THE DIVA IS BACK

I've been gone a long time, but found myself in the process. I have surrounded myself with postive people and in turn and positive myself. I will not compromise myself for anyone, I will not keep from being who I am because someone doesn't approve.

I have a wonderful husband and great friends who keep me focused on the wonderful things in life. Next door, a couple moved in, who I believe was sent by the universe. I belive in "THE SECRET" and know that she was sent to me. We both agree that people come in to your life for a reason. If I was still depressed and thinking negatively, then I believe that would have been brought into my life, but because of my positive thouhts and I have found her. I won't write her name, or call her out, but she knows who she is.

Not only is she the nicest, most genuine, kindest person I know, but she is a DIVA too. She belives that a true DIVA wants others to feel as beautiful as she does, she wants others to embrace their confidence and love themselves for who they are.

So what brought this sudden post, well...... after getting Balboa's blog back on track, I received an email from the DIVA next door that she was in the paper. A reporter that she knows asked how she felt regarding the her experiences in the dancing and modeling industry. I won't show the link since her name is in it, but let me tell you....... SHE IS A DIVA. She belives that real beauty can't be bought, or applied, or sucked out. Real beauty comes from within, self-confidence only adds to your beauty, who YOU are makes you beautiful.

So, basically I've been back for a while, but just now just to the blogging. I know I had some depressing posts a while back and some of you were concerned. All I can say is that I am happy and healthy, and look forward to posting about many more happy and joyous issues in the future.

Signature Style

So, as a DIVAS we need to identify our signature style..... Is it your perfume, the bracelets you wear, your style of shirts, your high heels, your hair, your eye makeup, ........

Well, my signature style is my curly black hair, my "Java Blue" handbag, my wardrobe based on shades of brown.

What do you LOVE about yourself that does not fit the "ideal" image of beauty?

I personally LOVE my nose. I was often made fun of in my youth for a big nose. Now I adore my nose with freckles, and in the summer the freckles become more dominant. I DO APPLY LOTS OF SUNSCREEN, but those freckles shine and I love it. They are a part of me, a part of what makes me beautiful!!!!!

Beauty is NOT stiletto high heels, pounds of foundation and concealer, fake body parts, size zero clothes,

Beauty IS confidence, power, independence, self-esteem, laughter. BEAUTY IS DIVAHOOD.

HOW TO LOOK GOOD NAKED

OH MY! I love the show,

I cried along with Layla as she described why she hated her body, her body image was morphed and she did not see her beauty.

Carson helped her to realize how beautiful she really is. The best part was when she was trying on different undergarments and realized she was sexy, beautiful, hot in her own body.

I JUST LOVE IT. I wish all girls and woman could love their bodies.

No more...

body criticizing,

starvation diets,

drastic surgery,

mothers criticizing their daughters,

no more comparing ourselves to magazine covers,

ENOUGH

We need to start loving our bodies, we are beautiful, gorgeous, powerful, confident women.
