"Respecting others is the way my parents raised me since I was a little girl. So consideration and respect are something that is fundamental to me, and it is one of my personal values. That is why it is very important to me that we respect each other here as well."
The last update I made on this page: May 27, 2026
I created danaelias.com as a safe haven for those who are tired of just surviving. My blog is a space for mindful living. It is a place where you can talk to each other and share your experiences and opinions. But in order to keep the atmosphere here as soft and cozy as a cashmere sweater for all of us, I, like millions of other websites in the world, had to put together a few simple guidelines for how to treat each other. 😉
The Mindset: Kindness over "Being Right"
As I mentioned in my About Me page, if you want to argue that a horse has two legs, I understand. But please, enjoy that ride somewhere else, if you want to fight for it like hell.
Be Respectful: Treat other community members with the same grace you’d like to receive. No insults, no hate speech, no drama.
Be Constructive: Share your experiences, recipes, and tips in a way that helps others grow.
Stay Present: Keep your comments relevant to the topic we’re discussing.
Protecting the Community Peace (What doesn't belong here)
To protect our "sisters" and the calm energy of this blog, I don’t allow:
Bullying, harassment, or threats of any kind.
Discrimination based on race, religion, gender, or who you love.
Spam, scams, or posting the same link over and over.
Impersonating others. Be yourself, you are enough, and don't need a label!
Your Privacy & Safety is Important to Me
Just as you wouldn't give your house keys to a stranger, be mindful of what you share online.
Keep it Private: Please don’t post your phone number, home address, or sensitive details in the comments.
Stay Safe: If you decide to meet someone from this community in person, do so in a public place and tell a friend, as you would do in any other situation.
Trust your Gut: If someone in the comments asks you for money or behaves suspiciously, please report it to me immediately via Contact. (And of course, don't send money to anyone) I really don't like fraud and frauders who act like that. I will appreciate that, because it's important for me to keep this space "clear".
Keeping the Balance (Moderation)
I personally look after this space. To keep it healthy for all of us, I reserve the right to:
Edit, hide, or remove comments that disrupt our peace and violate community guidelines or legal district restrictions.
Pause or close accounts that repeatedly ignore these guidelines.
Appeals: If you feel I’ve made a mistake (I’m not a guru, I make mess-ups too! 🙈), write to me via the form here, and we’ll talk about it.
I Believe Words Have Power (Content Ownership)
When you post a comment here, you’re adding to the story of this blog.
Sharing is Caring: By posting, you allow me to show your words to the rest of the community.
Respect the Craft: Only post things that belong to you, and always give credit where it’s due.
A Note on Partnerships
Sometimes you’ll see me recommending a brand or a product. I will always label these clearly. If you see other users posting links, please remember I do not verify those - please always use your own judgment before making a click. Only the lines I provide directly in the article are safe and secure.
Final Words
Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for choosing kindness and for helping me keep this space mindful and honest.
I’m glad you’re here.💖
With love,
Dana Elias
