Beautiful and powerful philosophy. We don’t “want” to even acknowledge fear, and that is how I witness it getting it’s grip on me… it creeps up and gradually constricts. But if I say “hello , I see you are present,… what are you trying to tell me?” It then doesn’t have to linger, take hold, or control. A wise woman, Mary Margaret Moore, once said to me, “You have got to understand fear and make it your friend.” Thank you for this deep teaching .

Thank you! This is fantastic! I walked away from a system that feeds on people’s need for validation. I choose me and everything I hold dear to me. ❤️🦋🪲

I loved it, the only quamm I has with it was the 'love, Danielle' part at the end, a little tip for others, instead say 'love' and then whatever your name I'd after that
