Women's Life empowerment: Was your Mother's Day Bitter sweet?

We are celebrating Mother's Day and of course I celebrate my mother and thought of my Grandmother. I was craving a juicy hug from my Grandma who is no longer here. So... I went to the mirror looked in my eyes and hugged myself. Your loved one lives in you! If you're missing a loved one and are finding it hard to celebrate this weekend. Express their love this week and they live on through your expression. You may drop a tear or few as I did but your environment is refreshed & life goes on.

No it's not easy and we will miss our loved ones greatly, however, I'm sure they wouldn't want you to spend your time mourning or reaching back in the past. If we must
look back for a moment let it be a time of giving thanks for their lives and the richness they left us.

Maybe you're one whose mother is here but she was not much of a mother. Don't spend your days filled with unforgiveness.

Unforgiveness is poison an individual takes expecting the other person to die

I'm not saying that you wish that the other person would die, however, you may feel that holding on to unforgiveness somehow punishes the other individual. On the contrary it robs you of life, puts a strain on your health, sabotages your relationships and more. Embrace a lifestyle of forgiveness and live!

I know what I'm talking about. Again, this is also not an easy thing to do, however,
you can start the journey. Ask Father God to help you, trust that He will , stay close and listen for His wisdom.

Well I would really like to hear how this post has helped you and if you'd like to share a memory of your loved one this Mother's day and even beyond feel free.

Happy Mother's Day!

Empowerment Diva speaks: Diva-tude (what's all the fuss?) "That's the way I see it"

OK this is going to be my approved posts under the category of "That's the way
I see it." Is that OK? Thanks.

Here lately I've been attending calls where these confident, power-women
seem to rant and rave about Divas. Some of whom I tend to believe could
fall in the same classification of a Diva in their own way.

How far should Gurus and other power figures in certain industries go in bashing
others. Aren't we often encouraged to be authentic? To be true to ourselves.

Wouldn't this also be called stereotyping?

Why do I care? I'm glad you asked. I'm the Dynamite "Authentic Life"
Empowerment Mentor, Coach, Trainer and Public speaker also known as
Empowerment Diva because I've carved a niche in the Empowerment area.
Some of the remarks I've heard doesn't describe others I know or me
at all. That tis why. "Sorry english majors!"

I currently have over 6200 friends/followers on twitter that know me
as Empowerment Diva and I haven't forced anyone to follow Empowerment "Diva"
which I feel goes to also show that the meaning of Diva and the essence
thereof is in the eye of the beholder. It is a conviction and not a moral
crusade when you attempt to persuade all within your sphere of influence
to avoid the Divas.

Why is it OK for some to bash certain categories of individuals and in
the same sentence teach us about being authentic, branding and such?
Could it be because of the double standard? Could it be because of the
$$$ and more $$$ that allows them to have the liberty to say what they
want to say?

The higher we rise and the greater influence we have
I feel that we have a responsibility to serve the greater cause and
that is to inspire all to represent their true essence. Be careful of
what you speak you may be mirroring your own soul. This doesn't
only apply to those who would rather spend their air waves speaking ill of
DIVAs but of all who have been given an opportunity to speak into the lives
of others.

Just as everyone has their own attitude at any given time, well frankly
I think Divas have Diva-tude at any given time and it is based on
each individual personality. Stop the stereo-type. Don't throw
Divas in a box especially where it concerns branding. It may be
a good idea to refrain from trying to influence everyone with your
own personal convictions simply because you can when it involves
shedding negativity on one.

That's the way I see it.
