Danielle LaPorte: Sacred Dramatic

Daily | July 7th, 2008

    Danielle LaPorte

    Wife and Mama. Writer. Philanthropist.

    Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Carrie & Danielle, Inc. Ran my own strategic communications agency for ten years to “promote visionary people and projects.” Former Executive Director of a DC-based think tank where I helped lead some very smart analysts to think about very big stuff. Helped run the Department of Social Inventions for The Body Shop Canada and championed campaigns to save rain forests, aid Romanian orphans, and rock the vote. Aspiring philanthropist.

    FASHION + SENSUALITY:

    Cowboy boots. Kimonos. Heavy linen. No black. No red. Donna Karan. Obakki in Vancouver. Want Yosh to create a signature fragrance for me (heavy on the honey and spice). Listen to Jim Morrison’s An American Prayer in the dark.

    RELATIONSHIPS + COMMUNCATION:

    Hunky Firefighter husband, magical 4-year-old son, yellow Labrador, living in East Vancouver. Introverted Extrovert (not great at small talk.) Striving to send more hand written notes.

    SPIRIT + LEARNING…I Appreciate:

    “Love everyone, Trust few. Paddle your own canoe.” Don’t know who said that, but it works for me. Krishnamurti. Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Abraham Hicks. Tend to learn through obsession, then on to the next thing.

    I DESIRE: to live in a laid back monastery (with wireless hook up) and my best friends as neighbours.
    I APPRECIATE: tenderness, thank you notes, my MacBook.
    MY TO DO LIST: is never as important as I think it is.
    I SUPPORT: holistic birthing awareness, Women for Women International.

    Spirit:
    Sacred is philosophically and theologically curious, perpetually searching for or creating meaning. They are habitually reflective, looking for divine synchronicities and lessons in everything. Advisers, mavens, and teachers, they reliably appear at the scene of life’s big passages and events…Sacreds nourish themselves by retreating, and take great solace in privacy and solitude, ritual, and unbounded time. Look & Feel: Aesthetic is based more on feelings and stories than literal fashion—anything goes if it is deemed cherished. Asian and Eastern influences; attracted to heritages of many cultures. Lean toward simplistic or graceful design.
