What is this "Diva" title?

I get a couple of different reactions when I tell people my nick name.   Diva - the name Donna Devine literally means Prima Dona which means Diva.    Do I know that when my dad chose my name this was his intention.  No, but it was predestined.  I do believe that.   Diva does not mean I get things my way, and if my caramel mocha latte has too much foam I am going to toss it in your face.  NO!

 It means I am confident in myself.  It means I am not afraid to express my thoughts in a direct manner.   It means I LOVE people and want to build life so that others can live.   It means I hold myself to a responsibility to look my best (and am always working on that).
 It means I am STRONG, even when I am weak.

But what is true strength in a Diva.. 
True strength is knowing I am only as strong as the ones I surround myself with.  True strength is constantly building up the people around me.   True strength is holding my tongue instead of using it to cut and destroy.    Today there are so many ways to tear down people.   Social Media has become a tool of violence in the wrong hands.   So,  let this be said.  My NOTES FROM THE DIVA, are here to uplift and encourage.  My daily struggles, my victories, my faith and my work will permeate these blogs.  Hopefully with humor and insight. 
SO
  - grab a chair and read on ... there are some past tales posted, and many more to come.
