- Shannon Bond

My name is Shannon Bond, and my guiding light is to serve others and create. Through fiction, essays, articles, art, and design, I explore the stories that shape our lives. My goal is simple: to find clarity, connection, and purpose for myself and others through creativity in all its forms.

I manage the Design and Print Shop at The Fulfillment House, where we provide meaningful employment opportunities for adults with special needs and disabilities. I am the author of The Nost, Sanctuary, and the ongoing Mind your Business column for The Regular Joe.

As I explore, experience, and express myself, I often weave ideas from Stoicism, Buddhism, and other wisdom traditions into my essays and fiction. That’s why the “your” is lowercase in Mind your Business, a nod to the illusion of ego and the stories we attach to identity. I’m fascinated by the narratives we tell ourselves and the ways they shape our relationships, work, purpose, and understanding of the world.

As a dyslexic writer and designer, I am a strong advocate for the dyslexic advantage. I enjoy helping others work through what may initially appear to be cognitive barriers, only to discover that they are often unique strengths and perspectives waiting to be recognized.
