Let me start with the karmic and planetary scoop. Last year, I decided that I wanted to find an astrologer that I could consult with regularly, since my cherished astrologer went on sabbatical. 

 

I had readings with three different astro advisors. Every one of them started our session by saying, “Wow, it’s been a hard three years for you.” 

 

And I was like… I’m good! I’m resilient! I learned a lot! 

 

But, ya. I stacked it all up. A new marriage and a divorce within 3 years—loving but heartbreaking, of course. I moved homes three times (to be by the ocean, then to get away from mold, then a forced renovation.) 

 

There was health stuff from the mold and metals poisoning—I had so many IVs that my veins started closing down.

 

Within all of this, I’ve been rebuilding my business. 

 

I wanted to go deeper creatively, spiritually… so decided to restructure everything. At the same time, we lost a massive number of our subscriber list from a tech mishap (it was about 100,000 people, which took about 10 years to nurture—which is potentially devastating for an online business.) We recovered. There have been significant comings and goings on my team, which is always graceful but never easy. 

 

Then there was an arduous AF adventure with a Silicon Valley software developer and the stress circus that is the venture capital scene. We set out to build the Centering app—a new operating system for spiritual devotion, and…

 

things got slightly litigious. I cleaned out my savings to weather it all. Then I took the advice of two wisened, exited female tech-founders: “Danielle, do *not* raise VC. Keep control and keep your life.” Thank you, ladies.

 

In all of this, Bless & Release got birthed. Like a miracle baby. 

 

The full app is being built, very quietly, one line of code at a time. The current version is a little trinket. The full unfurl will be like a temple. For now, you can listen to + read the Bless book on it and do The Centering Practice.

 

So… ya… it’s been a very challenging, karma-cleansing three-year cycle. Expansion. My consciousness. My heart. My friendships. My Faith. I got a decade’s-worth of mystic and MBA curricula.

 

I’m grateful for all of it, and I’m grateful it’s overrr.
