 I
Am Diva!, by Elena Bates, Maureen O'Crean, Molly
Thompson and Carilyn Vaile
If there was a self-help book perfect for reviewing at DivaTribe,
I
Am Diva! would be it! It's a weekly guide to freeing
your inner Diva and living an outrageous life, written by four
women. This book takes you through a year's worth of lessons that
will teach, inspire, motivate and entertain. If you feel like
there's not enough time, not enough energy and not enough reasons
to embark on yet another quest for your "real" life,
think again and give I
Am Diva! a look. More than just a real life,
it will help you find your FUN
life!
From the back cover:
"The four Divas who wrote this book...come together from
different ages and stages of life. They are thin and full-figured,
married and single, with children and without. That have successfully
navigated the fields of fashion design, nursing, Internet consulting,
business and more - and now offer their collective vision on
redefining a woman's self-worth...as a Diva!"
The book is divided into 13 sections and covers 52 weeks. The
four different authors take turns writing the various sections,
and they always "sign" their writings, so you know which
woman is giving which piece of advice or insight. At the end of
each week's reading you will find the "Diva-Do's", which
are your exercises and activities for the week. Most sections
also include a more outrageous Diva-Do, for the truly brave and
fun-loving Diva.
Keep in mind that this is about fun - there is a lot of talk about
feathery boas, glitter, and the color pink. There's still journaling
and the usual self-discovery type activities one might expect,
but this book exudes playfulness and joy throughout its pages,
and that can be a welcome breath of fresh air in the world of
"self-help" books.
