Nothing in that first post was soaked in cheese. It continues to be a touchpoint for me, something to remind me that we need to note and remember this and that there is so much room for growth out of this shitstorm of a year. The parallels with sobriety were important, but the clarity with which we were all talking about justice can't evaporate. No cheese. All good. All there for regular reference and motivation.

Well, since you asked, I do think you should change the name. I think your writing will appeal to so many people and I’d hate for anyone to miss out. I agree that your sobriety is an interesting and essential part of you and your writing but it’s also about so much more...

Dani! This post almost made me cry, I did well up. You are an amazing, authentic, genuine human. Yes, authentic and genuine basically mean the same thing, I wanted to put emphasis on this quality you possess. Thank you for all you give to all of us. And yes, I hear you on the sober part. It is just a piece of me, it is not my defining characteristic. So I agree if a name change is something you want to do. I am changing the name of my company and it is so hard, but when we change, so must the things we pour our heart and soul into. See you tonight! xoxoxoxoxoxo
