Enjoy your holidays with those you love.  I hope it's special, I hope it's diva fabulous.  I hope it's amazing.  Live Well!!!!

Why is it that every time you finally get into the position to change your life something or someone stops you.  We work so hard to get in the right head space, move the major obstacles out the way and then like clockwork, someone casts a black cloud over our dream and dam, we are right back where we started, fighting self-doubt and frustration.

Well, this is what you do.  Stop listening to people who always have so much to say, yet nothing positive.  A poor man can't tell you how to become a millionaire, no more than Negative Nancy can provide you with sound advice. 

Start over, move the negative stuff out the way and fight to change your life.  Why?  Because you only have one life and if you keep playing around with knuckleheads and not focus on living well, it will be sadly over. 

So many people live their whole and never live it to the fullest.  Don't make that mistake, make the change while you still can.  Do what you need to do to bring happiness into your atmosphere.  Make it happen and oh, tell Negative Nancy, stop worrying about your life and get her own.

Diva Get Your Life is my new book and can be bought at bookstores near you including Barnes & Nobles, Amazon, and 13 other bookstores.  You won't want to miss it.  Check out my website at JoyceChaseEnterprises.com - stay connected.  Live Well Sisters!!!!

Living the dream or living a nightmare.  Hey, the one thing about life is that you get to choose.  It doesn't matter how your story begins, you may not have control as a child.  But how it ends is truly up to you.

There are no magic buttons in life.  We don't get to press a button and voila things are perfect.  If it were that easy I would have a few magic buttons, well shined and cared.  And, yes I would have a weight glued to the top of each one because I need a perfect life at all times okay.  Well, folks, that is not how it works.  Reality dictates that if we want to live well, we have to put in the work.  You have to come up with a plan to improve your circumstance and implement that plan.  Or you could do the zombie walk through life and wait and see how it turns out.  Do know there is a 99% change if you do this, you will be living a nightmare.  The choice is yours diva.

We don't give enough time to bonding with our sisters and building strong relationships.  I know life is busy, the kids, husband, career, etc.  However, I am a strong believer that you find time for things that are important to you.  The thing then is, to make spending time with your sisters important to you.

It doesn't matter whether these women are sisters by birth or women who have supported you along the way.  If the relationship is of any value to you, if you don't nurture it, like everything else that doesn't get attention - it will eventually go away.  In High School, we usually have about 20 girlfriends but by the time we hit 30, without effort - we are lucky to have one.

Every sister needs a sister.  Someone you can talk to when things are going great and when life is a challenge.  Bouncing ideas off of someone who has your best interest at heart is priceless.

If you are fortunate enough to have a few good sisters who have been with you through thick and thin, hold on to those relationships.  They don't come every day, and they don't last forever unless we work to make that so.

I can give you ten (10) good reasons why you can’t put your life on hold for anyone, and I mean anyone for any reason:

 1  Life is too short.

2  You don’t get the wasted time back.

3  While you’re putting your life on hold, your friend, boyfriend, or whoever is living their life.

4.  You deserve to live an awesome life.

5.  You deserve to live an awesome life today!

6.  Opportunities don’t last forever; you can’t afford to miss one chance to experience something 

     wonderful.

7.  Because you’re the master of your circumstance.  You know it’s up to you to make sure   

     your life rock.  Not later but right now.

8.  Despite your circumstance, you can choose to be happy.  Choose well because, if you’re   

     not happy after a while, you will be the only one left to blame.

9.  You can't afford to lose track of your purpose, your goals or your dreams.  Who could

     be that important.

   10.  At the end of your life, you don’t want to look back and say to yourself, I lost five years, 

          five days or five minutes waiting.  I’d rather say I lived 70, 80, 90 years on fire.

It's all about you girl.  That's right, I wrote a book about Diva's and how we live with fabulosity, honey.  Living a purposeful, happy life takes work.  But isn't that what we do.  Diva Get Your Life is currently in Barnes & Nobles.  It's coming to Amazon and 12 other bookstores including internationally.  Get your copy today.  It's amazing - if I do say so myself.

Have you ever met someone who was so nice you seemed to vibe, and then you feel a sense of jealousy from them?  You’re not sure because you’re always supportive of each other.  Why would they be jealous of you?  If this happens with a friend, you can always end the friendship.  Well, what if that person is a family member? A person you loved and believed they loved you.  How confusing is this notion?  It gets worse; the person wants to be you, they want your life.  Scared yet? You should be.  Any person that wants everything you have, your husband your children your life, is an empty person who is not happy with their life.

The level of toxicity can be staggering as they try to sabotage you with every step they take.  Speaking poorly about you to your family and friends, as they try to get closer to your immediate family, it can be all so annoying.  The thing to remember is you can’t be the scapegoat for anyone's failure to have the life of their dreams.  It is their responsibility to do what they need to do, to be happy for their whole life.  It’s really a psychological joke, for that person to after you have done your life’s work, think they can come along and steal it.  This type of person gives  meaning to two sayings, “Get your (own) life” and “Bye Felicia.” 

Although you may understand the issue and try to redirect them to work on herself, she may choose not to.  What is important to know is that you can’t save anyone.  No matter how much you love your family members, everybody has the responsibility of building their own life.  If they are delusional, that certainly won’t fix anything. 

It’s important to keep a safe distance from people who are toxic even if they are in your family.  Keep building the life of your dreams.  It’s your life f-o-r-e-v-e-rrrrrrrr.  Live well!

Do yourself a favor and don’t marry a loser.  There are times when you can compromise.  You can accept certain behaviors and beliefs that are not necessarily your own.  But, when you marry someone who is your polar opposite you are signing on for more than you know.  There are people out there that have decided to make “How low can you go” their anthem.  At some point you will have to decide, do you want to lower your standards so low to get a spouse that you can no longer recognize yourself.  What is your happiness worth to you, hopefully, more than “I do.” 

Marry someone who will love you for you.  Who will respect, honor and cherish you?  Marry someone who will live the rest of his life making sure that you are happy as you do the same for him.  You need someone who is consistently honest with who he is.  This is not the time to appreciate the abilities of a chameleon. The last thing you want to do is wake up to find out; you have been living with a stranger. Diva, when it comes to choosing a life partner, choose carefully, choose well. Give your marriage the best chance of being a happy, healthy long lasting relationship.  Marry someone that doesn’t play games out the gate. If he has no class before the marriage, there is a strong chance, he won’t have any after it.  The old folks use to say don’t write a check that your behind can’t cash.  

It’s summertime, and there are so many places to go, where shall I start.  If you haven’t been to Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey, you need to go and check it out.  It’s a beautiful mix of a variety of art, beautiful sculptures and gardens, just amazing. Don’t overlook the Big Apple baby.  A horse ride through the central park is still amazing.  Broadway shows this summer is absolutely fabulous.  Shows like Aladdin, Frozen and Once on the Island will certainly put a smile on your face.  If you live in Philadelphia, you already know.  I recommend the Spirit of Philadelphia dinner cruise, but there are shows, flea markets and festivals in all three states.

Whatever you do, get out of the house and enjoy the best that these states have to offer.  Fresh air and fun.  Who could ask for anything more? Hey, why not state hop.  Road trip….

Why living la Vida loga is not necessarily the best idea. The crazy life doesn’t really work for Divas.  Why you ask? Because, Divas operate with a plan.  Living like a nut is not what we do.  If you go through life without a plan, chances are, you won’t be very successful.  Life demands attention.  You would get through it better if you mapped it out.  Whether you’re in school or making your way up the corporate ladder.  You stand a chance to win with a plan. Without one well, it’s a crapshoot.

So next time you think about living on the edge without a plan, remember these words of wisdom.  The edge is no place to walk or live.  It’s dangerous, stay in the middle of the road.   Your future self will thank you for caring enough about it to plan.

What do you do when you want something so bad, and it always seems just shortly out of your reach.  I’ll tell you what you do; you keep reaching.  Giving up is not what Diva’s do honey- ever.  Just know, we keep finding new ways to get a little closer to the goal.  Maybe a small shift or a move to the side.  Something, anything but quit.  Why because quitting means you will never reach the goal.  It’s not in our vocabulary at least not as it pertains to our goals. 

What we will do is regroup and think about what we need to do differently, what can we do to change our outcome.  What do we need, what strategy, what plan?  As long as there is a sun in the sky, we know that we can and will get there, the question is not will we get there, the question is when. And if you know anything about a Diva, it won’t be long; you can set your clock by us.  We are always on time, and we don’t waste it.  Just when you think, she won’t make it, she wins.  Smooches.

Summer is coming, and we should make every effort to spend as much time in the great outdoors as we can.  Why?  Because we spend most of the winter indoors and this is a wonderful opportunity to take in some fresh air – something that our bodies need to stay healthy and strong.  Also, vitamin D from the sun is a great idea as well.  Don’t forget to put on sunscreen. I’m going to list a few fun things you can do outdoors.  Get ready to get out of dodge Divas.

Go for a walk in your neighborhood

Day trip, take off.  It doesn’t matter where?

Learn how to play tennis

Learn how to ride a horse, horseback riding can be fun.

Read in the park

Go for a walk on the beach

Go on a bike ride

Take a tour bus ride of your city.

Go on a local 4-hour cruise.

Go on a nature walk and take pictures

Go to a park ‘n ride movie

Go to a concert in the park

Go to the beach or your neighborhood pool

Visit your local outdoor fruit and vegetable market

Walk through a flea market

Go bird or butterfly watching at your local Botanical Garden

If you give it some thought, I’m sure you will find other ways to enjoy the outdoors.  Make a list, check it twice and check off this wonderful to do list after you have done each thing.  Soak up the sun and have some fun.  Smooches.

Why is it that some women have such a difficult time being supportive of each other?  Must it always be a cat fight to the top? Isn’t there enough obstacles that we face every day, like stereotypes, racism, sexism and more ‘isms.  Must we be the burden bearers and the burden causers?  What is going on in America people, why can’t we get it together?  Can we all use the excuse we have been dropped on our head in infancy?  Is there a reason why so many of us sit in wait to trip up the cute girls, the smart girls, the ambitious sisters. Just how many psychotherapists do we need to make millionaires before these ladies get their life?  

As I sit by and watch women tear each other to shreds with their mouth and behavior, I can only wonder.  What is missing in these “F Grade” running on empty women’s life that makes them so hateful?  Divas as intelligent women we have to flip the script on this type of behavior.  Get in front of the foolishness and don’t give haters a minute of our precious time.  If their mission is to use us to hurt or embarrass another sister, DIVA SHUT…IT…DOWN!  

It is always surprising to me how people get so caught up with degrees, positions and wealth.  Why are we so easily taken by high positions or wealthy people?  Even those people don’t understand that viewpoint since they go through life struggles as well. They may not have financial problems but there are a lot of other life problems that every human being experiences and money can’t fix them.  Don’t be so willing to put people on a pedestal. Divas understand that it’s more important to look up to and idealize people with character, integrity, and standards than it is to bow down to people who may appear financially successful.

Having a bachelors, masters or doctorates do not a high priestess make honey, get your life!  Respect all people because they are people.  Their degree doesn’t make them a gift. Don’t get me wrong I can appreciate people who have followed their dreams and were willing to put in the hard work to complete their educational program,  I did.  But doing so do not make me feel in any way superior and I don’t look up to people as if they were Gods because they have done the same.  This kind of thinking speaks more to the thinker’s self-esteem than it does to the people being idolized.  I’m not so easily impressed.  But if you are into high status, do know that there are billionaires that have never been to college.  Don’t get stuck on what you think might be prestigious.  Focus on being a happy healthy member of the human race.  Don’t be a fan be a star.    

Understanding that life is a fleeting gift, we must live each day with excitement and intensity.  It would be silly to behave as if we have 100 promised years on this planet – we don’t.  I’m determined to bring my “A game” every day.  Anything less would be a true waste of precious time, time I will never get back.

Divas have to ask themselves what do I want and go get that.  Nothing in life has ever been handed to us, and we don’t expect the rest of our lives to be any different.  So, we intend to stay focused and run our race.  Who said that life would be easy, not I.  But easy was never the way things go for us.  Divas are prepared to do what it takes to get where we want to get and do what we want to do to be happy.  And yes, we are up to the challenge.

So the next time you think of straying from the path, remember you have one life to live, and the best thing you can do for you is ensure you enjoy every minute of it.  Live on purpose!

 

 

I learned an important life lesson that I want to scream from the rooftop, but I’ll settle sharing it with 2000 bloggers.  Authentic people win.  You have to be absolutely you.  Whoever you are, your authentic self is what people would want to see.  It is what will make people gravitate to you.  Don’t change that.  The only thing you need to do is make sure that you are being your best self.  Work off the rough edges and fortify your personality.

 

Don’t think, not even for a minute that you should quiet your soul.  Don’t hide, don’t stand in the corner.  Take your rightful place in the middle of the room.  And every genuine soul will know you are there and be glad to walk towards you.

Minding my own business, and doing what I need to do is me all day every day.  So why is it that haters continue to try me?  Is it because they are unhappy with their unfulfilled life and need to make someone a target of their personal disappointment and I just happened to be the chosen one.  Is it because they confused being meek with being weak?  Or could it be they are so troubled by my energy to be the best I can be that jealousy is raising its ugly head?

Whatever the reason or combination of reasons that cause haters to hate, Divas know that nothing stops this train.  How I move forward in life is not going to change, unless it changes for the better.  But my biggest concern is, that there are sisters out there so lost in their own head so much in their own way, that they are failing to do their own work, ‘cause they are so worried about mine. 

It has gotten to a point where, I can’t even be mad anymore, like most divas I wish I could save them.  I wish I could say, girl, let me help you, this is how it is done.  But their hate and unwarranted rage get in the way.  The most a hater can be is fuel for my success.  But honestly, I wish they would use it to fuel their own.  I trust that one day, they will get their life, but until then, I must say au revoir, adios, buy hater.

Raising children is not for the weak at heart.  We love them.  They do the cutest things but when it’s time to discipline and set limits, get ready.  Let’s say they won’t necessarily cooperate each time.  Your adorable little toddler will cry and put up a fight, but at the end of the day, they must learn rules and be placed on a schedule.  It may seem to most people that children hate being told what they can and cannot do.  But believe it or not, even though they resist, it is good for them, and they absolutely want it and need it.

So the next time your toddler wants to stay up until 11:00 with you, don’t let it happen.  Stick to their routine and get that cute little child in bed at 8:00.  They need their beauty rest and so do you.

Hi Everyone,

I started a Diva Living Today Facebook Group.  Please feel free to join the Diva Living conversation.  I'm all abou that Diva Life - be inspired to live with intentionality.  See you there.

Have you hugged a diva today?  Take the opportunity to be supportive of the women in your life.  I think sometimes because we are all so busy raising children and working on our careers, we forget that our sisters need our support.  You never know what someone is going through.  Give that girl a call, make plans for brunch or shopping.  Use the opportunity to catch up a little.  You can reach out on Facebook or sent a sweet email with an updated pic. 

Whatever you do, stay in touch and let that Diva know that you were thinking of her.  Women supporting women is so important, we understand each other and can be that rock our best friend needs.  Girl power=)

As a child, I loved the Merry-go-round as an adult not so much.  Going around the same way, in the same place seems a bit redundant.  Can I just end up somewhere different?  It’s like watching Batman and Robin.  Even as a child, I was so sick of the same bat time, same bat channel.  Those of you who grew up watching this show know exactly what I mean.  Batman would get caught by the bad guy and just before he gets dipped in hot boiling oil or being tossed off the tallest roof in Gotham City, the show would end there for the night.  The last thing we would hear, is:  Will batman escape this dastardly plot, stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel.  Now, I’m not a violent person, but after two years of batman escaping, even I wanted him to get his bat toes dipped into the boiling oil.  Why, because at some point, I really just needed it to end.  How many lives did this bat person have anyway, my goodness.  All jokes aside.  It is simply time to change the ending of your story. 

How can we do the same thing year in, year out and not want to scream, get me off of this merry-go-round.  It’s necessary, even healthy to make a change.  I don’t know what that change may need to be for you, but I am certain it needs to happen.  It could be as simple as changing your haircut or color and as complex as going back to school or changing careers.  Whatever it is, promise me that you will embrace the change you need in your life to move forward, and do it.  It is all about the change.  Go for it Diva!  Unlike Batman, we only have one life not twenty.

The art of compromise.  There are so many times when I know my prospective on a particular issue is right and I’d like to scream it from the rooftops.  Okay, I know, too dramatic.  I’d like to make sure it’s heard and understood – better?  Okay.  There are times when compromise is necessary in certain areas of relationships, work etc.  But there are those times in particular when there can be no compromise because the issue is so personal and so important, that to compromise would mean not being your authentic self and literally changing what is good, beneficial and important to you.  That’s where divas draw the line.

If you want to choose dinner in or out, you got that.  Want to turn the garage into a bat cave?  Okay, tell Robin I said hello.  But if you are asking me to change my religion or my believe system, you may as well be asking me to beam you up and call you Scottie.  It’s simply not going to happen and why pray tell would you want me to?  How can you ask a person to change who they are if it’s not for the better?  How do you determine what is better for me?  How do you think you know better than I do what is better for me?  Understand that if something is good, wholesome and wonderful and genuine, anything less would be a step back.  And who is going to do that, not this diva – for sure? 

Everyone has to choose their own path.  If you are on it you already know, there are choices to be had.  I can only speak for myself when I say, I want the best for me which includes living my best life.  So unless you are coming with a better way to do that.  I no understande’ English.

Striving for excellence – be about it and recognize it when you see it.  Smooches.

Guess what guys…..I’ve written a book.  Yes, I did.  The book is one in the series of Diva Living Today books.  I wanted by blog readers to be the first to get the dets.  The first book is entitled “Diva Get Your Life!”  And, as you can imagine, it is all about getting your life together and living it well.  The book should be published in a few months, and I am so excited.  It’s just another way I get to share my philosophy on living well with all of you.  If you love my Diva Living Today blog, you’re going to love the book.  In the book I get the opportunity to share some of my life experiences and lend some advice about just how to go about living your best life.  I’ll show you all the promo’s don’t worry diva, you are definitely in the loop.

                             

I’m also starting my YouTube channel to push girl power, even that further.  For those of you who always ask how I do what I do, you can come along for the ride.  I’ll definitely keep you posted when the book is launched and where you can find it, as well as all my public events going forward.  I do have a few private events scheduled and will share pics etc. Once the company events are over.  It will begin in about four months.  This is the beginning of an awesome journey.  You have been reading my blog for the past two years, so we have been on this journey together.  Cheers to women living their best life.  I look, so forward to continue riding this train – with you.  All aboard!!!

So how is a girl supposed to know when she found Mr. Right for her?  That is the question of the century and yes, we are still trying to answer that question.  The truth is every girl has a list in her mind of what she would like her Mr. Right for her to look like.  We want him to be kind, successful, loving, considerate, a protector, handsome with a sense of humor to boot.  But is it realistic to expect one person to meet our long list of must haves.  In my opinion, the question is no.  Everybody has their faults and so will your Mr. Right for you.  It really is about your priorities.  The deal breakers are just that, deal breakers.  For example, if you’re a Christian and he’s an atheist that may be a deal breaker.  If you like to travel, but he hates it that may be something that can be worked out.

The bottom line is, we want our Mr. Right to fit perfectly into our live just as much as we must fit perfectly in his.  There will certainly have to be some compromise as all the pieces don’t always fit neatly together.  So if you have too many differences and nothing in common, it might not make for the best relationship.  But if we have things in common and are opened to making a few tweaks in the expectations, if the man meets the general expectations, the relationship has a chance. Don’t get this confused with settling – nope that is not what we do.

Divas don’t give up on love.  We know it’s out there somewhere just waiting for us to take notice.  If we open our hearts, but think with our brains, we will meet our Mr. Right for me and we’ll be just fine.  

The power of forgiveness is real.  Like anyone else, you could make a mistake.  You may have done something or said something you wish you could take back.  Sometimes what we say or do may have a devastating effect on us or someone else.  Beating yourself up about a mistake for 20 years is not a diva move.  Let me tell you something girl.  The energy and work that it takes to have a successful, happy life is enough.  We don’t need another thing to make life any more difficult or complicated than it needs to be. 

So how do you go about getting rid of this weight that makes you sad?  Oh, there are a number of things you can do.  I’ve listed a few below.  Hopefully something on my list will work for you.  But by all means, whatever it is.  LET IT GO!

1.     Pray about it, prayer changes things.

2.     Speak to a friend or a sister about it, perhaps they can provide guidance.

3.     Speak to a therapist.  Sometimes just speaking to someone about it frees your soul.

4.     Journal about it and burn the book – It’s gone forever.

5.     Choose to use that problem as rocket fuel, to move you to a better place.

6.     If you think your situation is bad, trust me there are people in worse shape.  Volunteer at a woman’s home. 

7.     Thank God you are still alive and mentally move on to a better place.

Whatever you have done that you think is unforgivable, it isn’t.  You're alive and therefore given another chance to live well.  Forgive yourself.  Next time, think it through, learn from your mistakes, make better choices and Diva, enjoy your life – you only get one.

I’m sure you can imagine how annoying it is when a person project their personal issues onto you.  People do this because they have a perception of who you think you are and if their self-esteem (in their mind) isn’t there then, they feel like the best way to handle this internal personal struggle is to lash out at you. The goal here is to do things that they feel will pull you down to size or in other words lower your self-esteem so that they can feel better about themselves.

So if you are wondering why some people are coming for your life and you barely notice they exist – well this is why.  You may not know them, but trust and believe they think they know you.  They have made up their minds on who you are (no one says it has to be accurate, usually it’s the farthest from the truth) and they are acting out based on that fabrication. 

Wouldn’t it be better for people like this to work on their self-esteem?  Would it be smarter to figure out why they don’t feel great about themselves and work to change it?  For example, you lost 50 pounds.  It’s not an impossibility that they can go ahead and do what they need to do to lose weight if their hang up is being overweight.  Or suppose you have a doctorates and they never went to college.  Last I checked the doors for college is opened to everyone.  What I’m saying is that, it is smarter to do what you need to feel better about yourself then it is to try to attack others we already have done their work.

What I would like to say to people who behave this way is, don’t let laziness and hate-eration make a fool out of you.  The bottom line is, that person who has high self-esteem because they are proud of who they are and what they have accomplished will never, never feel any different because you try to project your personal issues unto them.  Divas are rocks so don’t waste your time.  Don't mistake meekness for weakness.  Let me put it another way, it’s like waking a sleeping lion – are you sure you want to go there? I didn’t think so.  Get your life.

For a moment, I wondered what I would write about today.  What could I say to encourage women, to support women, to ensure they understand it’s important to enjoy their life journey?  Walking in your truth came to me.  It’s the single most important thing that any diva could do.  In a world where so many people work really hard to make you believe they are something that they are not, speaking and living your truth could not be more important.

There are so many people that do a certain thing, buy a certain thing, and act a certain way, just so everyone around them can think they are somebody that they really aren’t.  It would seem to me that if what they are trying to look like is so important, shouldn’t it be worth the work to really be that person?  Everybody wants instant gratification.  I want to be, I immediately am. 

Divas know, it doesn’t work that way.  It takes time, reflection, experience, planning and training to be the best you.  You can never be your best you, if you don’t accept and acknowledge where you are.  You will never fix a problem that you’re acting like you don't have.  Live your truth, and then, if you don’t like it – change it.  That’s what diva do.  It’s time to diva up girl!

So it’s a snow day and you have the day off.  Thinking of snuggling back in bed and sleeping for another three hours?  Sounds like a pretty good idea.  But when you get up, what are you going to do with the rest of your day?  Are you planning on taking it easy?  Do you think it’s a couch and remote day?  Nope, you're wrong.  Since you had the opportunity to catch a few more zzzzz it is time to be productive and make better use of your day.  How often have you said I don’t have enough time to do this or that?  Well diva, now you have it.

Whether you're contemplating writing a book or have a closet to clean out, take your new found time to accomplish your mission. Should you decide to accept this mission, you could make the outline for your book, decide on a title, do some research on the subject matter you intend to cover.

If your mission is closet impossible, you could go through it, removing clothes you no longer wear and do the same for shoes.  You could bag them for good will and make a list of any organizational systems, you will want to make or buy. 

So the next time you think of relaxing all day on a snow day, think again.  It’s a wonderful time to get something accomplished that is on, or should be on, your “to do list”.  This is how Diva’s make the magic happen.  One accomplished mission at a time.  Smooches. 

Happy New Year Divas!  I hope you’re excited about your life and what you will accomplish in 2018.   Thank God that we made it to a brand new year.  What are you going to do this year to move yourself forward in your life?  It better be big and I want to hear about it.  Don’t misunderstand me when I say big, I don’t mean you have to open a fortune 500 company – although that would be nice.  I do mean I hope you do something that is impactful in your life.  What do you want out of life?  Whatever that is, that’s what I’m talking about.  I’m not talking about just thinking about it.  Girl you know me better than that, I’m talking about doing something about it.  Camera, lights, action!  You get my drift.  Make the magic happen honey.

The point is, to accomplish something, anything, we have to start somewhere.  This is usually the hardest part.  Once you make that first move, girl you are on your way.  Do the thing, live life, be happy!  Smooches.
