Love this insight: "I write about everything because what matters is not the what, but the how, and I write with heart.". Really hit home for me, great piece Danny!!
Thank you AJ, switching the focus to the right question made a big difference , it brought clarity to my path. This can certainly be applied to other aspects of life: asking the right questions, and performing with heart.
“Readers can smell with their eyes, and they’ll know if what you’re telling is from the heart or if it’s just BS, and I can assure you that readers will choose a technically weak story over great BS, as long as the writer had bleed to the paper, metaphorically speaking, both the blood and the paper.” Love this!

Really enjoyed this deeply honest, vulnerable article, Danny. So relatable.
“What do you write about?”
I write about everything because what matters is not the what, but the how, and I write with heart.
I write about everything, as long as it has meaning to me, and I help people do the same."

Thank you Nic, it means a lot knowing this! :)
As someone who also writes about parenting, this last paragraph was powerful
Thank you Karena! To be honest, it gets easier to write from the heart when the topic are the people we love the most! :)
Such a truism.
Awww, Danny, I loved this essay.
"Narrow down Danny, you have to narrow down. Aim to the center, there’s where the heart rests, there’s where the heart beats. At the core."
Keep writing with your heart. 😌
“Look at me, I’m so special!”, my eyes scream in silence.
I hate this, but I can’t help it, because they are both true.
This hit home. I can totally relate to subconsciously devaluing my own work because I didn't know how to wrap it up in a bow for people.
As a fellow heart-forward human being, thank you for writing this.
