Dakota Soulshine came to me after years of stewing, not knowing why restless days and sleepless nights carved an entity I fell in love with. Dakota is me because of my roots, but Soulshine represents anyone willing to journey towards self-love.

We all embody worlds inside, breathing. Soulshiners believe their internal lights can radiate what is most important, which always and forever will be, love.

I try to love more each day, I swear, but I can detour with dirty pleasures and crash into self-sabotage... meet my best frenemy #Dacoda Moonshine who tests Fun's limits, must remind her to pump the brakes... Greetings and welcome #Frau Chaz, the teacher inside who deeply desires a road trip to betterment, intent to rev up with more purpose.

While auto mode worked fine for most of my life, I’m ready to switch gears and drive.

Soulshine Driver's Course

Be Real: STOP and check in

Be Raw: IDLE with yourself

Be You: ROAR with confidence

I seem to be stuck in the Raw Stage. This site is me revving up to ROAR.

Be Real, Be Raw, Be You

Soulshine = Awareness + Awakening

STOP ... check in with yourself.

Take breaths in your day with purpose.

Be honest about where you are in life.

IDLE... get to know yourself, date yourself, ask yourself questions, and expect the most honest, raw answers.

ROAR... absorb and soar with the feeling of being your most authentic self. May you enjoy the love and abundance you deserve.

Be Real, Be Raw, Be You is a sense of well-being that it’s okay to be you, all of you, that you feel comfortable being, that you enter each episode of your life as your authentic self.

It’s a mantra you can repeat when facing a challenge, as slight as an encounter, or as stalwart as changing the direction of your life.

It’s a way to check in with the Soulshine Driver’s Course.

Be Real: STOP and see if your patterned behavior is benefitting you. Am I stuck in rote thinking?

Be Raw: IDLE in the process of getting to know yourself again and ask for honest answers. What do I want?

Be You: ROAR with newfound confidence that you’ve created trajectory towards achieving your dreams. How far can I go?

Your life reflects what you want because you bring it towards you with intention, whether you realize it or not.

What IF you realized it? What IF you stepped towards your intentions every minute of every day?

How powerful you could be . . .

Be Real, Be Raw, Be You

Who is Dacoda Moonshine?

She keeps life fun and unpredictable as Dakota Soulshine’s devilish side who’s been around for a long time and defined much of her past and can easily influence her present, but Dacoda’s power is dwindling, or rather redirecting. She can bring reminders of regret yes, but progress more importantly. #dacodamoonshine #entertainment #delight #funlove

Who is Frau Chaz?

Frau Chaz is the influencer who raises an eyebrow when Dacoda Moonshine tries to sabotage Dakota Soulshine’s internal progress. She instructs her to stay focused on creating her world. She wishes she would remember to defend her spirit more readily, but a wish is only a whisper and sometimes the teacher needs to shout. #frauchaz #education #enlight #toughlove

Where did she come from?

Chasity Wilde grew up in several little houses on the prairie. Family was neighbors, neighbors were family, and everyone knew everything. Money scant and mind set, this small-town girl didn’t explore much beyond her rural radius, until a twist of fate fulfilled the childhood fantasy she had forgotten and found herself hobnobbing in New York City for a decade after college. She returned to her midwestern roots, planting herself in Paha Sapa, the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota.

Chasity wrote reviews, news, advertorial and philanthropic pieces at a small magazine in New York City, a few articles in South Dakota magazines and newspapers since then, website content for a media company, newsletter content/design for her local Habitat for Humanity, elementary school newsletters signed PTA Pres, local spoken narrative essays, and one finished pivotal poem. She’s currently working on a TEDx talk alongside memoir-esque self-empowerment nonfiction, while whittling her characters for several children’s books, as the adult fiction simmers, and always playing with poetry.

She likes to credit the universe for handing her these ideas and characters and their ever-expanding worlds, but maybe someday she will admit she conjures them by spending time with her Self, getting to know her heart, hence her gang of energy ready to rock because finally, so is she.

she's a creator,

and a connecter,

and a mirror

she's a lover of fun, and cool people

she digs crafty composition and saxophone solos

she's partied from farmhouse to penthouse

she drinks coffee and colors pictures

she lolly gags, and simmers

she finally believes a universe exists for her,

if only she can wrangle her guts to commit ...


Thank you for visiting my site and my blog! Bring your friends next time!

Best, Chasity
