ABOUT DHUCKS

DhucksLogo_MASTER_SHADOW transparent.png

Dhucks began as an idea in the summer of 2005. Sitting in the Barnes & Noble in Hilo, HI with five organizing books on my lap, I had an idea that I could take my love of organizing and turn it into a business.  

 

The next step was finding a name for my business. Organize This or Sort That didn't seem all that exciting or fun. Then my sister reminded me of the motto — get your ducks in a row. YES! Ducks! I love ducks!! I immediately searched for the .com website of ducks. Unfortunately, a bass fishing company had it. But the idea wouldn't die. And then... the next idea struck. By putting a silent "h" in, I created Dhucks, and my business had a name.

Shawndra considers herself a lousy tourist as she usually spends her vacations enjoying a good book (reading one or writing one) and drinking coffee on her lanai, deck, porch or sunroom.  That’s why she prefers to live and work in interesting locales.  She went to graduate school in Montana, worked on Johnston Island (~850 southwest of Hawai’i) for several years, spent a year at the South Pole, Antarctica, and then thawed out in Hawai'i. She is currently enjoying the people and scenery of Western Pennsylvania as she organizes and coaches writers and others who are reaching for their dreams.
