an introduction

My name is Danne Len from Phoenix, Arizona. I’m a Taurus born Beltane baby, married for 20 years to my high school sweetheart (together almost 30!) and I miss reading. A lot. And I also miss reading a lot of books. I have been in a reading slump for the past few years. I’ve managed to read some good stuff in the few books I’ve read each year but I miss the insatiable need to read that I once had. I even named a book blog The Insatiable Bookie because that’s what I was. It was also a Youtube channel for a bit.

So, how do I fix this? I’ve tried just diving into random titles, multiple library trips, and re-reading favorites. My answer is to return to Youtube. I’ve been wanting to for awhile and I feel this will be a good push to read more. Setting up a content schedule should help me prioritize reading. I’m also including writing, tarot, and travel. A lifestyle channel, basically. I want to create a space where people feel encouraged to go after the life they want. I’m talking in every aspect. What do you want your day to day to look like? Not just what you can do with the time you have between the 9-5 and bed.

My ideal is to be able to read and write as often as I want while traveling with my husband and creating a healthier more vibrant life. I’d like to see more nature. Walking through the trees in different forests and dipping my toes into different bodies of water. I thrive in natural places. The closer I can be to Mama Earth the better. I want to watch my husband be able to create art as often as he wants. He is insanely talented and his work needs to be shared. I also want to continue to create a heart centered business where I share my spirituality, empower women to rise in sacred sisterhood, and provide services that are considered alternative healing. Things like Reiki, crystal healing, and sound therapy. I aim to include goddess circles and lunar rituals in the future. Mostly I just want peace in my soul and prioritize my mental health. Because the cubicle life is not for me. It leaves me depressed and feeling out of control of my own life. Luckily, my partner of almost 30 years is on board with this and wants that type of life as well. We make a good team.

This blog and youtube channel will be a good way to document this strange journey towards a more balanced, healthy, and vibrant life. I’m looking forward to the creative aspects of this endeavor and being able to look back on a life lived with enthusiasm and less regret. My challenge is to Create the Story I Want to Live. Will you join me? Will you accept the challenge?

Whatever you do I hope it brings you joy and peace.

Take care,

Danne Len
