Her lifelong commitment to inspiring people to make meaningful changes in their lives drives her every day. Helping is what fulfills her.She grew up in a low-income neighborhood in the city of Seattle surrounded by cultural, economic and social diversity. This upbringing gave her an appreciation of all differences. She had two main loves; people and books. She spent most of her childhood either reading books, hustling to make money, or observing people and contemplating why they did the things they did.After officiating hundreds of weddings and collecting a variety of wording choices for creating ceremonies, she published the bestseller, “Do- It-Yourself Wedding Ceremony: Choosing the Perfect Words and Officiating Your Unforgettable Day” (now in its third edition).Growing up in poverty, her only access to books was through the library. So, once she published her first book, her entire focus for the next year, was getting the book into all the libraries. She wanted to make sure that lack of money would not prevent anyone from using the book to make their wedding day unforgettable.Dayna currently resides in the southern California area. She still loves books and has been spotted at the library taking pictures of her books on the shelves.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
