I hope you are feeling better, Dana! Sending lots of good wishes! Please don’t put extra stress on yourself to publish every week. We are very happy to read from you whenever you are ready. Your space matters, your voice matters, YOU matter. So, take good care of yourself!! 💞
Claudia, thank you so much 🙏 I made a quiet promise to myself to post weekly this year, not out of pressure but as an anchor. Something to show up for, even if it’s messy or simple. Your kindness reminds me that I don’t have to do it perfectly, just honestly. So grateful for you being here 💗
I hope you are feeling better Dana. You know surrender is one of the hardest things to do especially when our safety is built around being able to control
Thank you, Andrea. You’re so right — surrender is hard when control feels like safety, but I’ve also come to learn how powerful it can be, and I’m still softening into it. Letting go of that grip is such a vulnerable place to be. Your kindness means a lot 💛
I can so relate to what you've been going through. It's hard to accept being forced to stop and miss out on opportunities etc. but there is nothing we can do than surrender and take the situation as it is. I keep thinking more and more that the things that happen to us in life are meant to happen and those that don't aren't. At least I choose to view it that way because it helps me surrender and accept life circumstances instead of fighting them. Thanks for sharing, Dana. Hope you're better now x
Thank you, Alex 🙏 Surrendering used to feel like giving up to me (or even failure), but I’ve come to see it as something powerful. Like you said, it can bring such peace when things are out of our hands. I’m slowly mending, still a bit tender, but getting there 💗 Sending care your way too x
I marvel at such strength you have Dana to get up and keep going, to see the message with harder times. I love your grannies quote, there is only so much we can control and the rest we can let go knowing we have tried and new better things will come. Sending healing heartfelt get well wishes to you 💕🌻✨🌱
Thank you, Clare 🙏 I've come to learn that sometimes strength is simply showing up, even when it’s messy. So glad my granny’s words resonated with you too. I really appreciate your kindness 💕🌻✨
Aw take care Dana, hope it's an easy week for you xx yes had a super time, the change of pace was needed and will get a cuppa when you feel up to a visit xx 🥰
I hope you're feeling better Dana and be sure to take good care of yourself. No pressure to deliver every week as that adds stress to your day. Always good to hear from you whenever that may be. Have a restful weekend 🤗 Karen x
Thank you so much, Karen 💛 I really appreciate your kindness. I promised myself I’d share one letter a week throughout 2025. It’s been a learning curve, but I’m finding ways to show up gently, even on the tougher weeks, which might mean writing less or sharing something simpler. I’m so grateful for the space to do that here and for the lovely community — including beautiful souls like you. Wishing you a peaceful weekend 🤗 x

This sounds like an excellent combination: something to show up for, but no need for perfection. ☺️
Yes, it's about trying to hit that balance, I think :)
