A Tru Diva knows how to celebrate her special day

Divas,

Today I celebrate my 50th Birthday. I am truly grateful that God has brought me through another year, safe and sound. There have been bumps and bruises along the way, as I am sure there will be many more to come. I have learned that amidst all of the cards, flowers, balloons and gifts, the lasting memories of this birthday come from the time I spent with my friends, family and one very special man.

I continue to learn many things about myself, among them the joy of living my life according to my values and priorities. My girlfriend asked me today, when I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, did I have any regrets of the things I had done within the last 72 hours (I am sure that she was referring to my belly piercing). I did not hesitate for a moment on the answer, It was a resounding "NO". A Tru Diva tries to live her life without regret.

So publicly, I wanted to thank all of those people who made this Diva's 50th Birthday the best that I have ever, ever had.

A Tru Diva knows how to celebrate each day and especially the day that her "Light" was born into the world.

The "Must Haves" of A Tru Diva's Closet

Divas,

Now that you have gone through your closet and kept those clothes that make your Soul Stir when you look in the mirror, it's time to move on to our next project.

In order to look Fabulously Divaerish (I know, I know, there is no such word as Divaerish, I made that up:), there are a few basic staples that are "must haves" in every Diva's Closet. These are the clothes that can create many different outfits with the right accessories, etc. So let's begin. We will look at 1 piece in each of our next 11 posts.

Classic Shirts - I love men’s' shirts. I love the way they fit, I love the way they look and how sexy I feel when I wear them. So when I am looking for shirts, I tend to gravitate towards the men's section of stores. I usually chose shirts with buttons on the sleeve but I am starting to venture out and try shirts with French cuffs. I've been looking for some great cuff links to create a signature style all my own.

You should find shirts that feel comfortable and look good on you. Make sure you know your body type, how to accentuate your best features and hide your flaws. If you need help, remember to check out www.myshape.com.

Please remember that you are a truly beautiful and unique individual. There is no one else like you in this world. Make your mark! Define your Style! Don't let others (be it designers, society or family and friends) dictate who you ARE or place unrealistic expectations on who you should be. Only you should have that privilege.
