DANI’S YOGA STORY:
In 2009, I woke from sleep and suddenly had lost all feeling from my hands up to the elbow and from my toes up to my knees. I could not walk. I was diagnosed with a severe vitamin B12 deficiency. The deficiency caused massive nerve damage. I saw countless doctors and sought out help from hospitals all over the world for help with no success. Both mind and body lost functionality and no help from any physical therapist was of any use. So after waiting for months for help from doctors (with no ability to take care of myself at all) I opened up a book that I refer to as the bible, B.K.S. Iyengar’s “Light On Yoga,” and reread the opening to the book. Iyengar wrote of his childhood filled with major health problems that labeled him as severely disabled. Iyengar took ownership of his own life and hit the yoga mat in India and went from disabled to the most famous yogi still to this day. After reading, I hit the mat. I conquered the initial frustration of going from very experienced yogi with the ability to do guru level asanas to a person with no control or use of the body with enormous success. I kept hitting the mat every day and in 4 months I could walk normally and do many asanas. My B12 deficiency is part of my life every day. Every day I hit the mat (with complete loss of feeling in the limbs) and then walk with beautiful prana radiating from my body and no one would ever know.

To define what I do in this context requires a short introduction about me, my upbringing, and some history. I will use this platform to tell you what lagniappe is.

 "Lagniappe: a little something extra given with a purchase. A premium. This tradition is still observed in New Orleans culture and dates back to Normandy, France and Acadia, Canada. When driven out by the British the Acadians brought to New Orleans this generous practice. In selling grain to customers it was placed in a woolen cloth, known as nappe.To compensate the buyer for grain caught in the nappe the seller would through in a couple handfuls from his supply without charge saying, "c'est pour la nappe," meaning that which was caught in the cloth. By giving this extra service to the purchaser a satisfied and repeat customer was often assured. Lagniappe is a word that is heard frequently in New Orleans. A number of business people still give it to their customers." 

To me, lagniappe means everything else or everything but the kitchen sink. I create, evaluate, or fix your website, design graphics for the web and for print (logos, any correspondence or promotional materials), speed up your computers, create social networking campaigns, set and teach you how to blog, and get attention via thinking outside of the box. If you need someone to help you design your workplace, teach you how to use your technology, cook a great meal for a party, or set up your Blackberry, I AM your woman. 

There is a solution for every problem and there is a way around costs. What I require is some flexibility and your trust to take a breath and a leap. If you do not like something I am working on, give me your feedback. The best work is done when a synergy exists between a client and myself. I want to hear your feedback and make changes.I do not take it personally. When something needs tweaking. For me, this is an opportunity to learn, connect, and work as a team to be positive that the result is what YOU want and need.

Most importantly, I empower my clients to use and be comfortable with their technology so they can help themselves and keep their technology sustainable.
