What is a diva? Per the dictionary: a distinguished female singer; prima donna; often used negatively to describe a celebrity in film or music who is extremely demanding and fussy when it comes to personal privileges.
Divas have gotten a bad name in the past. They were seen as fabulous women who knew they were fabulous, swaying to the side of vanity and high maintenance. I maintain a truly divine diva is none of the above. She is a woman who knows that life is not about her but rather the contribution she makes to others around her and the legacy she will leave behind.
Divas never just walk into a room, they arrive! Their bearing and manner sends the signal loud and clear that "I am a woman set apart." They never exit a room without leaving a part of themselves behind. A rich deposit of wisdom, an encouraging word, something seemingly intangible yet profound, that leaves a lasting impression on the hearts of those who interacted with them.
A Diva lives a centered life. Centered in the knowledge of her God, her purpose, and what is truly important. Because she is centered, she is sure-footed when the seasons of her life change. She adjusts without resistance or trepidation, valuing change as a necessary component of a life that explores and reaches its fullest potential. She takes one day at a time.
