Dawn Yellott is my amazing daughter and mother of my incredible granddaughter, Lily! Her childhood could hardly be described as normal, yet she survived the crazy mother who went through several husbands before finding the right one. She survived living as a hippie child in a school bus for a year and in a tipi without electricity and running water for a year and a half at 8000 ft on a Colorado mountain.
She's survived mental illness on both sides of the family and the loss of her Dad to it.
Through it all, and her own struggle to hold on to some sanity, she has given love to all around her.
And now, she is an example for others that you can survive...even when things look toughest...even when drugs or alcohol seem to be killing the pain...she got to the other side to life that is joyful!
Dawn, you inspire me by what you've had to do to get to where you are today!
Clean, sober, happy, responsible, and full of love!
You are sharing your magic touch with everyone who is lucky enough to get a massage or facial....
You awed me when you combined work, school and mothering, because you didn't let the pressure get to you and took care of Lily so she always knew she was surrounded by love!
I Love you!!!!
The word that describes Dawn is Love.

Thor and I had two sons. He always wanted a little girl. I never gave it much thought over the years, but occasionally I wondered what it would have been like to have a daughter. When I met Dawn last year I thought, "If I had a daughter of my own, I would like her to be Dawn." She is perfect. A wonderful mother. Perfectly lovely. Her family is very blessed. So are those who have the chance to meet her. I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and a magnificent 2007!

For Dawn & Lilly & Co.:
Ms. Dawn Yellott was most certainly my first true love. And it is tremendous to know that she is doing so well and to see that she has been blessed with such a beautiful little girl. As they say, it is unfortunate that youth is wasted on the young...and if I knew then what I know now I would have married the girl with angel eyes and angelic poise. But such is life and hindsight is history. And so we are left with the simple reality that Dawn and Lilly are teamed up to make history which is just exactly the way it was meant to be...
What a beautiful story...
Congratulations Dawn! You should be very proud for having remained so beautiful inside and out. And for having all of the things that money can't buy because with those priceless things you've covered "Wealthy and Wise"...
"Healthy" is still going to require the "Stairstepper" I'm afraid...sorry Darling.
As I cannot seem to find any contact information for Dawn it is my hope that the editor will allow my email to remain in this posting.
Thank you!
Respectfully,
Shawn M. Schofield
