Your SMILE impacts
Dear World,
One week ago today, I sat on the island separating traffic flowing North, South, East, and West on 57th and Park Avenue.
I gleefully journaled and smiled at every passerby for over 45 minutes during the morning rush to work! From observing urgency and hearing tones of voice, to skeptical looks and a few honks with waves👋🏼, I vividly continue to see the 5 smiles that mirrored mine. Even as I type, I’m smiling with gratitude and joy.
You see, I chose this exact spot because FEAR and SAFETY merged, creating space for me to be ME!
💫I am the RADIANT being that smiles at everyone because WE ALL DESIRE to be seen, loved, heard, and valued!
🌟I am the COMPASSIONATE being that smiles at everyone because one smile can shift the course of another’s day!
✨I am the COURAGEOUS being that gave myself time, space, and FREEDOM to be as I journaled and fed my brain, body, soul, and heart an extra dose of trust and belief that MY CHOICES ARE THE BEST CHOICES FOR ME!
As I stood up from my proclaimed smiling stoop, I walked directly to Weill Cornell Walgreens and picked up myriads of pre and post-op meds for a surgery I’ve kept quiet.
For all reading, PLEASE lift your face up, lock eyes with a stranger, and SMILE! Yes, SMILE! As part of my rehab, smiling is mandatory! With each smile you are helping me heal, too!
When I’m feeling better, I promise to share the brilliance I’ve discovered about orthodontics, speech, processing, comprehension, and SO.MUCH.MORE!
Wishing everyone a joyous day filled with an abundance of smiles!
Love,
Dana💛🚀

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT DEED®!
My son Samuel who is 9 years old had his very first live group call ever. When he was on the call, in his own words, he said to me he felt very nervous and shy. His feelings changed from anxious to feeling confident! Dana creates a sacred space for you to be seen and heard that supported not only my son but me as well to feel safe. For myself my first group call with Dana was so powerful. As she asked us all what compassion means to us she opened up a part of me I didn’t realize needed major attention. I became aware of the areas I get to give more focus and attention to which were self love and self acceptance. My one on one call with Dana was so heart centering. She created a space of pure unconditional love to be who you are, where you are, now. After our call ended I was left feeling and knowing that I was more than deserving to have a loving, joy fulfilling life! Dana is the sunlight and rainbows in this world. She is incredibly supportive and an uplifting influencer!
You are powerful, Dana! We are blessed because of the work you bring to the world. Thank you Dana!
Love,
Ashley and Samuel (age 9)
