😁 Greetings! I’m Dana, here from upstate South Carolina. I am on a healing journey from a 16-year abusive relationship, relearning to love myself in all the ways: mentally, spiritually, and physically. I’m a newbie Christian and recently participated in a Daniel Fast with a women's ministry I’m a member of. To say it was profound is an understatement... it completely opened my eyes to the power of living, plant-based foods, and I’m committed to making permanent lifestyle changes for myself. One major goal is also instilling these healthy habits in my kids. I have a daughter who is a dancer and athlete who needs high-quality fuel, and a son with PANS, which makes him incredibly sensitive to processed foods and environmental toxins. Finding clean, whole foods is vital for our entire household. My other goals are all about building a foundation of vitality, clean energy, and longevity to support this new chapter. I really want to learn creative ways to incorporate more raw, nutrient-dense foods into our daily routines to fuel our minds and bodies. When I’m not working as an educator and tutor, I do a lot for fun to stay grounded. I am also a newbie gardener—tending to my butterfly garden, sunflowers, and berry bushes, and I love nature photography, especially capturing sunrises and sunsets. At home, I stay busy keeping up with my family, my dog, free-ranging chickens, and a very large, lively pack of cats! I'm so glad to have found this community and look forward to connecting with you all. 💗🙏😁
