Permed helmet-head in a button up cardi is 100000% power. Thanks for this lovely read - I use mantras all the time, different ones for different circumstances but one that often pops up (probably a lot due to work as well) is 'I have so much to be grateful for'.
Donna, I just want to drop into comments with a few words today to say I adore you, and “mystical glow-up” just made me laugh out loud. Thank you for being you.
“In my experience, we often must scramble toward, occasionally search for, and always hold tight to, the sacred essence that is our light.”
It’s almost as if I could have written this myself, which makes your words all the more powerful to me. They feel as if they’ve been drawn from that tender space where truth and vulnerability coexist, where light is something we both scramble toward and fiercely protect. It’s as though you captured a flicker of that sacred essence and held it up for all of us to see. You have such a gift for translating the quiet corners of the heart into something tangible and raw. I’m holding these words close.
What a lovely compliment Thaissa. I love your writing so much so to hear that I wrote something that you feel could have come from you is wonderful! ❤️❤️❤️
Reminding ourselves who we are, and thus, the strength we know resides within us, is greatly powerful.
Thank you, Donna. I needed this reminder today :)
You are so welcome my friend!

That is the most perfect mantra! Thanks Eden❤️
I absolutely love this. Confidence energy!!
Yes, Norma was rocking it!
That's a new train of thought for me. I know who I am - it changes the whole picture.
I know! It sems very powerful as many simple things often are.
I love when you reveal Donna in your essays. Beautifully written with an important message.
People used to ask me if my hair was permed. Nope. All natural curls and frizz. Haha.
Thank you so much Sweetie!
You have amazing hair!
Better now with keratin.
So amazingly fitting for today and everyday!
I am continually learning who I am and how to become the best me!
Happy Mother’s Day, Donna!
Thank you Carrie, you too❤️
This is very fitting today, given that it's Mother's Day. I know who I am and have been whether he's here or not.
And yes, would you believe I used to get perms as a teenager? And I have naturally curly hair!! Wth?
We need pics of you and Donna with perms.
I'll try to dig one up! I kinda looked like you did on Seinfeld, except much less beautiful and my hair was blonde.
What’s with the self deprecation? You’re a knock out.
Thanks Hon, as are you💕
Oh boy, that's a deep vault I'd have to dig through 🤣
I'm sure it takes a lot of time to come to grips with who you are after a loss like that so it's wonderful to hear this.
We did strange things back in the day, including perm already curly hair🤣
Never satisfied with what we have, hey?

Thanks Renee, it's lovely to see you here. There is never any pressure to drop in❤️
Thank you, dear One. ❤️
