Happy Mother's Day!

I am in the United States but in places like Melbourn, Sydney, and Toyko it is Mother's Day already so I am sending out my Mother's Day wishes to all Mothers around the world now.

We would like to hear some great Mother/Daughter stories so take a few moments and share some with us.

Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy your day for you have deserved it!

Hot Topic of the Month - June 2009

First, let me say how sorry I am that this month is so delayed. It is because of a good thing. I obtained one of my goals and I have been working on that project but I did not forget about the Divas.

This month continues the series on Balancing Your Life. We will be concentrating on Family. Family should be one of our top priorities yet so many people put their family on the "back burner" so to speak. Then one day they look up and the children are grown and/or they have no communication or established relationships. Alot of people say to themselves "I have time or maybe tomorrow" instead of realizing life is short and fast.

I can not stress the importance of taking "quality" time with your family whether it is just you and your partner or you and your children or a complete family with two parents and children. Everyone needs and wants attention and want to feel love and even needed. Are you devoting enough time to your family?

Post the things that you do with your family. You may have suggestions that others could use. Post things that are free or inexpensive so that others that may be on a tight budget may benefit from.

Hot Topic of the Month - May 2009

This month we start a series on Balancing Your Life. Balance in your life is so very important because without balance you can spread yourself to thin, work un-smart, and miss important time with family and friends.

I learned this concept many years ago and it has played an important part of keeping my life active, enjoyable, and together. My place of employment required that everyone that held certain job descriptions take Priority Management. Priority Management is a time management course. In this course it teaches you that planning of your time should include these six components of your life. The six components are Financial, Intellectual, Family, Physical, Social, and Spiritual. If you correctly plan your time and include all six components your life will be well adjusted, happy, healthy, and fulfilled. I have found this to be true because when I make and plan time for all six my life is at it best!

The financial part we covered in February, March and April. Intellectual, Family, Physical, and Social will be covered later this year. So we will cover Spiritual this month. What do I mean by spiritual? I mean how to live a spiritual life and what is involved in living a spiritual life. A spiritual life involves the folowing....

1) Drawing closer to a higher power (For example, in my case this means God!)
2) Seeking wisdom
3) Striving for growth
4) Deep connections with others
5) Tolerance and forgiveness of others

Making yourself a better person. Giving thought to your actions. Becoming the best you can be. Striving for gold. Or as Webster Dictionary states "characterized by the ascendancy of the spirit; showing much refinement of thought and feeling".

As you reflect on this I will add more in comments so look for updates by clicking on comments at the bottom of this post soon.
