Dear friends, family, and my community- This is the most vulnerable outreach of my life. Please take a few minutes to read until the end for a nice surprise as a thank you for your time, and for helping to share my campaign. I am a very private person, which makes this an immensely difficult and vulnerable story to tell. I've been gathering the courage to create a GoFundMe campaign for months, and writing it for weeks. Today I take a leap of faith as I share this with you... ...If you're not able to donate, the most valuable thing you can do is share this with your network of friends, family, colleagues- anyone you feel comfortable sharing this with, so they can share it too. I'll include a link in the campaign sometime this weekend for anyone who could benefit from the resources that helped me. Thanks so much! Love, Daina https://gofund.me/a97a5c17 See more

Snow day! As per my Chinese New Year fortune cookie messages, I’m deviating from routine this morning, with aesthetic If you’re looking for some sea salty adventure reads this weekend, I highly recommend Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebi. Her amazing book led me to the one I’m reading now, Swell by Liz Clark. I love that it was Aebi’s story that inspired Clark to realize her dream of sailing the world years later Yay to all the rebels breaking free of social norms to follow their hearts, inspiring others to pursue their dreams too. Against all odds and logic, limitations are a matter of shifting perspective.
