THE TAO OF DANA
Give More & Really Be Of Service!
Be of service and brilliant things happen. Focus on giving. And giving. And giving. I've been in that place of working for people I disliked so much that the thought of giving to them or helping them seems so unjust…. Give anyway! And I bet you will find a...
Super-Lemon Paleo Lemon Bars!!!
I had no idea what to do with all my lemons. I over-purchased thinking that somehow, magically I would need them much more than real life would ever suggest! After my daily glass of hot water and lemon (I use only half a lemon for this) in the morning, the lemon...
Very Simple High-Vibe Yoga Mat Cleaning Spray!
My new routine of hot yoga has come with many challenges: how to keep up with laundry (*this spray comes in handy), how to stay hydrated (drink moreall day BEFORE class rather than during) and the big one: how to clean my yoga mat!? I've always been baffled by...

Can You Really Change Your Day-To-Day Life By Making Art?!
Some people firmly believe that the rational mind holds the answer to all problems. But, yet, these problems stick around like glue. I'm not a doctor of any kind, but I can tell you that 90% of the hundreds of clients I have worked with over the years have a...
Another Reason To Dive Into Life Completely!
I have to say, this is probably the hardest thing for people like me to do: embracing uncertainty. Not knowing what comes next. Going forward anyway. Fear is the weirdest thing. Especially when the fears people have are all to do with experiencing joy, love,...
