A diva accepts herself as she is right now and strives to be even better.
She doesn't change who she is to fit someone else's idea of what she ought to be.
She reaches for her own ideal sense of whom she wants to be.
She's strong; she's courageous; she's creative.
I'm new to the forum. I went back to College at the age of 37 and am just graduating this December. For my senior project I helped design a trip for women in Costa Rica. We still have space for up to seven more women. If you're interested in a relaxing and fun program check out the link below.
Hey, my name is Heather age 34. I live in Northern Illinois and have been married for 7 months (April 21, 2011). I have three children from a previous marriage (13g, 11g, 7b), one step daughter (, a dog, and a cat. (lol) I found this group when trying to find a way to meet other women and build friendship and communication on things that concern me and others as well.
I am a full time mom and student, going to school for Early Childhood Education to become a Preschool Teacher.
Has anyone heard of the new show The Lying Game? I work with ABC Family, and I’m here to bring you all the details about this summer’s newest drama! The Lying Game tells the story of Emma and Sutton two identical twins who were separated at birth. Once they finally meet each other, they decide to switch lives for a few days…only to have one of them mysteriously disappear. And added bonus, it’s based on the book series by Sara Shepard – the Pretty Little Liars author! It’s going to be full of mystery and intrigue, so make sure to catch it all from the beginning on Monday, August 15 at 9/8c!
I think your tone as a first post is a bit off-putting. And I am not a SAHM, nor do I desire to be one.
I am part of a couple message board communities and I have noticed that the people who have a hard time on them are ones that come on making large assumptions and comments that could be perceived as super-negative about large groups of people.
As an aside, it's also helpful, like in real life, to keep your negative comments to yourself or not respond at all on certain topics.
Finally, I feel that it is important to just get to know a community and it's posters before you come in with guns blazing with opinions and such.
I agree. If the other women on boards are so unlikable to you, it may be smart to see if you are a part of the problem. I work part time but one of my best friends is a partner in a prestigious law firm. I am friends with nurses, chefs, college professors, EMTs and SAHMs. Being from different walks of life and different backgrounds adds to the friendships, it doesn't take away from them.
I do prefer people that I see as intelligent but I find that if I open my mind to many others, most people have something to offer me and to teach me.
I think my mom always wanted me to think Rice Krispies squares were a lot harder to make than they actually are...if baking is an art, Rice Krispies can be anything from the blank canvas to the finishing touches! http://ricekrispiesholiday.ca/
I'm new here, and I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this here. I was hoping for a little advice...
I'm a 21yo artist with a pretty harsh past. I'm just now getting over a VERY long history of rape and sexual abuse with the help of my best friend of 6 years (the first man to show me that caring, platonic relationships can exist between a man and a woman, he dragged me out of depression when my mom died as well), and also my boyfriend of 6 months (the first person I had the courage to tell about ALL the sexual abuse of my past, he's been nothing but supportive since day one).
I can admit right away, I've been in love with my best friend for years. I'm scared to tell him this. We tried dating before he went away to college (which isn't too far, two hours by car), but I was so terrified I'd lose him as a friend that I couldn't handle seeing him as a lover at the time. I didn't have the emotional maturity to meet him halfway. We never had sex, or even kissed.
Three years have passed, and we've both dated others since then. My current boyfriend wanted to meet some of my friends, so I invited him to my best friend's show. When we arrived at his campus, and I hugged my best friend again...all those feelings I tried to bury came rushing back, the way they always do. I love my boyfriend, but I'm in love with my best friend.
This is my first ever healthy, committed relationship; I can't just dump my boyfriend. But every time I so much as think about my best friend I feel like I'm cheating! Are there any methods to "reigning in" intense emotions? How do I handle this situation?
