THIS IS YOUR YEAR TO START A NEW MINDSET, CAREER AND EDUCATIONAL GOALS.

QUEEN'S NOTES

Happy New Year, PINK Diamonds!! It is 2023! This year the theme is 'New Me in 2023!" This is your year if you did not do it in 2022! Do not think you are being selfish for doing you. Or using the pronoun "Me" is a bad thing! No! You cannot wait another year to do it! This is the year to say "It's all about ME in 2023!" I know it's not easy to do things only for yourself when all you do is to help others You must take baby steps towards doing things for YOU! But it will be worth every single step once you geet started

I know that you can do it! I totally understand it is hard for me! I am 54 years old and there are many unfulfilled dreams I have not achieved because I have not devoted enough "Me Time" to get them done. It's a "New Me in 2023!" I will no longer devote all of my time to other people's brands without working on my own It is time for me to SHINE resplendently as I have told others for the last 13 years! If you feel like I do then get yourself together, make a plan of action, and live your best LIFE! Let me know how your year goes! I want to cheer you along the way! Just like a diamond you shine resplendently Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know you are already FLAWLESS! I bid you love, laughter, and light!

QUEEN DIVA

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU STAY FAITHFUL TO WHAT YOU START.

13 years ago I had no idea when I posted my first blog post "Walk In Love" that I would have a podcast, books, a YouTube channel, and a women's empowerment movement. I was merely releasing thoughts in my head that I was compelled to share online in my blog. There is much to be said about being faithful to what you start for you never know where it will lead you.

Prayer and Meditation it the best thing to do for your peace daily.

I have learned over the years to keep my peace I must pray and meditate daily. There's something about being still, quiet, and praying to my Heavenly Father that gives me great joy to start my day. I have to admit lately I have been petitioning for a few things I hope will come to pass. Other times I vent my frustrations about my life and the pace it's going. LOL! But many times I just sit or lay down in silence and be completely still. I may hear the fan spinning overhead or birds singing outside my window or sometimes my own heartbeat I try my best to think on good things and meditate on them before I start my day no matter what time I wake up. It has helped me tremendously. It took some time for me to get to this point because I used to wait until the last minute and rush. Now I get up earlier. pray, meditate and begin another day of my fantabulous life.

The new name on my YouTube Channel is Queen Diva!

I am so excited to announce that my new name on my YouTube Channel is Queen Diva this year! After years of being on hiatus, I have decided to bring new programming for my viewers to watch starting with Shorts! "I have been going back and forth about what my content should be on this channel. But after having many tireless days of reading in media, publicity, and business journals they all were strongly suggesting that I become more active in sharing what I love and am good at doing on my YouTube Channel , " says Queen Diva Stay tuned for new shorts and performance videos on this channel. In the meantime go to our YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/@QueenDiva and comment, like and subscribe today!

YOUR VOICE MATTERS SO TAKE THE TIME DAILY TO SHARE WHAT

January 2023 Diva's Diamonds: "Focused in 2023!

This is your year to be focused and free in 2023! How do you do that? After years of helping everyone and their mama, it's time for you to proclaim "New Me in 2023!" Get focused! Once you take the time for yourself! Make and write clear goals of what you want to achieve this year and do not take no for an answer to get what you want to get done. Use all of the energy you put into everyone else's dreams and goals into yourself! Be selfish for once in your life and proclaim, "It's My Time To Shine!" Shine resplendently when you do! It's hard to think about yourself when your husband, wife, mother, sister, brother, auntie, and Pookie and the gang need you to cook, write, sew, plan events, clean drive, and promoter their dreams. I understand I am right there with you! You have to master the art of saying NO! Then master saying YES for yourself! You can totally do this! Just one No to others at a time! LOL! I believe in you! Just like a diamond you shine resplendently keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know you are already FLAWLESS! I bid you love, laughter, and light!
