Hey Reader,

I found a journal entry from three years ago.

It was scribbled, uneven, and kind of hard to read.
Not because of the pen, but because of the pain I was in when I wrote it.

There were a lot of questions in those pages.
​Why do I feel stuck? What am I even doing? Will I ever feel like myself again?

And reading it now—I didn’t feel shame.
I didn’t feel disconnected from her.

I felt so much love for her.

Because she was the one who chose to begin again.
Not loudly. Not all at once.
But gently.

She lit a candle one night.
She wrote a little gratitude.
She picked up a pen, even when it felt silly.
She started paying attention to small things—and they added up.

That version of me planted the first seeds of what would become
this entire mission.
This business.
This joy.

And maybe…you’re in that chapter right now.

Maybe you’re the version of you who’s asking the hard questions.
Who doesn’t feel clear yet. Who isn’t sure how to start again.

If that’s true—I just want to say this:

You don’t need to have it figured out.
You just need a starting place that feels like yours.

That’s what the Little Joys, Big Life Box is for.
Not a fix. Not a solution.
A doorway.

To reflection.
To calm.
To your own next chapter.

If you’re ready, it’s waiting for you.
And if you’re not ready yet, I hope you’ll still keep writing.

With love and belief in who you’re becoming,
Danette

P.S. If you’re somewhere in the middle right now—between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming—just know you’re not alone. The next version of you doesn’t need a full plan. It just needs a soft place to begin. That’s what I created this for, if and when you’re ready. 🧡
