✍🏽April Writing Workshop is NEXT SUNDAY! Grab your spot here (Sunday, April 24, 10am - 12pm PST). I’ve reduced the overall capacity so please be sure to sign up in advance 🤓.
Questions? Ask. I’m here and I’d love to hear from you.
So today’s original plan was to riff off this week’s essay about boredom in sobriety and to provide some ideas and suggestions on how to, like, I don’t know, try to have fun and stuff, but then I sat down to write this morning and realized a little milestone went by that I completely neglected to notice.
Today, eleven days late, I am celebrating SELF MADE’s two year anniversary. What started as a just-a-few-week’s-into-the-pandemic-creative-project has evolved into the most important lighthouse in my life. I thank you all for your friendship, your eyes on my words, your kindness, and for keeping me steady and anchored over these past two unbelievably chaotic years.
Here are some of my most read/most personally beloved posts:
I know we’ve sort of reached Peak Substack, and that you have SO. MUCH. CONTENT vying for your attention from all sides at all times. It is a great honor that you choose to place your time and attention—the most precious of resources!—here in this humble corner of the internet. Please let me know if there is anything you’d like to seen explored here in the realms of:
🔮 Recovery 🔮 Creativity 🔮 Life Design 🔮 Becoming SELF MADE 🔮 Getting hella buff (jkjk)
Some freshie announcements are on the way but today, it’s just this:
THANK YOU.
xxoo Dani
📖Read: “Following the last few years I’m feeling empty and more cynical than ever. I’m losing faith in other people, and I’m scared to pass these feelings to my little son. Do you still believe in Us (human beings)?” A particularly lovely post over at The Red Hand Files.
👀Watch: I am obsessed by the fight in this baby mountain lion that is recuperating at the Oakland Zoo after being found orphaned in a park down the peninsula. The video is so moving to me - just look at her:

🎧Listen: I’ve been channeling my inner teenage punk by listening to this remix of one of my favorite Le Tigre songs on major repeat all week 🤩
