You Really Want to be Called a Diva?

I don't believe that many do not really realize what a diva is and most of the time people don't want to work with someone that is a "diva". Let's break it down. Diva means prima donna, a popular female singer or a usually successful female performer or personality. Prima donna means a vain or undisciplined person who finds it difficult to work under direction or part of a team. Most of the time the people we call divas do not nor cannot sing, which raises a question. Why do we call ourselves, our daughters or someone else divas? What qualifies? I ask because by definition it can either be one or the other. I wouldn't want someone to call me a diva because it sounds good. Do we realize what we are speaking over ourselves and our daughters. We are saying, "My baby is a diva!" with all excitement but if we do it by definition we are also saying, "My baby is vain and undisciplined and cannot work under direction of someone else nor part of a team!" How does that sound? I know most would think that this maybe taking it too far but ask yourself this, is this how you want people to view you and your daughter or someone else you love? Is this how you view yourself? There are so many other things that you could call yourself and your daughter that would actually be more fitting and classy.
What is my point in saying all of this? Don't run up behind words because someone uses them and you think its cute. In the end you will find out that some of the words hurts you and to others really isn't cute at all.

Is It Better to be Quiet?

Often times I wonder if it's better to be quiet or be bold;
Whether to be hot or cold
Or to keep it in...leaving your feelings on hold.
Tell me
Let me know
Do I hold it in
Or do I let it show
Either way, I better say something
Holding it in is worth nothing
Just like rain or shine
True feelings will show
Holding it in
Is an absolute NO!
But there is a way about doing it too
No need to become belligerent; showing the size of your shoe
Instead show the size of God's heart
Saying how you feel without ripping someone apart
Being quiet becomes a ticking bomb
Ready to show somebody the inside of your palm
Quietness is only a virtue for so long
Then wear your friends out with them same sad songs
Speak...but with dignity and class
Let not ignorance be bliss; but let your character last!
