Danne is a co-author of 4 books, including "Celebrating Life Beyond Domestic Violence.” She is a mother and a former homeschooling mother of adult children who Contribute significantly to this planet. She is the grandmother to Aiden and Zakariah and a domestic violence survivor who promotes healing through forgiveness.
However, this is a weighty topic that we will share and help heal from. Our stories are for so many others that hear them and gain strength.
Danne wants to leave you with three key takeaways:
- Forgive so you can begin the healing process because if you don’t, you’ll bleed on people who didn’t cut you.
Don’t be afraid to love yourself.
Don’t fear loving again but next time take your brain with your heart!
