Some of the most meaningful miracles are those we perform ourselves. When we reach beyond our natural tendencies, when we break through our usual boundaries to help someone else, when we give to others above and beyond our comfort zone - these are our very own minor (and sometimes major) miracles.

Clowning to sell technology
That's me on the left as Cuddles the Clown, one of my DASH Designs (make-up and costume).
About Me
- Debra Ann Schwartz
- Tempe, Arizona, United States
- DASH is my pen name. Initially it was a fashion label I made up as a budding costume designer at the drawing board. Whether dressed as Cuddles the Clown or to lead a workshop in humor writing or intercultural interviewing, I view success as a shared result. Little known about me is that I write chick lit, creative nonfiction, am a published poet and my paintings have been sold by a Chicago art gallery. I specialize in media analysis, content analysis, and writing and editing about science and the environment. Over time I've worked with several of the nation's top companies and news outlets, universities both in the U.S. and overseas, and led writing workshops for assorted professional organizations. At WMAQ-TV, NBC-Chicago, I was called a creative catalyst by the news director, a label that has stuck throughout my career, whether as a writer, promoter or analyst. I enjoy reading stories, and would like to know yours. Please be in touch!
