Best View
This site was created on a desktop and is set up to look best on a desktop or tablet. You can, of course, view it on a phone but that may be troublesome. I havenβt viewed/tested it on mobile.
Welcome and Warning
So, again, welcome to my organized chaos! Iβm glad you stopped by, truly I am. I would be remiss, however, if I didnβt attempt to make it clear that this website is not here to please anyone but myself. You may run across something that doesnβt appeal to you – and thatβs perfectly acceptable. Iβm not in this to change your mind, be an influencer or a people pleaser. You are under no obligation to agree with me, click on a link or even stick around.
Not a Role Model
Iβm not rich and famous nor am I striving to be. I should under no circumstances be considered a role model as Iβm still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. Mine is not a success story yet for some reason a lot of people ask me for advice – I give that freely yet expect you to live your own life and make your own decisions and learn from your mistakes as well as other peoples. Take me seriously or not, I usually donβt.
Origin of my Domain Name
I had a business website with this domain name-I did consulting work for many years (graphic design, websites, running social media, putting together events and other random junk) and I gave it all up and walked away from it. What does one do with a website branded with their own name that is not a portfolio or business destination? Kinda making it up as I go π. My current brand is Chaos.
Content to Expect
I like to read, game, listen to music, watch movies and contemplate the madness of the world and the crazy stupid shit that keeps me up at night. So I plan on sharing those kinds of things. Iβm also a caretaker of my grandmother who has dementia and a semi caretaker for my mother who has fibromyalgia. When it comes to myself, I avoid the hospital like itβs on fire but am pretty sure Iβm on the path to some serious mental and physical crap of my own. Such is life.
It’s hard for me to sit idle, so while chillin with my grandma, I make magnets out of random materials. I have over 300 of them at the moment and so really need to start selling them π€£. It’s a lil time consuming posting them online, but they are being slowly added to my new shop on Etsy. Artisans are some of my favorite people so when I run across awesome stuff I share links.
Random Info About Me
Iβm an idea person who hates it when people say someone should do that yet they take no action on it. When someone tells me βyou canβt do thatβ I often prove them wrong and do it. If someone asks me Why? I say Why not? I have done some epic shit in my life while also struggling with major demons and phobias. Some people would also say the majority of my day to day life is boring yet I am never bored. Iβm an extroverted introvert who happens to be Sagittarius – quite the contradiction in itself if you know anything about the sign. I was born GenX and the definition of a GenX’r is pretty much spot on. My mom is often a child to me and my child has often been more adult than me. Basically, Iβm a walking contradiction and highly unpredictable.
The Struggle of “Speaking My Truth”
The main thing Iβve been struggling with while getting all of the pieces put in place for this shiny new βrebrandedβ danelahiggins.com is the damn thing has my name all over it π€. I want to be open and honest, but if people that I left behind when I ghosted the world (there IS life after Facebook) run across it, are they going to be pissed if I say what I want or need to say? Thatβs a tricksy question to be sure. Telling my story with no names is a simple thing, yet how private is that to those who know me irl. Idkβ¦ all I can say at this time is sorry, not sorry. Iβll try to behave, but make no promises.
About That Thing I Didn’t Acknowledge
I used to be pretty up to date on all the things that were hot topics and on point with holidays and what notβ¦ seriously I donβt have the energy or time for all that anymore. If Iβm not updating my social icons to reflect support for an issue or cause itβs not because I donβt support an issue or cause β¦ if it harms none and is something that contributes to the overall health and wellbeing of the earth or itβs many forms of diverse people then Iβm all for it. Count me in. Just donβt expect me to know about it or have the capacity to promote it. If you feel the need, remind me about it and weβll go from there.
In Summary
Thatβs all Iβve got for now which is a lot and probably too much but alas, itβs that time of night when if I start writing something it can transform from a simple statement to an essay. If you read through this, thanks! You deserve a cookie…sending you one through the interwebs mentally right now!
