Have I told you lately just how much I love this DivaTalk Community? Everyday I think of you, I pray for you, and I look forward to interacting with you here on our website, through our newsletters, and on our various social media platforms. I know there is a lot of noise on the Internet vying for you time and I’m grateful that you’ve chosen to be here!
Each month we enjoy bringing fun, enjoyment, encouragement, and to empower YOU as you come through our “virtual” doors. We do this by hosting Community Events…virtually, of course! These events are a great way to get plugged in and make new friends, learn something new, and step into the EXTRAordinary lifestyle YOU were created to live.
So, are you excited to see what we’ve designed for you? Yay, we are too! Check out the Community Events below and get plugged in!
January: Planning Your Ultimate Year (Briefcase Diva)
It’s a new year and you’ve got your goals all planned out. Have you considered creating a theme that will remind you of your goals? Throughout this month we will be designing your ultimate theme, which is your personal slogan or tagline that will be a reminder of where you are right now and where you want to be by the end of the year. This is an exciting time of year…you feel refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated. Let’s keep that feeling all year long! Cost: Free
February: 21-Day Diva Community Fast (DivaTalk Prayer Warriors)
As we learn to live an EXTRAordinary life, we need to decrease ourselves so that God can increase in us. During the 21-day DivaTalk Community Fast, we will be doing the Daniel Fast. You see, Daniel refused to eat the King’s food, which went against the laws in those days. Daniel refused the Babylonian diet because it was offered as a sacrifice to idols. Daniel knew that serving idols was not pleasing to God. In Daniel 1:8, it says “Daniel proposed in his heart that he would not defile himself.” Fasting is making a commitment to serving and pleasing God. As Christians, isn’t that our desire?
When God is our first priority, He can use us to help others. Yes! That is great news! As we seek ways to live an EXTRAordinary lifestyle, let’s join together in this 21-day Fast and discover the rewards of putting God first in our lives. [click here to learn more] Cost: $17
March: Spring Recipes (Divas in Aprons)
Ahh, Spring is here! There’s nothing like a fresh Spring day to have the windows open, the birds singing, and smell of fresh bread baking. This month we will be discussing all things recipes for Spring. What are some of your favorite spring recipes? Please share your favorites for main dishes, side dishes, appetizers and desserts. Please remember that this piece is targeted at amateur chefs, so keep it somewhat simple! You can send us your favorite Springtime recipes via our Contact Us page. Be sure to include your name, Facebook Page, and your website (if applicable).
April: de-CRAP-y-fying Your Home, Your Life, and Keeping Your Sanity (Diva Lifestyle)
Let’s face it, no one likes a cluttered home, but we all like to have a clean space. My sister is what you would call a minimalist, and me on the other hand…well, let’s just say that the camera crew from Hoarders has seen nothing yet! I like my crap! And, I like lots of it! However, as I’m aging (gracefully, I might add), I’m noticing that I’m more drawn to my sister’s way of living. So, during the month of April we will be ‘de-CRAP-y-fying’ our homes as a community effort to open up our space, our minds, and our creativity. We will take the whole month to declutter once and for all, and figure out ways to organize that works better for you and your family. [click here to learn more]
May: Celebrating Mom (Extraordinary Diva)
Since Mother’s Day is in May, we want to celebrate by sharing your stories. Perhaps you have a special Mom or another woman in your life (a former teacher, a Pastor’s wife, an Aunt) that made a difference in your life…we want to know her through your eyes. All month long we will be honoring women. If you would like to share a story with us, please send it to our team by using the Contact Us page.
June: You Dirty Hoe! (Divas that Garden)
This month we are going to get our hands dirty while playing in the garden. We will be planning, planting, and enjoying the fruits of our labor. We will be discussing vertical gardening, container gardening, pallet gardening, and (my favorite) salad bar gardening. We will learn all things about composting. Determine the good bugs from the bad bugs. What plants welcome butterflies and humming birds and what plants repel rodents. And we’ll finish the month off with a companion…learning what grows best together for greater crops. Whether you have the space for a large garden or you only have room for a window box, you will enjoy this month of getting ‘dirty’!
July: Summer Fun & Vacations (Divas that Travel)
Ahh, the sun is out and pouring its warm rays down on your face. The kids are out of school and are antsy to go places. All you can think of is your toes in the sand and a fruity tropical drink (with umbrella) in one or both hands. Yes…it’s summertime and we are vacationing! All month long we will be discussing ways to vacation on a budget, take a weekend getaway, and cruise to tropical paradises. We will discuss what to pack before your leave (like pants…remind me to tell you about my cruise story with NO pants!), how to keep the kids entertained during long car rides, and how to plan you trips for lasting memories.
August: Stepping Into Your Greatness! – More information coming soon!
September: Health & Fitness – More information coming soon!
