At 56, lockdown, layoffs, and loss hit all at once. Losing everything was what finally sent me searching for where I came from, and what I found changed everything. I'm half Okinawan, half Japanese, third generation American, and I spent most of my life disconnected from my own roots. Now I explore ikigai and wabi sabi not from a book, but from the inside out.

Hi, I'm Dana! A taiko drummer, a thrifter, a grandma, and a woman just getting started at 61. This channel is my journey home. And an open invitation for anyone in the second half of life to find their way back to themselves. 🌸
