hey y'all!

I'm Danie - an educator by trade and a writer by heart. Whether it's my accent or my over-the-top attitude, there's no denying I'm an Alabama gal; it naturally translates into my writing.

 

With a passion for everywhere and everything, I'm a textbook Enneagram type 7 who's trying to find balance and intersection in my passion for Jesus, my love for the South, and my desire for systemic change. After graduating from the University of Alabama in 2018, my heart for writing took an unexpected turn, leading me into a love for editing and teaching. As I navigated this change in scenery, I realized my niche hadn't really changed at all - people have always been the center of my love for journalism, storytelling, and the written word.

 

I love writing and reading stories by people, about people, and for people. Even more, I've noticed, I love to share this heart with people. Whether I I find myself behind the scenes as an editor, at center stage as a teacher or fingers-at-the-ready as a writer, I'm eager to tell, share, and encourage stories.

So this is a space dedicated to writing. While all the words are mine, I share stories, quotes and ideas that  impact me. This is my online journal, a place where I talk to God about the ways He's talking to me and invite you to join me for the journey.

 

I can't wait to see how our paths might cross. Thanks for dropping in and being part of this adventure-filled story.

Danie Waddell-Cranford

writer. adventurer. Daughter. probably laughing.

other tidbits:

  • I'm married to the same boy I first kissed as a freshman in high school. He's sweet and selfless and laughs at all my jokes. I'm not sure how or why he chose me, but I sure am glad he did.

  • I want to go everywhere. My wanderlust is insatiable.

  • I write because it's my lifeblood. I know Jesus deeper and better because of it.

  • Football season is year-round. Roll Tide.

  • Alabama is home, but NYC has my heart.

  • I once made a man shake in fear during a heated game of Cranium. My competitiveness knows no limit.

  • I love personality tests (Enneagram 7w6, ENFP, 3-way tie for quality time/physical touch/words of affirmation).
