Rise And Shine, DIVA!

Keep Your Light. Fuel Your Faith. Rise And Shine!

The word DIVA can get a bad rap sometimes, often bringing to mind a temperamental, “spoiled,” or demanding woman. However, the original meaning of the word is “highly distinguished female vocalist,” “fine woman,” and even “goddess.” In this book, DIVA happens to stand for Doing what you love In a spirit of Vibrantly Affirming your soul. That’s why being a true diva is an identity you can claim as your birthright. Even if you are not a renowned opera singer (or at least, not yet), you are a divinely created being who is here to elevate your mind, open your heart, amplify your voice, and rise! 

Women are often culturally conditioned to shrink or sink, to prioritize the demands of those “in charge,” and to please everyone but ourselves. But we can choose a different path. Even if the unspoken expectation is to dim our true light and fit into labels and boxes, a true diva refuses to be caged or leashed—at least not for long. She knows that to truly be alive, she cannot sacrifice her dreams and destiny for the comfort and convenience of anyone else. Instead, she dares to drop the people-pleasing and create from her soul. This is the way to explore and express her gifts, embrace how she was truly made, and pursue her true passion and purpose.

In this daybook of encouragement and inspiration, you’ll be invited to consider one uplifting adjective to begin your day. You’ll also be challenged to reflect on what it means to embody that word. Through 366 affirming messages, you’ll rediscover the strength and courage to step into your greatness and spark real change—not just in your own life, but for those in your care and in the world around you. Each message in Rise And Shine, DIVA! will help you reconnect with that magical spark of Light and Love from above, around, and within you. As you move forward and allow your creative passion to transform you from the inside out, you’ll radiate the remembrance of who you are, whose you are, why you’re here, and where you are going. 

Now is your time to rise and shine!
