Divalicious!!!


This is for all the ladies!!! I believe that there is a Diva inside each of us.
She might be pulling up to the school picking up the kids.
She maybe working in a nursing home feeding some hungry Senior.
Or maybe she is a crafter working from home putting it all together to sell in her Etsy store.
Diva's are not defined by what they do, but how they carry themselves.
It's the smile you are given and the head nob when walking through the supermarket.
It's the way she compliments other women when they are dressed to kill.
It's the way she takes something and makes it out of nothing. It's her ability to
laugh at herself. Diva's know who they are because they have taken time to know
themselves and are comfortable with it. They don't have to be anything more than
themselves! Ladies I celebrate each of you today! Go ahead and do your thang!!!!
he he he!!!

Vanessa, love the lady in pink! I admit it... true confession. I am 58 and work at home and yesterday a mambo came on the radio and I got up and danced around the room and imagined I was in a mambo country dancing in a cafe.. I think we all need to get up and dance now and again.. so what if someone see..the excuse can always be blamed on the diva inside of is.."it just had to come out!" I felt good for hours afterward... thinking I am never too old to mambo! xxxooo for a great day!!

you're a really uplifting person, i can tell! great post! and that woman speaks of "diva". i also like your illo's for "intricate" and for "babies." those babies are too cute!

Oh my, she is Diva-licious! My goodness, Glamour, Glamour! I just love it, and I might add, I have that body, although most days, I'm not feeling like a diva, but after this, I'll have to have a new attitude! :) You are all that!
Hugs and Happy Week!

Miss V, you don't lie! I had almost forgotten about that inner Diva. I have to let her out, let her shine. Because Ooh La La Diva said so! The next time I go to the grocery store or to school to pick up my kids, I think I'm going to put on my best sequined dress and sashay my way through the crowd! Haha! Watch out, world!
