From reading some of Dawn Trice's columns, it can be observed that she focuses on community outreach and the positives of society. From the story of the death midwife who worked hard to make life easier for older people, to the abused pit bull who got saved and in return helped her owned through a battle with cancer, and then later reflecting about the founder of WeFarm who made a resolution to help troubled communities grow closer together through organic farming. Often times in the news all we find are negative announcements, yet for the most part Trice chooses the road less traveled by in order highlight the positives. Although we might face obstacles in our lives, she continues to remind us in her columns that you just need to have hope and you will make it through. Roberta Miller and Sweetie Grace, the pit bull, both faced obstacles that would test their limits, but with each other's friendship they both conquered them. "It's a story of how sometimes the obstacles one has to go through to get to the right place can be just plain torture," Miller said. "But then sometimes you can come out on the other side." Both Ana Blechschmidt, the death midwife, and Seneca Kern, the founder of WeFarm, worked to improve people's lives and help them through their own obstacles. Trice focuses on the aspects of community and unity, both conveyed in her columns. She is a columnist who is realistic, yet also finds a "silver lining" in even the most seemingly devastating circumstances.
