Avid Diva - teachings for your new life

My FAMILY keeps me alive.  They make me happy, they remind me where I come from and they give me a very different perspective on life.  I was born into a FAMILY. That does not mean that my opinion is similar to theirs.  In fact, sometimes, my opinions are exactly opposite.  And that is ok.  One of the most important things about FAMILY is that you love each other and accept each others differences.

I have a daughter.  She is beautiful and smart and when I was pregnant, I asked God for a smart, beautiful, independent daughter.  He did listen to me.  And sometimes, I don’t agree with her either.  And that is ok, she needs to have her own personality.  And lets be honest:  how interesting would the world be if everyone has the same exact opinion?

There are no coincidences in life.  The theme for this week is SURPRISES and I started the week with no Internet access.  I picked the themes four weeks ago, so, again, there are no coincidences.

So the message today is short, sweet and three days late:  what are you doing to add SURPRISES to your life?  And what do you do when something SURPRISES you?  Do you take advantage of the opportunity or do you run away and hide?  Think about it.

The theme of this week is LOVE and the message is simple:  LOVE yourself first in order to love anybody else. 

We have heard it so many times.  And yet, we are not listening.  How do I know?  Look around you.  If we LOVED ourselves, there would be no physical or mental abuse.  I’m not only talking about those being abused, but about the abusers as well.  If you LOVE yourself, you know what you are worth and you don’t need to prove it to anyone.  If you LOVE yourself, there is no need to gossip or put others down because you know better.  If you LOVE yourself, you do not need to bully people into loving you.

It goes without saying that if you LOVE yourself, you recognize when someone is not treating you properly and you can get out before the second or third incident.

Learn to LOVE yourself.  Learn to nurture your body, mind and soul first.  Do it and everything else will fall into place.

The word of the week is HONESTY.

And today’s message is short and sweet:  what do you want?  Honestly, what do you want out of life?

I want to know your HONEST opinion.

Let me know.
