My name is Dawn Mathisen and I live in Sunny Southwest Florida with my son, Trevor. It's nice to meet you here at Squidoo!

There are lots of ways I can describe myself to you: Mom, Business Owner, Real Estate Agent, Webmistress, Online Marketer, Social and Professional Networker, Friend, Collector, Writer, Shopper, Dreamer, Possibility Thinker and Entrepreneur.

I consider myself a constant work in progress ever evolving into the woman I will become before I leave this Earth and creating the legacy I will leave behind to my child and those who knew me.

One of my all-time favorite quotes is:
"You make the world a better place by making yourself a better person."
-- Scott Sorrell

As a single mom raising a young son, I struggled for years often working two jobs to make ends meet. Today, I am following my dreams as an entrepreneur, business owner, Real Estate Agent and marketer. It's a great life!

While I wear many hats, I wouldn't have it any other way and I genuinely love what I do! It enables me to be home with my son while still supporting our family. I like to say I'm Mom First, Business Woman Second.

I do a lot of my work online which is great fit for my lifestyle. I work my own hours and my home office has a relaxed dress code. I am known around the internet as:

CandleDawn: Because of my Gourmet Candle and Mineral Makeup Business. I use the internet to build an income via network marketing and direct sales and it's lots of fun! It's something anyone can do. There is work involved but it's a great business and I would love to tell you more...

The Dawn Of Real Estate: I am an active Realtor in Southwest Florida, specializing mostly in Lehigh Acres Residential Real Estate and Florida Timeshare Resales. Life has come full circle you might say. Years past I had 5+ years of experience in the industry and 700+ successfully closed transactions in my 20's plus a 5+ year title insurance background. Though the market has changed, one thing has not - Professional, personal and friendly customer service never goes out of style.

Southwest Florida Mommy: Most obviously because I live in Southwest Florida but also because I'm the City Leader of a local Moms network. I love to meet other Moms online and offline, share ideas, support one another and more. I also see a need to connect Moms to the local family friendly business community.

Shopping Savvy Mama: Admittedly, I love to shop but I'm also one who loves to stretch my spending dollar and make the family budget go further. I love online shopping for many reasons. Doing my shopping online and saving money, gas and time is always a winner for me. Believe it or not, you can get great deals online and I love to share how!

You can find me around the internet as I use all these nicknames or handles in my Blogs and more.

You can find out more about me by visiting my lenses as they will tell you a lot about me, my interests, my business, what I do and why I love it so. It's great to follow my passions and help others while creating a lifestyle for my family.

I love to share ideas and learn from others. Writing, blogging and being a webmistress has allowed me to do so. Squidoo was a natural choice for me and it has been a great way to connect with people who have similar backgrounds, interests and hobbies.

Looking forward to meeting many new online friends and associates.
