Hey,
I’m Shawnda Bennett!
I have made 50 trips around the Sun so far.
I was born in Cascade Idaho and escape back to my beloved mountains every chance I get!
I have the incredible honor of being mom to 2 amazing daughters ages 30 and 16, who are both living miracles! My youngest daughter was born with special needs which were, until recently, quite medically intensive. I also am honored to be able to be my mom’s full time care provider.
My calling is caring for people with special needs , so naturally I chose to work for those with special needs in their homes as well.
As you can imagine, when I was diagnosed with stage 2 Lymphatic cancer in February of 2025, I found it quite challenging to be on the other side of the caring journey!
This cancer/chemo battle was one of the hardest I’ve ever fought! I fought through 6 months of chemo, and each month brought a new health complication, some permanent, as a result of chemo therapy. This battle almost devastated my usually tenacious drive and energy reserves. Today, I am blessed with the miracle of remission, cancer free baby!!!
Another miracle manifested when by a chance meeting in a store I met Deb!
Kismet, as Deb calls it, introduced me to the incredibly amazing women of My Happy Place!
There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for these women and all the generous people who make up the Angels in action of My Happy Place!!
Though I have a long journey of recovery ahead, my new room will truly be a sanctuary of love and healing and I am beyond blessed for such an incredible gift!
