2024: A year of change and gratitude

Dear Family, Friends, Clients and Beyond,

First, I want to wish you a blessed and abundant 2025! With each new calendar year comes new hope, inspired dreams and more faith in positive energy. Each of us has the opportunity to see it as a fresh start, and that energy is combined with the millions and billions of other people on the beautiful planet. Group intentions have power and potential, so make the most of it!

It's also a time to reflect and really take inventory of what was and what we desire for the present and future. I want to share some of my story and experience for 2024. I have become keenly aware that depending on whether you are a pessimist or an optimist, you could interpret my story as validation that challenging, hard, and even "bad" things happen, OR you could interpret it as faith, surrender and blessings. 

My 2024 experience brought massive changes to my career, family, and inner journey of self-discovery. These three areas of my life shifted my perception and opened opportunities to choose Love, stay devoted to my spiritual practices and allow myself to be more authentic and seen in the world.

Here's a quick list of changes – how will you receive and perceive them?

• Intel had a massive layoff/separation, and I was informed I would no longer be an Intel employee on June 15.

• My sister's dementia was quickly progressing.

• I launched A Waking Moment Podcast, a weekly podcast that supports others in discovering their authentic inner truth by offering content, questions, stories, and inspiration.

• My Dad had a medical emergency, which included the ER, ICU, hospital stay, and a month-long rehabilitation.

• I rented a private room at a spa and opened Hola Amor Co, LLC.

• We moved my sister into a Memory Care Home.

I share all this because we all have stories of what did or didn't happen. We can stay in the story or rise and shift our perspective. What if all of this was perfectly designed for me to embrace more of who I was born to be? What if these challenges were opportunities to embrace more Love and knock down walls so I could expand my compassion for myself and others?

I am grateful for everyone who came into my life, shared their stories, and stayed open to shifting their experiences. They gave me the strength to continue and faith that we are unconditionally loved by the Divine, Holy Mother and Father.

I am grateful that I deepened my relationships with my family as we all shared the journey of two members of our small unit shifting in ways that caused us to unite, support, Love and co-create together.

I am grateful for my incredibly brave and steadfast niece, who navigated some of the most uphill journeys to ensure her mom received the best support and medical attention. Moving through the many steps of government red tape was tedious. She did it all with Love, compassion, and commitment and still allowed herself time to process what it all meant for her, her husband and her brother.

I am grateful that my heart led the journey of how to care for my Dad as his world shifted. His body needed time to heal and regain strength, and his mental health needed time to catch up on who he was and how he would choose to live his life. And the day-to-day activities of living life shifted as he wasn't driving, and we had to learn to communicate more.

I am grateful for the kindness and generosity of Sunnie Brown, the owner of Resonate Health Spa. She has believed in me and supported me in offering my gifts in a way I have not experienced. The Panther room at the Spa is a place for me and others to rest, receive, and transform.

I am grateful for the outlet to be seen, heard, witnessed, encouraged, and blessed by A Waking Moment Podcast. It launched June 29, and 21 episodes and 20 spark questions were published! The deep internal joy and inspiration I feel as I sit in front of my computer and mic and share the current stream of consciousness was a lifesaver! I discovered how to give grace to myself and learned to trust my connection with the Divine.

I am grateful for the Universe's provision for me as I transition from corporate life to an aligned Divine Plan that is revealed as necessary. Intel's separation package included a year of healthcare, a separation payout, and support in finding a new job. The state of Oregon offered me an unemployment program for entrepreneurs. I have felt loved, seen and cared for throughout the journey.

If you haven't heard from me or noticed I wasn't showing up like I used to, please know I hold you in my heart, offer prayers for abundant blessings, and know that memories of you inspired me to stay committed. I wish you all a HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Happy Anniversary, Congratulations on all your achievements, and I love you, I love you, I love you!!

Things I'm taking with me into 2025:

• Listen to the nudges and act

• Love is the only way forward

• Expanding and opening myself creates more Love.

• Being honest with myself and bold in my sharing provides abundance.

• Holding another in their fear, pain, and anguish is a sacred blessing.

• Selfless Service is not just about my private practice but is fulfilled by offering it to my family, community, and the Earth.

• Abundance is a state of mind as well as an experience

• I am blessed to live this life!

All that I shared here and haven't reminded me that I am not alone. I am loved beyond my understanding. I am a vital energy in this world and galaxy and have so much more to offer! 2025 is a year when my desires, actions and ways of being will lead to greater satisfaction, which I know will lead to incredible connections with all.

All Love,

Dani
