Getaways!! We all NEED them

Heyy Divas!!

Life sure has been crazy, huh?!

I tell ya if it is not one thing its another. We have weight issues, money issues, relationship issues, family drama, back biting wanna be girlfriends and lets not leave out the kids. Geeesh, I am tired and frazzled from naming all that stuff..  Key word in that sentence is stuff. I am learning to navigate through my own cloudiness of a brain to find Peace and Joy. I heard on Oprah that, she rather have joy than happiness any day. I am finding out that I agree with her totally.

I keep saying to myself I just want to be happy, I just want to be happy. But predetermined by who? God, says child you are living that should make you happy. Our Boss says, at least your working, that should make you happy. Our spouses or loved one says, I am home with you at all times that should make you happy. Our family says we haven't asked you for a favor or for a small loan in a while, that should make you happy. The scale says we haven't tipped our highest weight point yet, that should make you happy. But yet, we still aren't satisfied. I wonder is happiness and satisfaction connected. I see that happiness can be turned to sadness without warning and if you are satisfied, you can become highly pissed off at the drop of the hat, but if you have JOY, oh boy, can anyone take your JOY away?!

I have a long commute to work, and during that hour and some change drive, my mind escapes on its own getaway. I think my mind goes to some money making boot camp  because all I can think about is how can I make more money through having businesses. (Not in I am rich kinda way, but girl, you better come up with something to pay the mortgage kinda way!) I know one of my brilliant ideas will sky rocket, and one of my worries will be lifted, but through my mind craze session, I look up at the nice blue sky out peaks a small rainbow, and behold peace over flows me, as if I was on a beach with a nice drink sipping away.

I read something on Facebook today it says:

I said Ohhh, God is telling a sistah something. And believe me I am listening!

While our minds may escape to a lovely hideaway, our physical nature needs the same. I found this company online last week their are called Affordable Getaways and their on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AffordableGetaways. They have reasonable destinations at great deals and promotions that you truly can't pass up! I just won a free 3 Days/ 2 Night stay in Hilton Head Island, SC and I am so excited, I need to GETAWAY again! 

I am learning Hard work pays off, dedication pays off, faith pays off, truth pays off, believing in our selves pays off, and knowing God pays off! I say we need to keep this blog in our memory bank, so when life seems unbearable, lets getaway! When the family is irking the mess out of us, lets getaway! When our spouse or partner works our nerves to the out most, lets grab our gal divas and lets getaway!

Do you have a favorite getaway spot or know a deal that you will like to share please leave a comment?

Until next time Divas-- Two Snaps!~~

A DIVAFIED HUSTLA$$ Are you one?

Heyyy My Divas!!!!

One thing I wanted to hit on seriously is every DIVA needs to have some sort of Hustle. Whether it is a good paying career, a nice or comfortable job, or a bangin' business, WE need to do have something substantial going on and let me explain why?

There are four ways people make money. The 1st way is being an employee. 80% of Americans eat, live and die in this category and that maybe OK for them but not for me. The 2nd way is a self-employed individual. These are doctors or lawyers, hairdressers, even though they can potentially make a great deal of money, they have to be there physically to make it. Meaning if they don't work, they don't get paid! The 3rd way is a business owner. These are people that own a business or a system that will run self sufficiently even when the owner is not present or involved. (I ENCOURAGE EVERY DIVA TO FIND A HOBBY, CRAFT, or BUSINESS THAT YOU CAN BE THE OWNER OF!) And the last way is an investor. Money works 24/7. It may not flow 24/7 through our pockets but it most certainly flows why not capitalize on it.

I own 3 businesses. I promote financial independence within our communities. I make sure our families and communities are properly protected, I help them to create a plan to become debt free, and I also teach about investments, retirements and really how money works visit my web site or message me for any additional questions http://www.primerica.com/pduson.

I have a jewelry line that I love tremendously! Its called Mo-La Dazzled. Visit https://www.facebook.com/MoLaDazzled or http://moladazzled.miiduu.com/ to preview any of the jewelry or to make a purchase.

I have an event planning business and I also work full time. I shared all this with you, because regardless of the election tomorrow, us as WOMEN need to empower, motivate, and educate our selves in being business owners and investors. We are smart, strong and money savvy, there is no reason why our net worth is less than man only because they are a tad bit more knowledgeable in investments than we are. I plan to change that. The average Africa American Household is net worth to be $4.995, but our counter parts are worth from $7,000 to $121,000. What is wrong with this scenario?? I plan to change that also. Having a licensed professional in every household is a start then a financial game plan is second. Again contact me to learn more about the game plan.

I encourage my Divas out there to make a plan, start a hustle, familiarize yourself with terms and the investment market and if you need my help, please REACH OUT!

I am declaring with my Divas out there that I will work my hardest and my best to become financially set, self sufficient and a true DIVAFIED HUSTLA? How about u??

I am thinking about upgrading to the true DIVA BOSS status. I work hard enough, I think I deserve it.

Which do you prefer?
