Featured Excerpts

Two glimpses of the magic hiding in the chaos.

These excerpts represent the range — one rooted in domestic magic, one in spontaneous wonder.

Excerpt · Finding the Fun in Everyday Life
Preschool Bride
A four-year-old discovers mom's wedding dress in the back of a closet — and the split-second decision to stop saving it for "someday" creates a core memory neither of them will forget.
"She emerged from the closet dragging six feet of ivory silk behind her, with the veil lopsided over one eye and the biggest smile I had ever seen in my life..."

Excerpt · Finding the Fun in Everyday Life
Goggles in the Fountain
Fountain-diving with goggles, rescuing a deflated Darth Vader balloon, and a six-year-old's bottle-cap empire — proof that the best memories come from saying yes to the weird stuff.
"My son had been eyeing the fountain coins for twenty minutes. I had two choices: say no like a reasonable adult, or say yes and become part of the story..."

The Author

Meet Danielle

Mom of two. MBA. Former corporate professional at companies where nobody talked about energy or intuition. And then: ayahuasca retreat centers in Costa Rica, Kambo ceremonies, ten plant medicine sits, and a spiritual awakening she didn't see coming.

She's been the woman on the conference call and the woman in the ceremony. This book is where both versions meet.

Danielle writes for the woman who has done the vision boards, read the Brené Brown, made the gratitude lists — and still loses her sparkle on a Tuesday. Spiritual Candy doesn't teach. It witnesses. And in witnessing, it reminds.
