So this makes the 3rd week of the Diva Makeover and I am still going strong.  I’ll be honest a sista really is craving some Sour Cream and Cheddar ruffles right about now!  Overall the program is going well, but I know what’s holding me back from seeing incredible results… I am holding on to shit.  Yes I wrote shit and I mean both literally and figuratively.

The Diva Makeover has two parts: Diva Detox and Divatude Coaching.  The thing about detoxing on this level, is that its more than just taking some supplements, eating raw, and drinking lots of water. We call it a makeover because its about all of you not just the inside of your colon.  The Diva Detox takes on detoxifying 4  MAJOR BODY SYSTEMS (Respiratory, circulatory, digestive, lymphatic)

My intention was to put rigor into my life (sticking to my schedule and meeting my goals) as well as clear out my system.

The rigor is in there, I have been taking the supplements, not eating the restricted foods, and sticking to the plan YAY!  However the clearing my system is not going so well   It didn”t make any sense  because I am taking the supplements and drinking water and “doing” everything right, but the reason my system gets sluggish in the first place has nothing to do with what I eat and EVERYTHING to do with my emotional state.

In meditation, it has been revealed to me that I need to stop hold shit in and say what’s on my mind…to EVERYONE.   Sheesh!  That’s scary to me because I have laser insight and sometimes the truth can hurt!  I am clear however, that it doesn’t serve ANYONE for me to keep all that good stuff to myself and I am in fact hurting myself by keeping all this shit inside.

Now this isn’t license to just run around reading people or telling people off, but sometimes the spirit will convict me to say things, or people will even ask me for my opinion and I just hold back.  That is all over for me!  There are a couple of tough conversations I need to have with people close to me, and I am going to go there.

It’s tough because this is life-changing and my fear is that if I take this stand, it could mean some harsh words and a lot of hurt .  I  my family, but at the end the day, I love myself more!  I will be totally straight about this request for organ donation;  my fears, concerns, and conditions.  In reality I don’t know what they will say, so instead of speculating and continuing to worry myself to death about it, I am going to step out there and see what will happen in real life.  I have to be honest, I am scared, but the thing about being A Diva, is that I act in the face of fear.
Stay tuned for updates!

Yoga Diva!

I so did not feel like getting up and going to Yoga this morning. Here’s the thing though, you get SOOOO much out of being your word vs. your feelings. It’s 11:00 and I now feel wonderful both because I started my day with integrity AND because my mind is clear and body refreshed from a great class!

As my friend Mr. Mogul said owning your own business does not mean you get to sleep late, it just means you have to be disciplined enough to get up early b/c there is no boss to report to!  It also means I have to be disciplined enough to go to bed earlier (notice I didn’t say early ) so that your body is not struggling to get up.

You have to go to bed early EVEN THOUGH you have a FANTASTIC NEW PROJECT to work on and want to stay up all night to work out the details.  Simply jot down your most excellent ideals and have faith that the universe will have it all ready for you again in the AM.

In other Diva news, last night I went to my first SAMBA class and I LOOOOOVED IT!  I have to admit I was really nervous b/c they are in the middle of a 5-week session and I have never done that style of dance before, but it was cool.   Trust, I messed up, a lot, but this ia s lesson in not taking myself too seriously and being okay with not looking good all the time.  Tonight is cha-cha and I am looking for a great belly dancing class too! I know it seems like a lot, but I have a company that teaches dance, so this is all part of R&D (see how my classes are now a tax deduction!).

Don’t be jealous, just be in action, you to can live your dream life today!  I suggest you start with getting clear on what you are passionate about and then see what happens next.!

Alrighty, I just finished my smoothie and its time to hop into the shower to get fresh and clean.  I have much to do on that EXCITING NEW PROJECT!)
