hi friend,

I'm Dawn
Towne

Wife, mom of four, business owner, journal maker, and a dreamer who learned to keep the ember burning.

My story

I didn't know how.
But God.

In 2022, I wrote five journals. The first one, I designed in Canva. Then I spent the next year hearing the same answer from printers: no, or a price I couldn't reach.

So I bought a paper cutter and a coil binder, and I hand-made ten journals for ten high school girls in my community. After setback after setback, I didn't know how to take it any further, so the dream sat on a shelf.

In 2025, I found the files again. I found a printer, taught myself InDesign, and merged two of those journal ideas into one. That became It's Time to Dream Again, my first published journal.

I didn't know how to make it happen, but God did. A true dream always keeps an ember burning, even when you can't see the way forward.
