Diva's Diamonds: What Looks Too Good To Be True...By Queen Diva 12-22-11
Posted on 09:47 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Blessings, P.I.N.K. Diamonds! Today I was going through my "Stats" for my "Blogazine" on Blogger.com and I was reviewing my audience page just to see who is reading my posts! I was looking at the various familiar search engine names like Bing, Google and so on. Then I clicked on a search engine that wasn't familiar and then an infomercial came on. As I watched I kept thinking to myself who is this person and how many people he has "suckered" into believing that you can make money by doing absolutely nothing in the "Dark side of the internet?" My red flag in my head came up when he said "Dark side..." I instantly knew this is not a good idea. Any time someone is trying to sell you something and it sounds too good to be true....it is!
During these challenging economic times especially during the holidays people can become so desperate for money, success or things for themselves or their family. It was so saddening to watch a video that was very impressive in the video presentation as well as the words posted and expressed that could pierce into the heart of people who do not have money and truly want to have millions or billions of dollars to rescue themselves from their financial state.
But I want to share with you today that GOD IS ABLE to change any situation! Just because you are not where you want to be financially or in your career doesn't mean that you will stay right where you are. Faith without works are DEAD. You must do your part in order for God to do HIS! Yes you should pray but you should also ask God what is my NEXT move to improve my financial situation? What do you want me to do next, Lord in my career goals? Should I go back to school, take a seminar class, a workshop, go online and get a degree? Even if you do not have a dime to your name ask the Lord where can you volunteer or intern to learn the career you want to get into or where should you get a mentor to impart to you while you look for a job or position. There is no excuse to move forward in your financial and career dreams because you can research on your own online or in the library.
You must make the first step towards making changes in your LIFE! Be cautious and discerning when embarking on a money making opportunity or career choice. I challenge you to plan for 2012 what you would like to do differently to become more successful and have a more fulfilling life! YOU can do it just start by writing down what is your passion? What do you want to do for the rest of your life that you are good at and makes you smile? Once you've written that down then research what you can do for FREE and a FEE. Make a list with two columns a FREE list and a FEE list then assess what you can do first and go from there!
What looks too good to be true....usually is FALSE! LOL! Try asking God for help instead of asking man through get-rich schemes! Jesus was born and died so that you can LIVE your life more abundantly! Money schemes is not living life abundantly but planning your life and asking for God's guidance is living life PURPOSEFULLY and TRIUMPHANTLY!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!
Love, Laughter & Light,

Diva's Diamonds: What's Your Christmas Wish? By Queen Diva 12-20-11
Posted on 13:20 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Blessings, P.I.N.K. Diamonds! What's your Christmas Wish? I haven't given it much thought this year because God has truly blessed me tremendously all year long! I am the 2011 National Spokesperson for Integrity Beauty Women of Excellence Christian Women Network and Inaugural 2011 Integrity Beauty Woman of Grace! I was nominated for two categories in 2011 Plus Awards, Plus Model of the Year and Plus Size Female Role Model, presently on the 2011 Integrity Beauty Tour to promote Integrity Beauty Women of Excellence Christian Women Network, graced the cover of two magazines, YOU! Digital Magazine and BBW Beauties Magazine that was one of the highest viewed digital issues of the magazine, wrote a feature article for Kontagious Magazine, my single "Just Ordinary People" is still holding on in the Top Ten spot on Reverbnation.com Electronica/Dance chart consecutively in Houston, Texas for almost 2 years and I am one of 12 plus size models winners to be selected for the Inaugural Fabulouz Thick Cuties International Promotional Plus Size Models! Whew!
I even managed to start Diva's Diamonds Dream Mentoring Program and P.I.N.K. Diamonds Fitness Club as well as expounded on Diva's Diamonds Book Club, released Diva's Diamonds Ultimate P.I.N.K. Diamonds eBook Collection and set up subscriptions for Diva's Diamonds "Blogazine"on Amazon.com through Kindle and set up my own Divine Voices Media Store on Amazon.com!
I've been a very busy DIVA! LOL! If I had a Christmas Wish it would be to meet and marry my "Boaz!" I would definitely love to meet him in 2012! I truly believe he's almost ready for me to be presented to him by God just like Eve, Rebekkah, Rachel and Ruth were introduced to their husbands. I'm a patient Woman of God and 2012 will mark 8 years I've been in ministry and on my journey towards becoming a vessel for Christ. The number 8 means new beginnings and getting married would truly be a "new beginning" for me. I've never been married and I'm no "spring chicken" but I ain't no "fall chicken" either! LOL! I have to say that LIFE IS GOOD just where it is and I'm at peace at where I'm at in my life and where God is leading me in my ministry, personal and professional life!
For all the women and men of God who have the same "Christmas Wish" as I do trust that God already knows your desire for HE put it there! God designed marriage and HE wants his sons and daughters to be married that HE gives the desire be married! It's all about "Divine Timing!" Be patient, prepare for your blessed union and enjoy your life right where you are NOW! I know I am having a FABULOUS time! LOL! YOU should too! You just never know when God will introduce you to the one HE specifically created on earth for YOU!
Merry Christmas, P.I.N.K. Diamonds! May the peace and presence of Christ bless you greatly during this Holy Day season!
I am so thankful for all of your love, support and encouragement! I pray that everything that you read here blesses you in a mighty way that you are so inclined to share with others! And that ALL of your "Christmas Wishes" come true! Amen!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!
Love, Laughter & Light,

Diva's Diamonds: Preparing for 2012 by Queen Diva 12-16-11
Posted on 08:47 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Blessings, P.I.N.K. Diamonds! I will now be posting my daily Diva's Diamonds on my newly named "Blogazine" instead of posting just on Facebook directly! This is one of many new changes that I will be doing in 2012!!! Are you excited about the New Year? I know that I am so excited that I feel like I'm going to burst! LOL! My life and journey so far has been amazing and soon I will be writing about my testimony and sharing it with the world! Believe me when I tell you when you hear my testimony you will be shouting HALLELUJAH for me! Glory to God!
I'm so happy and thankful for all of your support, love, posts, responses and encouragement on my Diva's Diamonds:Words to Inspire, Empower & Encourage Facebook page! We are now at 430 friends following us!!! YAY! Blessings to you all and I pray that every posting, picture, video and words of wisdom blesses you REAL good!
As the title says I'm busy preparing for 2012!!! I can't wait to tell you what I'm working on but you may have a pretty good idea if you've read my 7/31/11 posting "What's Coming Up Next?" If you haven't then check out that posting in the July Archives! I challenge you to prepare for 2012 in these last two weeks of 2011 diligently! You may think that 2 weeks is not enough time to plan for next year but it can be a least a start for you so that you will have an idea where you are headed, what you will accomplish and what to expect in 2012! I have learned just in the last 7 years the importance of planning ahead and knowing exactly what you would "Like" to do. If you at least can see your vision on paper it just a matter of taking steps daily, weekly, monthly to seeing it actually come to pass!
You CAN do this!!! Just get a piece a paper or go to your WORD document and just start writing. You will be surprised just how much you really want to accomplish in 2012!
Be like NIKE=JUST DO IT!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

P.I.N.K. Diamonds Fitness GEM OCTOBER 2011 by Queen Diva 10-16-11
Posted on 18:52 by Unknown
NATASHA COLEMAN
Plus Model, Beauty Queen, Wife, Mother and Career Woman
P.I.N.K. Diamonds Fitness GEM OCTOBER 2011
Blessings, P.I.N.K. Diamonds! I would like to introduce a new segment to the Diva's Diamonds Blog called P.I.N.K. Diamonds Fitness GEM-Godly Empowering Motivators! We just started a P.I.N.K. Diamonds Fitness Club on Facebook and we will spotlight a new "GEM" every month! Fitness comes in all shapes and sizes and we want to reflect that in our club! We have two Fitness Experts so far and they are Tony Wilson of Tony Wilson's Fitness Connection in Arlington, TX and ShapelyGirl Certified Plus Size Fitness Expert Debby Greene-Mack of Sharon, PA.
I will spotlight a new "GEM" who has lost weight and are shining resplendently their light of accomplishment and joy! The picture above shows the before and after status of Natasha Coleman. This month I chose a wonderful friend of mine I have been following on Facebook for about a year. She is a veteran Plus Size Beauty Queen, Aspiring Plus Model, Wife, Mother and successful Career woman who decided it was time to become more healthy for herself and her family.
Natasha Coleman of Panama City, Florida went from a size 32 to size 16 with determination, desire and discipline to get the weight off and become FIT!
"After the birth of my now 8-year-old twins I was more than 400 pounds. I assumed that my weight was just too far gone, so I hid behind makeup and colorful clothes and hoped nobody had noticed I gained more than 150 pounds since their arrival," says Natasha.
Her life changing moment to lose weight came after a vacation from Mexico in April 2010. After returning home she reflected on her trip and how she had to go through getting a seat belt extender around her waist on the airplane and thought to herself that she has to do something NOW about her health before REAL health issues began to develop!
"Up to this point, my blood pressure and lab results have always been good, but I knew that would not last if I continued to live the life I was living of not exercising or watching the things I was eating," says Natasha.
Here's how she lost the weight...She started her lifestyle change by putting herself on a pretty tough and strict very low calorie diet. She lost 40 pounds, but realized that she could never live her life eating cabbage and baked chicken alone. It was just not realistic for her. She began to incorporate different foods back into her diet, but still sticking to limited eating out opportunities. She ate nothing fried, cut out diet sodas, bread, pasta and rice. Natasha's weight loss did slow down and she realized that with proper dieting and exercising she could begin to feel better about herself. Natasha began walking on the weekends and taking Zumba classes four days a week.
"I have always hated exercising but Zumba is more like dancing. Walking on the treadmill could get very boring, but Zumba is fun and it makes me feel like I am getting a great workout since I burn a lot of calories and sweat," says Natasha.
She has since gone back to the gym doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and light weightlifting. She still attends her Zumba class at least two days a week. She has made exercise part of her daily routine.
"I have a growing family and I know they can’t do much without me -- if I don’t take care of myself, who will take care of my family? They now understand and support my new lifestyle," says Natasha.
She is currently down 141 pounds and would like to lose an additional 60 pounds to finally get to her long term goal. She went from a super-size plus 36 to a normal size 16. A size 16 may still be too big for most, but she is very comfortable at this size and is looking forward to reaching her final goal.
"I know with the proper diet and daily exercising, I will make it there! I thank God every day for how far I have come and for how far I am going to go," says Natasha.
We know it too that's why we've asked Natasha Coleman to contribute to our new P.I.N.K. Diamonds Fitness Club on Facebook her progression towards her goal of a size 12! Welcome aboard, Natasha and we wish you continued success on your weight loss and management goals!

Diva's Diamonds: TIME by Queen Diva 9-15-11
Posted on 19:56 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
I can't stop listening to this song called "TIME" by Billy Porter, who is a phenomenal Broadway singer, recorded some years ago. I first heard it watching this video from the hugely popular "So You Think You Can Dance" Season 3 episode shown above four years ago. Mia Michaels, a wonderful choreographer, who created this modern dance as a tribute to her dancing with her father, who passed away of Lung Cancer two years prior to this show, and this dance brought tears to my eyes that day. But even so much more now that my own father passed last December 2010 from complications of Lung Cancer with Pneumonia. I thought of this video when I had a random thought that I never got a chance to dance with my Dad when he was alive. Watching this video again just two days ago I was in tears but smiling holding my heart thinking what it would be like to dance with my father in Heaven.
Although our TIME on earth together was very limited I cherished every moment I had with my Father. TIME is so very precious and I just wanted to remind you today that your TIME on earth should be purposeful. Don't ever assume that you don't matter or that no one loves you or misses you because that is simply not true. There is someone who is madly in love with you. There is someone who looks forward to your tweets or posts on various social networks every day. There is someone who waits to see you walk by them everyday. There is even someone hoping to meet you in person one day. Take the TIME everyday to not only be thankful for another day but to WIN or FAIL because that is your chance to LEARN, GROW and become a better YOU.
TIME waits for no one and your TIME is very valuable because you will soon wake up one day and all the TIME you thought you had will be GONE. I challenge you to take a moment to enjoy, embrace, be purposeful, be diligent, be appreciative, be mindful and considerate of TIME. God is the author and finisher of TIME not man so don't you think it's TIME to use your TIME wisely?
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!
Love, Laughter & Light,
Queen Diva
P.S. Here's "TIME" by Billy Porter in it's entirety.... Peace & Love!

Posted on 22:38 by Unknown
Diva's Diamonds Beautiful Person of the Week:
Leila Luliana da Costa Vieira Lopes...The newly crowned Miss Universe 2011 on Monday, September 12, 2011 in Sao Paulo, Brazil now the former Miss Angola 2011! She is the 4th African woman to win the Miss Universe title and the 1st Miss Angola to win! Miss Lopes was born February 26, 1986 on Benguela Province, Angola by Cape Verdean Parents. Lopes was crowned Miss Angola 2011 on October 8, 2010 in Angola, UK and now Miss Universe 2011. Lopes is a Business Management student in Great Britain. Her win as Miss Angola 2011 caused protests under the Angolan community in Great Britain, who criticized that Leila Lopes at that time was not a resident in the UK. Although there may have been controversy in Angola there was nothing but favor and praise for her at the 2011 Miss Universe Pageant in Brazil!
She is beautiful not just because of her physical beauty but because she has a pure love and hope for people and serving as Miss Angola 2011 and now Miss Universe 2011. She wants to use her title to to assist her native country of Angola further escape its history of war and impoverishment with plans to focus on combating HIV around the globe. She is both gracious and loving to all of her admires and well wishers. I had the opportunity to congratulate her on Facebook the day she was crowned as Inaugural Integrity Beauty Woman of Grace 2011 and she immediately thanked me! So much is in store for this lovely queen who has been crowned Miss Universe 2011 for such a time as this! I bow in honor of a fellow queen all the way from Houston, Texas USA!
All Hail The Queen....Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes!

Posted on 14:09 by Unknown
Diva's Diamonds' Beautiful Person of the Week:
Edward Regan "Eddie" Murphy...An American stand-up comedian, actor, writer, singer, director, and musician. Box office takes from Murphy's films make him the second-highest grossing actor in the United States. He has received Golden Globe Award nominations for his performances in 48 Hrs, Beverly Hills Cop series, Trading Places, and The Nutty Professor. In 2007, he won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of soul singer James "Thunder" Early in Dreamgirls.[5]
Murphy's work as a voice actor includes Thurgood Stubbs in The PJs, Donkey in the Shrek series and the dragon Mushu in Disney's Mulan. In some of his films, he plays multiple roles in addition to his main character, intended as a tribute to one of his idols Peter Sellers, who played multiple roles in Dr. Strangelove and elsewhere. Murphy has played multiple roles in Coming to America, Wes Craven's Vampire In Brooklyn, the Nutty Professor films (where he played the title role in two incarnations, plus his father, brother, mother, and grandmother), Bowfinger, and 2007's Norbit. Murphy will host the 84th Academy Awards in 2012.
What makes Eddie Murphy beautiful...is his ability to reinvent himself to entertain everyone from children to adults worldwide. His talent has taken him all over the world and made him millions of dollars to provide for his large family and friends comfortably. He has staying power that many comedians and actors are not able to duplicate. The world will be watching his hosting debut in 2012 at the Oscars with great anticipation to LAUGH out loud hysterically!

Diva's Diamonds: What Are You Birthing Out This Month? by Queen Diva 9-4-11
Posted on 09:41 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
September 2011 has finally arrived and the season of Fall is in the air! It is the 9th month of the year! Usually the amount of time that a human being births out a child is 9 months. Nine "Fruits of the Spirit" are essential for all Christians to birth out a peaceful, prosperous, loving and abundant life! For some Christians it may take years to birth out the "Fruits of the Spirit" through trials, tribulations and tests! What are "Fruits of the Spirit?" They are gifts given to Christians by the Holy Spirit ordained by God to give to grow and be purposeful in their lives on Earth. What are the gifts you may ask? They are found in the Book of Galatians 5:22-23 in the Holy Bible and they are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are the same "fruits" that people bless others with every day when then say Peace & Love! It's so important as you grow in your relationship with God the Father that you are tested and pass the tests to receive these "Fruits of the Spirit" throughout your lifetime. The "Birthing" process is always painful and never easy, but it is necessary for all Christians to grow in to their fullest potential and to be used by God as a vessel!
What are you "Birthing Out" this September? Have you sowed your seeds of faith in that job you wanted by taking classes either online or at a continuing education course? Have you joined every employment agency and asked for referrals from friends and family about leads? Have you started your own business being creative and helping elderly people with their lawns, Christmas lights to be taken down or taking them grocery shopping once a month? Have you networked with church members, former co-workers, networking mixers/groups? Is there an educational goal you always wanted to pursue but you put it to the side because you were taking care of every one else's dream but your own? Is it time for you to go back to school and start by taking free classes online from Yale University? Just Google "Yale Free Courses" and begin to learn courses you never thought you could afford to take that help you start a business, ministry or encourage you to go back to school full time!
We have far too much technology and information for us not to be "Birthing Out" something in September 2011! You may not have done anything all year long to birth out something but it's not too late! When you are tested by losing a job, loved one, money, home, apartment, belongings all of those are tests in the spirit combined together help you with your spiritual growth so you may be closer to "Birthing Out" something than you think! You may be "Birthing Out" faithfulness, self-control or PATIENCE! I challenge you to assess what have you done all year long and discover what is it that you are to "Birth Out" in this month of September 2011!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!
Love, Laughter & Light,
Queen Diva
I want to share with you one of my favorite songs by "The Elements" aka "Earth, Wind & Fire"-"September"

Diva's Diamonds' Beautiful Person of the WEEK by Queen Diva 8-28-11
Posted on 17:17 by Unknown

Diva's Diamonds' Beautiful Person of the Week:
Josef Gordon...An America artist, entertainer and songwriter from Houston, Texas who has the songwriting gifting of a prodigy who blends stories that stem from his life into original R&B compositions that are flavored with mystery, substance, and authenticity with just a side of pop melodies that will touch each soul differently. Josef has such effortless control of his falsetto and chest voice that carries you melodically to each lyric word by word to where you wanna just listen to his voice over and over.
Growing up in Houston, Texas, Josef's strong relationship with his family has served as an anchor while navigating through the ritest of passage that is required for anyone that will someday thank the Academy, MTV, and the Grammy's. Josef began writing music at age five, including two songs with Jimmy Needham, where one song reached number two on the Christian charts for three months. After spending a year studying abroad in London, Josef knew the time was ripe for Hollywood. In late 2008, Josef began collaborating with guitarist Kellen Mills and producer extraordinaire Robb "Rapture" Hutzal and they formed a songwriting and production entity named "The RedElect." In just one year, Josef and Kellen, penned and recorded twenty-five records with Rapture's guidance in various genres including Pop, Rock, and R&B. The fruit of their labor paid off when three of their songs were purchased by one of America's forefront sound libraries, Firstcom/Universal.
If you are in the Los Angeles area Josef Gordon will be performing LIVE & UNPLUGGED Featuring Songs "Find My Way," "Uncaged," & "Falling" at LIFE, 6311 Wilshire Blvd Los Angeles, Ca. 90048 at 8:30 pm on Tuesday, November 2, 2011. There's no cover and be sure to tell him Queen Diva sent you!
What makes Josef Gordon beautiful is his humility of his gift of song and songwriting that he shares with us all. There's no grandeur of super stardom in his eyes but at the same time when you see him and listen to his music you know that his starlight is sure to shine resplendently for all the world to receive.

Diva's Diamonds: When You've Done All That You Can...by Queen Diva 8-3-11
Posted on 11:26 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Have you ever heard the song by Donnie McClurkin ..."STAND"....What do you do and you've done all you can and it's never enough? What do you give when you've given your all and it seems like you can't make it through...Well, you just STAND...after you've done all that you can...YOU just STAND! I've been feeling this way for many months because I've been frustrated that I've planned, prepared and prayed and still I haven't seen the FRUITS of my LABOR. I feel like why am I doing all of this and sowing seeds into people, places and things and yet I'm not no where I dreamed, planned and hoped I would be by now. Sigh...If this sounds like you then I here to tell you and this is for me too...STOP IT!
Your labor is never in VAIN for God sees all that you say and do for the KINGDOM as well as for YOURSELF. Make sure that when you are petitioning to God about what you want that it first lines up with God and second that you are realistic about when you should receive what you are asking for. What I mean is if you are asking God for a million dollars then you have to be tested and tried for you to handle having a million dollars. You will have to show God you can handle being a "Dollarnaire!" LOL! It sounds funny but it's true! Are you able to balance your check book with zero to 1,000 dollars in your bank account consistently and effectively every month? If you are able to do that then God will show you that HE will give you more and more money to handle towards becoming a "Millionaire!" If you are believing God for a worldwide ministry or a national magazine publication or selling platinum records then you have to begin right where you are and diligently be a good steward over your finances, planning and volunteers who are helping you right now! Once you show God your commitment, excellence and determination that you are working diligent towards success and not just selfishly then you will see God elevate you from glory to glory to glory! Hallelujah!
I know this may not be something that you want to hear. Believe me when I tell you this is for me too!!! I have been waiting patiently and diligently for many things that God has promised me for 7, 15, 20 years now, but I can honestly say that I'm much closer now than I ever was! I get EXTREMELY frustrated from time to time and I've even shed a tear or two over the years in waiting and watching others I know personally succeed in doing what I've dreamed and prepared myself to do for 20 years! But "Great is thy Faithfulness!" God LOVES a FAITHFUL servant who LOVES HIM and seek HIS face and GLORY and not just FAME & FORTUNE!
Yes...It may be very hard for you right now and you may be eating macaroni & cheese every night or ramen noodles or you may be eating syrup and bread but you are eating and God sees YOU! HE sees the tears you cry and the struggle you go through every single day! YOU are not forgotten nor forsaken by God! Stay FAITHFUL, COMMITTED AND OBEDIENT to what God has told you to do! Even if you haven't heard from God in a LOOOONNNNGGGG while! Just go by the last word you did receive from God and know that HE's got you in HIS hands!
Stay focused, steadfast and immovable! After you've done ALL you can...you just STAND! STAND on God's WORD...the one HE gave you and the Holy Bible you can read over and over again!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!
Love, Laughter & Light,
Queen Diva

Diva's Diamonds' Beautiful Person of the DAY by Queen Diva 7-27-11
Posted on 01:23 by Unknown
Diva's Diamonds Beautiful Person of the Day:
Amar Taborn...An American author, personality, speaker and talk show host of Amar Action in Hollywood California. He began my journey being introduced to the exciting world of music and entertainment by his childhood friend Lana Moorer, known professionally as one of Hip Hop's Female Rapper Pioneer MC Lyte, who introduced him to a impromptu career of acting and modeling jobs. This lifestyle took him to great experiences and celebrity acquaintanceship. Sharing meals with some of the industries most luminary acts of the time then one day as they were sitting and having dinner with Queen Latifah and Vernon Reid, he knew how exciting his life had become. Years later he learned that his lifestyle was contributing to his poor physical, mental and emotionally health.
Amar discovered that food has powerful effects on the human body, and partaking in higher energy foods we can evolve to amazing experiences. After dramatic weight loss, by changing to a raw food diet and incorporating exercise, Amar wrote a book called "Free Food." Amar decided to use his life to lead and to give to the world....LOVE. In 2010 he began a talk show called "Amar Action," in New York City and has recently relocated to Hollywood, CA. The new season will kick off in September 2011! Amar Action is a talk show that uses the expansiveness of social technology. It's focus is on discovering who we are as love, and how to use positive vibrations. Join Amar in Action and share your inspirational thoughts with him and his battery of international followers by tuning in!
What makes Amar Taborn beautiful is his abundance of LOVE that pours out of him daily through is words and his actions! He coined the phrase, "I love we" and it is a total reflection of who he is because Amar, which means love, always speaks melodiously of love to the tune of "we" in every sentence that he speaks!

Diva's Diamonds: Walking in Love for 12 months & counting by Queen Diva 7-11-110
Posted on 11:06 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
I can't believe that 12 months have come and gone that fast!!! When I started this blog I merely just wanted to release what was inside of me for many months but God had other plans for this blog. Instead of this being about me it was about God working through me and test me as well as others what God expects from us! But also to share what HE has planned for us to do in complete obedience to HIM! I started this blog talking about "Walking in LOVE" and I had to do that because I was getting attacked spiritually through family. They just did not understand my "FAITH Walk" and I was criticized and attacked for the choices I made that they didn't agree with at all! But I had to remain faithful and obedient to what GOD was telling me no matter what it looked like and what was coming against me because I knew all along that God had me in HIS hands! I had to learn to LOVE others no matter what because that is what HE COMMANDS us to do! That was one of the two commandments that Jesus Christ said just before HE was crucified on the cross. HE said to LOVE one another as you love yourself and to LOVE the Lord God with all of your heart, mind soul and strength!
Through my turbulent dealings with my family I learned how to LOVE and FORGIVE! It was by no means an easy thing to do, but I learned by praying, fasting, reading the Holy Bible and I read Joyce Meyer's "The LOVE Revolution! This book had a profound effect on me and how I was to LOVE others! If you had told me that I my family would try to commit me in a psyche ward last year just a month after I started this blog in August 2010 and then a year later I would be appointed to be the 2011 National Spokesperson for Integrity Beauty Women of Excellence and 2011 Inaugural Integrity Beauty Woman of Grace I would have told you were CRAZY! LOL! But it happened and I know that God showed me just like Joseph the Dreamer was caste in a pit by his brothers because they despised the love that their father had for him and were extremely jealous of the anointing that was upon his life I too had to understand that even when family do things to you that hurt you deeply you must STILL walk in LOVE! I can share this testimony now because I'm a healed from it and I want to be a beacon of light to all who have encountered pain and strife from their family unwarranted or called for in their lives.
12 months and counting I can say that I have grown tremendously in my "LOVE Walk" and I know that there are millions of people who have encountered so much worse from family and perhaps friends too! I want to tell you that walking in LOVE is the only way to keep your sanity, peace, love and joy in your LIFE! Your life will be so much sweeter and even those that cursed you will see their day or days numbered when the Lord Thy God take care of them in HIS divine timing. I believe the next 12 months, years or decades that Diva's Diamonds will shine even more resplendently to all the world! God knows the plans that HE has for me, plans for a hope and a future. (Read Jeremiah 29:11) I understand that scripture more and more as the days go by! I truly don't know the whole plan that God has for me or for Diva's Diamonds but the part that I do know I will continuously be obedient to doing my part to walk in excellence, peace and mostly importantly WALK IN LOVE!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

Diva's Diamonds: Walk In Your Calling by Queen Diva 5-26-11
Posted on 11:36 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
I watched Oprah Winfrey's Show Finale yesterday and all I could do was SMILE! For the first time on her show she actually acknowledged God the Father and holding Jesus' hand along with an excellent staff as the reason for her success for the last 25 years on syndicated television! I was beaming from ear to ear because there is no way that a woman who is blessed as she is could not acknowledge God's hand on her life as well as the FAVOR of God upon her life! The final message she addressed was for us all to "Walk In Your Calling...right where you ARE!" Those words pierced through my soul right in my gut because I was beginning to wonder if "Diva's Diamonds: Words to Inspire, Empower & Encourage" was making a difference to anyone! I have been writing this blog for almost a year come July 2011 and I've rarely gotten any responses nor have I gotten any statistics to show no more than about 20 people reading this blog! LOL! But God tells me to keep writing because even the 20 people and 7 subscribers that are reading this blog from all over the world are being blessed by every word written just for them!
Walk in your calling no matter where you are and how many people you touch for God is working on something bigger for you while you are faithful and obedient in working in excellence right where you are! Now is not the time to get bogged down by what you are not doing or how much more money you want or even how much more you would like to be doing! It's about the right now and preparing for what's NEXT! Sometimes in life the RIGHT NOW is going to be boring and you won't feel like you are not making a difference while washing someone's car or handing out hot food or singing in the choir or even ushering people to their seats on Sunday morning! But remember every service is ministry to someone right at the moment! MINISTRY is service and SERVICE is ministry!
Remember your CALLING and your DREAMS go hand in hand because God place them both upon you and HE wants to see you walk in your CALLING and see you LIVE your DREAMS! Only in complete OBEDIENCE to God and allowing God's GRACE & FAVOR flow through you will allow everything to manifest freely!
I challenge you on this day to WALK IN YOUR CALLING and stay FOCUSED, OBEDIENT, FAITHFUL & PREPARED for what God has NEXT in store for you! It's not going to be easy and it may take longer than you expect but know that God will do what HE said HE would do for you in due SEASON!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

Diva's Diamonds' Beautiful Person of the Day:
Abby Dobson...An American singer, songwriter and performer from New York City described as "soulful" and "organic." Some singers need to be surrounded by a variety of equipment to move people, but this powerful artist simply needs an audience. She is one of those rare songbirds that effortlessly stimulate sensual, soulful and raw emotions using just her vocal instrument, a voice that you don’t just hear…you feel it. I've known this beautiful vocalist for years as a member of my female singer-songwriter collective called "Soul Divas Night Out" and I dubbed her "Soul Diva" because her voice blessed you right down to your soul each and every time she sang! She is presently promoting her latest CD "Sleeping Beauty: Are you the one you have been waiting on?" on her own independent label LadyBraveBird Music. She will be performing at the Blue Note Jazz Festival in New York City on June 5, 2011 and has made her debut appearance recently at the Kennedy Arts Center in Washington, DC earlier this year!
What makes her beautiful is her humble approach to singing a song and totally allowing her gift to just rise from her soul. When she opens her mouth the notes just pour out of her and spread around the room to embrace you with LOVE, GOODNESS, and PURITY where GOOSEBUMPS just can't help but flow all up and down your arms to your spine! How divine is her gift of song that truly is SOUL MUSIC!

Diva's Diamonds: Backspace Button
Posted on 12:15 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Two days ago my "Backspace Button" just popped off while I was typing an email and I just could not get it back on the keyboard! I tried and tried and to no avail I was able to get it back on. I've only had this laptop for a year but I've been writing on it every single day all day long since I bought it with my 2009 Income Tax Refund! The amazing thing is the "Backspace Button" is the only button that popped off and none of the other buttons are loose or out of place! I went to the public library yesterday and I took the "Backspace Button" with me in my left jean pocket and I figured I would just try again later to put it back on. All the while I kept hearing God tell me...Daughter, you didn't realize just how much you go "BACKWARDS" when you write until you lost the "BACKSPACE BUTTON" and now you have to touch the button without it's cover! Daughter, You must learn to not use the "BACKSPACE BUTTON" so much and just learn to type exactly what you mean to say and just slow down your pace until you get used to not using the button at all.
I heard God clearly say that to me and yet I kept using the "BACKSPACE BUTTON" and it was a strange feeling to touch the rubber button underneath the flat surface plate that I've had in my pocket. When I met up with my Sister in Christ and I showed her the "BACKSPACE BUTTON" she just shook her head knowing exactly what I was about to say. I said, "How many of us go backwards far too many times in our lives in the mist of trying to move forward? Why am I carrying around a "BACKSPACE BUTTON" in my pocket?" I looked at the button as I was asking her the question but I was really asking myself.
Too many times we seem to rely on going backwards because it's familiar or convenient or easier to do! We are basically a living breathing "BACKSPACE BUTTON!" But that's not what God intends for us to do each day of our lives! We are to live our lives more ABUNDANTLY and we cannot do that going backwards or carrying "BACKSPACE BUTTONS" in our pockets just in case we need to use it. I really had no idea how much I used this button. Even as I write this blog I know I've used the "BACKSPACE BUTTON" at least 100 times. I truly have to work on not relying on this button and make a conscious effort to spell my words correctly and type the right letters! Just like in our lives we must be mindful of the choices we make that will not take us back 20 steps after we've just completed walking 100 a few moments ago.
I challenge you are to be more conscious of how often you use your "BACKSPACE BUTTON" and make an effort to not rely on it anymore. Just like when you are driving and looking at your rear view mirror you cannot stay fixed looking backwards because you will never know what God has in store for you in reaching your destination when you look forward. Don't carry your "BACKSPACE BUTTON" around with you! Use the "SPACE BAR" and keep moving forward and watch God take you to places you've never DREAMED!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!
Love, Laughter & Light,

My Next Level of Living! I have been on an AMAZING Faith Walk for the last 7 years once I accepted my call to ministry. I have been through many disappointments, trials, tribulations, loss, triumphs and awesome moments of GRATITUDE! I asked God to make me a VESSEL and I truly didn't know what I was asking God! LOL! But what a journey I've been on that has taken me from Washington D.C. to the FEMA Headquarters with the Katrina/Rita Hurricane Victims seeking an extension of their Housing Vouchers to the Pacific Garden Mission's The Gospel League Home Shelter Women's Lighthouse Bible Program in Chicago, ILL for a 90 day internship in Women Ministry. I've ministered to men in prisons in Angola, Louisiana as well as to women in medical prisons in Houston, Texas. I've hosted and produced my own radio show on KPFT 90.1 FM called Divine Voices with Queen Diva for 2 years where I ministered to 6.5 million listeners in the Houston/Galveston area in simplest terms that God is everywhere, in everything and LOVES everybody. I studied at the Dallas Theological Seminary School in conjunction with Inspire Women Leadership Institute where I was the first guest Psalmist and graduated in the Charter Inspire Women Leadership Institute Leadership Certificate Graduation in 2009.
Now beginning Wednesday, March 30, 2011 my NEXT LEVEL of LIVING will begin as I will be crowned the Inaugural Integrity Beauty Woman of Grace 2011 as a National Ambassador of the Integrity Beauty Women of Excellence Christian Women Network of Ohio and ordained Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by Reverend Raymond E. Allen of Champions for Christ Ministries! I know that after this day my world will never be the same and my official charge will be given to me by Lord God Almighty! I have been in a reflective mode all day long and truly thankful for every tear I've shed and laughter that has sprung from my soul! I never imagined this is where I would be 20 years after I graduated from Prairie View A&M University, a part of the Texas A&M University system, that I would be right here! I know where I've been and I know who I am and soon I will be ministering in MY NEXT LEVEL OF LIVING...
For those of you who are about to embark into your NEXT LEVEL OF LIVING my prayer for you is to hold on to the PEACE of GOD in all that you do and everywhere that you go so that you can continually TRUST GOD at HIS WORD for everything in your LIFE! For others who haven't got to their NEXT LEVEL...Keep LIVING...PRAYING...FASTING...PREVAILING...STUDYING...INTERCEDING...
BELIEVING GOD at HIS WORD...For "It Ain't Over Until God Says It's Over!"
Love, Laughter & Light,

Today's Diva's Diamonds:
It's A New Season...It's a new day! Spring is almost here!!! Are you ready for the change of SEASON? Every 4 months we have a new SEASON whether we are ready for it or not! Spring into Summer into Fall into Winter without fail our weather is going to change. Animals are going to prepare for their homes, food and families to adjust to the change of temperature. What are you doing for your new SEASON? Are you doing anything at all? You should because with every change of season come a new year and with a new year comes a new age added to your LIFE! Time waits for no one and that includes you reading this blog right now! Yes, YOU reading this blog right now you have to prepare for your new SEASON! You can no longer afford to just wait until the last minute anymore for you are getting older and you have to prepare for what's coming next in your life. If you do not then you will continue to either scramble around when you need a new coat or gloves or shorts and sandals! Or you will do without and suffer through the change of weather without the needed clothes and equipment that you need to survive or thrive! It's time for you to THRIVE and not just survive through SEASONS!!! God wants you to LIVE your LIFE more abundantly not in the "Just Enough" phase anymore. But you won't if you don't start prepare and planning for your NEW SEASON!
I can speak from experience....when I was pregnant with my daughter I knew she was in my belly and I knew she was growing and I knew she was coming but I didn't prepare like I really should have. It wasn't until my girlfriends on my job gave me a baby shower at 6 months that I realized I really need to prepare for my daughter's arrival! That was 6 month way too late for me to wake up and prepare but I was in my late 20's and I really didn't have a clue what I was doing as a young mother. I continued to do things like that for many years until a wonderful woman of God asked me when did you prepare for your daughter's arrival and I realized it wasn't until 6 months into my pregnancy that I started to prepare and she then arrived in the 8th month. So I only had two month after my wake up call to actually prepare for her. I have to say I was truly blessed to have family and friends who came to my rescue to assist me with her from the day that she was born, but what if I didn't have assistance? What if I had no one to help me? I never forgot that and I changed over the years in preparing for things to come. I leave room for God to guide and direct me now more than ever but I learned that I have to prepare for whatever happens in the coming seasons.
I shared this to say that God wants us to be ready for what HE is presenting to us in every new season. We can no longer just wait until the last minute because God is ready to take us to higher heights and greener pastures. God is waiting on us to be ready to receive, mature to take on new responsibilities and patient enough to endure character building experiences to refine us to become "P.I.N.K. Diamonds" and shine resplendently!
I challenge you to be more conscience of being prepared for what is to come NEXT in your LIFE! The NEW SEASON is going to come! Will you be ready for the New Season....for it will be a NEW DAY just as sure as the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!
Love, Laughter & Light,
Queen Diva
