Dana is a former publishing professional who traded corporate deadlines for dog walks and writing from the heart. A lifelong North Carolinian, she cherishes the Southern trinity of God, family, and fried food, though her faith has recently shifted from a familiar tradition to a deeply formative journey.
Since retiring in 2024, Dana has felt a renewed calling to write reflections shaped by Scripture and curiosity. When she’s not on the pickleball court or walking the beach with her husband, Paul, and their dogs, Chloe and Goose, you’ll find her on the porch with a cat in her lap and a cup of tea. She writes about faith and everyday life at danajordanwrites.substack.com.
