Modern Love Nov. 15/2024  by Sharon Dunn

  Below is the first essay I tried to publish, and I sent it to The New York Times. The gall, right? It helped that, at the time, the NY Times editor, who ripped my story off the wire, was the wonderful Gayden Wren. Look him up, such an amazing, talented man. He didn’t know me from the man in the moon, and he told me that this was the first time he took a piece off the wire, from an unknown, for syndication. He also said that he wanted it because it made him feel something…ahh.  Never met him but  will never forget him..🥰 Thank you Mr. Wren!  I don’t know how to make this emoji smaller, but that’s ok considering the feelings behind it!

Hi Everyone! Check out my recent radio interview above. 

And check out AMAZING BRACE, MACLEANS Magazine. Over the years, I’ve had a tremendous amount of response from readers around the world on this one. My article supported bracing when most of Canadian and US doctors didn’t.. Now braces are used widely throughout the world..thanks to my article, ok I might be pushing that a bit..
