Blog Post #1: “If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow we aren’t really living.” Gail Sheehy

Hello Internet, it’s me Danii Grimm--

I’ve been working my way through various social media networks (Twitter, Instagram, Younow, Youtube, etc...) these past months because I’m a creative soul just waiting to cut loose.  I aim to enjoy life, because life is far too short not to, and living in the moment is something that is important to me. AND to most importantly share with the few that might care--my journey. So Hi! I’m a quirky, weird, awkward little introvert who loves to adventure into nature JUST as much as I love to sit at home and game for hours.

I can kick it in Skyrim for hours because well, it’s a game that helps me relax despite it’s many bugs and the fact that I am still playing on a more than outdated console (PS3). What can I say? I love the landscapes Tamriel has to offer, but I’m not gonna lie--I am a little envious to those of you with PC gaming and mods---JUST WOW....the options and journies this game has to offer are ENDLESS. And I cannot emphasize this enough, THEY ARE ENDLESS, and wonderful. And creators put hours of work into this game, AND it’s mods so despite all the terrible things that can happen ----->
(LIKE for example picture this: You are a high leveled mage who has just returned home from a long journey of saving the world AGAIN--only to find that there are bandits at the homestead you built with your bare hands, NOT ONLY trying to rob you but also trying to ACTIVELY KILL your family and loved ones. Well, you win the battle but at what cost? Your husband is dead. “Life is short in skyrim.”  And there are no mods. These assholes killed your only marriageable companion. The epitome of being alone. Well, after you have a touching water funeral for your husband---mooooostly because you dont want his rotting carcass on your property to remind you of how you failed to save him--AND MONTHS of missions and coming to terms with your loss---You hear a voice in the distance.You don’t think very much of said voice because well....these NPC’s all have the same fucking voice in skyrim as well......but, WAIT.....THOSE LINES.......So you follow the voice and low and behold your lover is alive and well! with nooooo fucking clue to who you are. Great. Square fucking one. AND you can’t remarry without restarting. Okay then. You think--I can live in this world with him as my follower, even if it hurts that he doesn’t love me anymore--but it hurts....and eventually you release him....and then there is months of in game healing....AGAIN.)

----/> But despite shit like this happening (SUPER EMOTIONAL SHIT BTW IDGAF WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT IT NOT BEING REAL. IT WEIGHED HEAVY.) there are other really cool things that happen too. That I can’t really list for sake of spoiling the game. GO PLAY IT if you haven’t. If you have? KEEP playing, my god this game is beautiful. The aesthetics are to DIE for, (MOST) of the quests are interesting, the Easter eggs are really fuckin neat, and well the little polished touches are worth outweighing all the terrible if you ask me. Unless it’s Miraak, cos, well--fuck that guy.

Okay for those of you who are dying to know what an Introvert is I looked up the proper definition for you just so we’re straight and we can get that out of the way.
Of course everyone is different and I’m by no means absolutely textbook...Here to get a better idea:
Mostly, my own personal definition is this....Life has beaten me up and I just want to live life freely. Living life freely means doing things the way I’m used to doing them, and not being treaded on or judged for doing them. In other words, I’m picky with who I chose to share energy with because sharing energy is physically and emotionally draining. I’m sorry. It just is. I do enjoy the company of others--don’t get me wrong, it’s just well...you’ve got to make it to the V.I.P. list before you can enter the restricted area--if you catch my drift.....


Anyways, those of my social circle know that I’ve had a very trying journey to make me the person I am today. I try to avoid conflict unless I feel like a voice needs to be raised. I’m not afraid to tell people what I believe in or what I love--at the same time I will always hear a person out, EVEN if I do not believe in said opinion because honestly it’s hypocritical not to. Not only that, but I am a firm believer in you should learn something new every single day. It helps you grow in many ways than one, in with learning something new, change happens. And well, in my life there has been A LOT of change...
For example: I grew up most of my life on East side of this (fucked up) country (USA) and now I’ve moved mostly West. Settling in Arizona, was the biggest change in my life at the time--coming from Rhode Island. I went from coastal property to a land locked state. I went from humidity, to something I call “Hell” heat, but everyone else just calls DRY heat. And I became a mother. I then went on to graduate Mortuary School, and have some magnificently creepy skills I can utilize once I take my boards in the #death industry. My journey along the way has molded and shaped me and every day I CONTINUE to try and change and be better. To reach the goals that I set for MYSELF. 
We’ll save my life story for another blog post, but I want to continue on that theme of change. 
Recently I found out that I am consuming far far too much meat (OOPS!) but it just so happens, I am anemic and NEED the iron that’s efficiently absorbed into my body FROM meat (UH-shit) okay so what now? 
Change and balance. 
Always...change to meet the balance for the BETTER
I have always been fascinated by vegetarians/vegans but always thought to myself that I could never fully take the leap and commit to no meat foods or dairy. Well, I’m finding it very easy to cut out dairy, and soon will be switching to MOSTLY vegetarian in lifestyle except my family is adopting something that is know as FLEXITARIANISM. Basically, what it all boils down to is health and juggling good foods with the fatty acids that we will need  as well as the IRON that we require (PSST eat that shit with vitamin C...it will absorb more easily into your body)....SO. What the long and short of it is we’re going to be organically living off of nothing but grass fed beef or other meat, farm fresh fish, etc--BUT only once a week. 
Your body only really should need meat, once or so a week...so that is what we are aiming for. The rest of the time? We will be experimenting, and it will be hard--but I’ll take you guys with me on that journey and I will document everything (even any slip ups we might experience).

With that, I would like to end this particular post with this: I look forward to the positivity that comes out of the change in our diet. I look forward to having more energy to take more trails and to PLAY with my daughter.  And most of all I look forward to how much LONGER I can live by leading a truly healthy lifestyle.

Have any questions/comments? Drop a line on any of my social media or right here and I would be glad to address them in another blog post. Thanks for stopping by and in the meantime live every day like it’s your last and don’t let anyone stop you from being the best you there is on the way.
