesty
Writing at the intersection of chaos, spirituality, empowerment and WTF. Think Eat, Pray, Love meets Bridget Jones with an Irish twist and a side of anarchy.
About
I'm Shawn Bender and I identify as a Verb
I'm just your quintessential American gal, slogging through the daily grind, dreaming of a life where I'm sipping champagne on a yacht, attended by a chiseled waiter named Diego. Then I get laid off and became faced with the scary question of "what now?" So here I am writing my story, the one itching to be told. The one that will compel others to not only step outside the box but to set it ablaze and dance in the ashes. #funnywomanwriter
