Celebrating 10+ years of #DoTheDaniel
So let’s talk about Black Friday – everyone is all about the deals and the shopping. Me included of course! But when it comes to finding the perfect gifts sometimes you have to think outside the box. It’s why this Black Friday I assure you the best saving isn’t in stores.

I like to think that life happens to us in exactly the way we need it to in order to be our best selves. Now, that sometimes is going to mean a rough road, but when you get to the end of it you are so much wiser for having walked it. Amid a crazy 2019 and lots of changes in my life personally and professionally, I have come to trust my instincts a little more. When I feel the necessity to take a day off to recharge, I do it.

Above and beyond the ribbon and wrapping, there were several furniture items I now need to see if Santa can fit in his sleigh for me!
As of late you’ll realize that I have gone all kinds of introspective. Sometimes when life gives you a good shake and you need to put things back together, that can happen. But it also seems as though a lot of my friends are feeling this way too. I’m not 100% sure what happened to 2018 – the year we all said “would be different” – but it’s been a doozy. Ups and downs are always going to be a part of this beautiful chaos we call life, and sometimes I have to remind myself that I can only control my reaction to it all. Lately I have been trying my best to focus on the beautiful moments, people, and memories that have led me to where I am today. And I have been trying my very best to change the way I frame things.
