~What Do Diamond's House and Mary Kay Have in Common for the Month of October~
Well, what do Diamond's House and Mary Kay both have in common for the month of October? We will be "joining forces" to help battle a common foe…domestic violence. As we all know, the month of October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month; and all across this great country many will be uniting as one, to help bring increased awareness and working towards eradicating this problem.
Since the year 2000, the Mary Kay Foundation has donated more than $28 million in grants to 150 domestic violence shelters in all 50 states. This year, Mary Kay will again be donating $3 million in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Domestic Violence is an issue that affects each and every one of us to some degree in the United States of America and abroad. It does not discriminate due to race, age, economic status, religion, nationality, gender or educational background.
Domestic Violence is a very serious matter and should not be taken lightly. One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. And most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police due to fear or not having a support system.
Let's all do our part Break the Silence and Stop the Violence. Family, friends and coworkers of victims can be their life line and can make a world of difference to victims of domestic violence. You can encourage, motivate and help them seek the needed resources to get out of their situation.
Don’t just sit back and do nothing if you know deep down in your heart of hearts that someone needs you and they are in a relationship that is toxic and experiencing domestic abuse. At the least, reach out to the person and let them know that you are there for them.
Before you even have that conversation; you can even do a little research and provide them with the name of a few shelters, and support groups, and other pertinent information in your area.
As stated before, domestic violence is rapidly on the rise; and we need everyone to get on board to help with eradicating this issue and restoring peace, love and security back into the lives and homes of families that have been impacted by this hateful act. Not just in the month of October, but all year.
I'm so impressed by the awesome work Mary Kay has been doing to help eradicate is issue. The company has donated nearly $28 million dollars over the last few years to help build shelters for the victims of domestic violence and their families.
This is such an awesome thing and it is to be commended for its efforts and donations. Because it's not easy for someone to have to pick up and start over with their young ones. We at Diamond's House Inc. are not in a position to contribute as much as Mary Kay or compete on that level (yet), but we will continue to do our part to help eradicate domestic violence as well.
Diamond's House is committed to helping domestic violence victims, but we cannot do it without your support. If this message resonates with you and would like to help our cause, your contributions would be greatly appreciated. Join our Purple Ribbon Campaign and help eradicate domestic abuse.

~Life~
Life (Living In Full Effect). You only live once...Live life to the fullest...Everyday!
We all have special gifts and talents that resides within us. What will you do with your gift today? Bury it, hide it away from the world out of fear...or will you showcase who are and you were created to be? You were created to shine - never ever let anyone dull the glory/honor that radiants from you.
In life, we are all face with challenges on daily basis. However, life's challenges are not suppose to paralyze/cripple you; they are suppose to help you discover exactly who you are and what you want out of life. Each and everyday is another step in your life's journey. And if you stay consistent and keep moving; you will definitely reach the finish line!
Life will not always be easy! However,we must hold on to our faith and speak positive things into existence. We must not become stagnated in life. Regardless of how many goals you have achieved/accomplished in life; you must constantly set your sights on a higher ones. And never ever stop elevating and empowering yourself. Invest time into your personal development. Knowledge is powerful!
For every negative in your life, counteract and feed your mind with positive thoughts. Choose thoughts, friends and situations that will elevate/empower your life. Your environment directly affects your development...if possible try to surround yourself with people that will encourage and stimulate your mind. If you have people in your life that are toxic and draining; it's best to remove them. Remember ~Season, Reason or Lifetime~ and this goes for family and friends. Life is too short.

~Everyone Was Empowered~
Diamond's House - Stop Domestic Abuse Awareness Workshop was a success! It was a day of caring, sharing and the beginning of healing for many. Everyone was presented with purple ribbons as they arrived to signify that they are against domestic violence. The powerful presenters really empowered the audience as they delivered presentations on the the following topics: 3T's- Time, Trust and Testimony (Baron Howard), Toxic Relationships (Liletta Thompson), We All Are Defective (Chris Barnes), Woman Against Violence (Diana Chappell-Lewis), Be Aware Of Your Surroundings (Katrina Riddick) and Trusting Your Intuition (Linda Kinchley). The audience was also empowered by poetry, poems and mime. Amy Velazquez, delivered a powerful message, "Sorry, I Love You" and Elora Artis also delivered a powerful message through the poem, "I Got Flowers Today" and 9 year old Malique Hawkins, perform an amazing mime performance to Kirk Franklin's song "Smile".
There was candid dialogue among the group and the presentators. It was a Domestic Abuse Awareness Workshop...however, this event touched on so many areas and everyone was able to leave with great take-aways. It was an empowering experience overall for everyone!
Domestic violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of scars or bruises. It's devasting to be abused by someone that you love and who you think loved you back. For every victim who thinks no one understands there are thousands who not only understands, but share in your pain and sorrow. Always remember that you are not ALONE! www.thehotline.org
Like a flower, bloom into the beauty of you...petal by petal. Break the SLIENCE! STOP the VIOLENCE! You are a pecious gem!

~Get Proactive, Get Active, Get Results~
Happy Wednesday! Feeling great and ready to face the challenges of today . Looking forward to another day of eating healthy (liquids until noon and healthy meals afterwards), vitamins, exercise and uplifting and creating. Thanks to those who are joining in on this journey. We will be doing this through the end of July. ~Get Proactive, Get Active, Get Results~
COLIN POWELL'S SPEECH ---POSITIVE WORDS OF INFLUENCE---READ AND SHARE WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE....
The less time you associate yourself with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it only increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.
Consider this:
Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. "A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad
Note: Be not mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends. Yes...do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family no matter what. Just know that they are human first and though they are family to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria above.
" IN PROSPERITY, OUR FRIENDS KNOW US. DURING ADVERSITY, WE KNOW OUR FRIENDS."
"Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them."
"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.
Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude."
Colin Powell

If you haven't done so, take some time today and set some F.A.I.T.H goals. They will make a major difference in your life. Have a productive day!
