So Where Do I Begin.......

Where Do I Begin…..

At the beginning seems to be the appropriate place! I started tossing around the idea of starting a blog several years ago when I entered Corporate America. I was 24 years old…just out of law school, and trying to find my way around a courtroom. More importantly, I was trying to balance being a Professional and a self-proclaimed Diva (the good kind of Diva of course!) And then it came to me like an epiphany...I can do both! The truth is that being a Professional Diva is not that hard at all! It does, however, take a certain amount of class, discipline, and style to pull it off…and everyone is not up for the task.

Since 24, I have been fortunate enough to learn a few things that have helped me to transition into the World of ProDivadum. I have also been blessed to meet people from all walks of life who have helped to shape several aspects of my life, including my relationships, career, style, health, intellect, and the list goes on. I would be remiss if I did not share these jewels with my fellow and future Professional Divas.

So here I am, 5 years later and wiser, and I’m hoping that my fellow Professional Divas, and Pro Divas in training, can share this journey with me. I want to hear your comments (the good, the bad, and the ugly). Interested? Well then subscribe now, and let’s talk! Hopefully we can figure out this professional stuff and preserve our fabulousness all in one swooping motion…while wearing some amazing shoes! After all, that’s what Professional Divas do!
