<p style="text-align: center;">Attention <strong>D</strong>-riven, <strong>I</strong>-ntelligent, <strong>V</strong>-ivacious, <strong>A</strong>-chievers!</p>
<p>I am in the process of interviewing ladies to join my <strong>DIVA DREAM TEAM</strong>.  I will select and personally coach <strong>10 women</strong> to improve their health, free themselves from financial pain, find their passion, establish their dreams, create a strategy for success, and push themselves to live a life full of happiness, health, and wealth!</p>
<p>The first step is for us to meet so I can learn about your dreams.  I want to know if time and money were not an issue and you could redesign the next year of your life what would you do?  The 10 women that inspire me the most with their passion and drive will join the Diva Dream Team.  These 10 women will support one another in transforming their lives, creating a legacy for their loved ones, and coaching other women to do the same.</p>
<p>There are two things that STOP people from dreaming:<br />
#1 – They are in survival mode.<br />
#2 – They are not healthy.</p>
<p>It is a personal mission of mine to help hundreds of women to reach their financial freedom day and achieve optimal health so they can be FREE TO DREAM bigger than they ever thought possible.  Would you like to join me on this mission?</p>
<p>I look forward to meeting the women that dream as big or bigger than me and are willing to take the action needed to achieve their dreams.  What’s your dream and more importantly what are you willing to do about it?  It’s never too late to make a dream come true so just decide you are committed and let me and my team support you to get there!</p>
<p>Expect success!</p>

<p><strong>Please e-mail Meeshie, the Event Manager, at info@D-LuxEvents.com if you are interested in volunteering.  Just say you heard about it through The Diva Center.</strong></p>
<p>Date: Saturday, March 13, 2010<br />
Time: 10am-4pm<br />
Location: Downtown SD on 6th Ave in b/w J &amp; K<br />

<p><strong>Live Well Project Info . . .</strong><br />
In San Diego, there are between 1,500 and 2,000 young adults without a home. Some run away from abusive homes, some have lost their families to illness or violence. These young adults need support, education, inspiration, leadership, empowerment, and awareness. Optimal Nutrition, LandMarK Events, &amp; Olive PR believes that our expertise in passion for health &amp; fitness can help to achieve these goals. Many underprivileged young individuals lack basic knowledge of health and fitness. Learning to nourish and strengthen their bodies is an important step in taking control of their lives.</p>
<p>Youth on the street often turn to drugs, alcohol, and violence as an escape from what may seem like unchangeable circumstances. Those who are taken into shelters have been blessed with the opportunity to rise from adversity. The next step is to empower them with the knowledge and confidence they need to build better lives for themselves.</p>
<p>It only takes a spark! A glimpse of the benefits of health and an assurance that it can be achieved simply with adequate knowledge opens up doors: new friends, curiosity of more health education, easy &amp; inexpensive cooking techniques, seeking out mentors, being challenged, new horizons and boundless opportunities. Most importantly, it paves the road to emotional and physical well-being.</p>
<p>Our Team wants to emphasize the importance of health and confidence to young women through a special day of fitness, health, and self-esteem boosting events. Our target group is 12-19 year old inner city girls.  The mission is impart the knowledge that a parent would: how to take care of oneself physically and emotionally. This day will include activities related to feeling attractive, fitness, and healthy eating.  Giveaways and prizes will include: clothing, grooming kits, manicure/pedicure, hair styling, dental and make-up service gift certificates. We will create a fun and educational environment with talks/seminars on healthy eating and volunteer-lead exercise groups. Donations from nutritional, local fitness facilities, clothing and sporting companies will provide the guests with tangible memories of the day!</p>
<p>A very special service provided will be to give each girl a “mentor for a day.” Each young woman will be paired with a local female entrepreneur to question, confide in, and learn from. We hope to foster connections that will span beyond just this day, giving these girls a knowledge and accessible woman to inspire, educate and support them.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We can learn a lot from Stephen Covey's In his #1 bestseller,  7 Habits of Highly Effective People, when presented through a framework for personal effectiveness.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Summary of Stephen R. Covey&#8217;s &#8211; The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</strong></p>
<p>In his #1 bestseller, Stephen R. Covey presented a framework for personal effectiveness.</p>
<p><strong>SUMMARY OF THE SEVEN HABITS</strong></p>
<p><strong>Habit 1:  Be Proactive<br />
</strong>Change starts from within, and highly effective people make the decision to improve their lives through the things that they can influence rather than by simply reacting to external forces.</p>
<p><strong>Habit 2:  Begin with the End in Mind</strong><br />
Develop a principle-centered personal mission statement. Extend the mission statement into long-term goals based on personal principles.</p>
<p><strong>Habit 3:  Put First Things First<br />
</strong>Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the proper balance between production and building production capacity. Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for each of them.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Habit 4:  Think Win/Win<br />
</strong>Seek agreements and relationships that are mutually beneficial. In cases where a &#8220;win/win&#8221; deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that agreeing to make &#8220;no deal&#8221; may be the best alternative. In developing an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior among employees and avoid inadvertantly rewarding win/lose behavior.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Habit 5:  Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood<br />
</strong>First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be understood. Stephen Covey presents this habit as the most important principle of interpersonal relations. Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said through the lens of one&#8217;s own experience. Rather, it is putting oneself in the perspective of the other person, listening empathically for both feeling and meaning.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Habit 6:  Synergize<br />
</strong>Through trustful communication, find ways to leverage individual differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve conflicts and find a better solution than would have been obtained through either person&#8217;s own solution.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Habit 7:  Sharpen the Saw<br />
</strong>Take time out from production to build production capacity through personal renewal of the physical, mental, social/emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Maintain a balance among these dimensions.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Recommended Reading<br />
Covey, Stephen R., The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</strong></p>
