Dawn M Hafner

Dawn started writing as a way of achieving balance. Over her career, she had one theme that helped her find success and balance. BE Where You Are. She latched onto this phrase to guide her choices when she became a mom and struggled to balance work, parenting, and time for self. BE Where You Are means to truly embrace where you are in this current moment. We can only focus on what we are doing in the moment. Once we learn how to fully submit to the present, we can evaluate, and guide our compass towards where we want to arrive in the future.

Dawn lives in Iowa with her two teen-age boys. She reads everything she can get her hands on. She enjoys walks with her dog Grace, boating, fitness activities, and a little golf. She enjoys volunteering for Dress For Success Des Moines, and 50% of the profits from The Mapmaker book will be donated there.
