D.I.V.A.S. was created by Teresa Howell. This is a place for women to connect and help each other succeed. D.I.V.A.S. stands for:
D R E A M big
I N S P I R E others
V A L U E yourself
A C H I E V E your goals
S U C C E E D at everything
My goal is create small groups of women in local communities that can inspire and support each other. I originally thought of creating a book club that featured only positive, non-fiction, inspiring books. Then I decided I wanted it to go a step further. Every woman I know has dreams, even if they have put them on hold. We all have similar challenges in different areas of our lives; how to balance work and family, how to have a successful relationship with your significant other, goals we want to achieve, needing to take care of ourselves, and the list goes on. So I thought, what if we could support each other and use all the resources available to inspire and motivate us, help each other succeed, achieve our dreams, enhance our relationships and learn to truly value ourselves?
This is why I created D.I.V.A.S. I am starting my first group this month, January 2011. I will document our process and progress in a blog on this page. I welcome feedback, questions and anyone who wants to start a group in their community. I will have resources available to you that we will be using in our group. I am excited about this project and I can't wait to see what we all accomplish!
Here is to a great new year, new connections and a fun way to inspire and motivate myself (and others)!
