when i was a teenager i told my mum i want to be rich

when i was a teenager i told my mum i want to be rich

this is how it went:

me: 'mum I want to be rich' mum: 'what is being rich to you?' me: 'being able to buy a smoothie every morning'

fast forward a few years:

I flew my mum to Bali We drank smoothies every day

fast forward a couple more years:

Making purees and smoothies for my son Building my family + business in Bali

by teenage Dani's standards, I'm very frickin rich by adult Dani's standards, I'm the richest woman in the world

not because of money, or even smoothies (sorry 15 yr old me)

but because my life is full of freedom. love. community.

and that's something I never ever thought possible

Ephesians 3:20 (iykyk)

ps - big up the mumsie Sue Yardley for supporting me in my pursuit to buy a smoothie everyday, I love you 🩷
