Shannon Blair is a certified nutrition coach, writer, and ed tech trainer at CPCC. Most importantly though, she is wife to Sam and "Mommo" to Jay (11), Nora (8), and Tater (78 in dog years). She can be spotted getting muddy in the garden, wreaking havoc in the kitchen, running, relaxing with a local craft brew, at the barre (as in Pure Barre), reading, or trying to figure out which story to tell next. Stop on by and see how she can help you tell your stories too at pinkpenwriting.com.
