I spent years making myself small and invisible. Now, at 61, I’m choosing to be fully seen and I’m inviting you to do the same. Hi I'm Dana and on this channel, we explore the just-right speed of the second half of life.

Through the lens of slow living, wabi-sabi, and ikigai, I’m learning (imperfectly and out loud) how to trade 'productivity guilt' for presence and intent. If you’re ready to stop apologizing for your pace and start actually living your stories, pull up a chair. You’ve found your Moai, your shared circle of friends! 🌸

🌸 Finding beauty in the imperfect, unfinished, and wonderfully ordinary. 🌸

Happy Sunday, my friend! 🥁 Something big is happening this morning that I talk about at the very end of today’s video... we are finally on our way to pick up Mika! 🌸

This journey back to my ikigai and the lie I finally faced goes public in just 30 minutes. I can’t wait to hear your story in the comments. See you at 8:30! 💜

Hello, my friend!! I've been sitting here reading your comments since yesterday and I'm incredibly moved by all the comments. Thank you so much for watching this video, it was such a personal one, and i can feel that you understand my journey and are transforming right along with me!!

You understand what it means to be Silver Army, even those who aren't BTS fans, and that's something so deep in all of us. 💜

I'm working on something new...its something in me that still needs some healing. It's not really about BTS, it's about the lie that was underneath the concert, the one I told myself since i was a little girl. So please stay tuned!

Oh and I have a Tea Chat Live coming up this Sunday and I really hope you'll join me! It will be Sunday, May 31, at 9am PST / 12pm EST. I’ll even be gifting 10 channel memberships during the live to welcome our new friends! If you click on the link you can choose 'Notify Me' and YouTube will send you a reminder! youtube.com/live/6rEr3EXBxLs?feature=share

Because I've gained over 700 new subscribers so far, some of you might be wondering what this channel actually is about. I make longer videos every other Sunday, the kind that take a little time and care to put together. And I've stepped away from Shorts for now so I can give those videos everything I've got: debunking brutal lies, finding our voice, slow living, wabi sabi, finding your just-right speed in the second half of life. That's what we do here. I think you're going to feel right at home!

Thanks so much for finding me! For all you turtles out there, let's love our beautifully cracked shells that are repaired with gold. Or maybe it's silver...right Army? 💜
With love & encouragement, Dana 🐢🌸

Happy Saturday, my friend! I have something very special coming for you tomorrow morning at 8:30am pst/11:30am est. 🌸

It’s a story about BTS, the courage it takes to go solo, and a decision I made on a train ride home that changed how I see my life at 61. I can’t wait to share this journey with you all. Special early access is live for my members right now and for everyone else, I'll see you tomorrow morning for the public release! 💜 https://youtu.be/UfMzitciy48
