June 1st I will officially kick off 30 days of celebrating me!
Starting tomorrow, I’m doing something that may come off a little selfish to many. If you’re anything like me, taking time out for yourself usually gets pushed down to the bottom of the bottom of your to-do list.
Back in February, I shared with you all that I was a Love Ambassador for the Madly in Love With Me Campaign. I truly believe, if we can’t love and accept ourselves, then we can’t do the same for others.
As women, we wear many different hats – wife, mother, sister, friend, employee, boss, aunt, daughter, entrepreneur, the list could go and on forever. While we change and stack on those hats, it’s very easy to cover up and neglect the number one diva.
During the month of June, I will be focused on celebrating me. Why? Well, mainly because I definitely deserve it. We all do. We all deserve to celebrate and recognize how wonderful we are. That’s not selfishness or cockiness speaking, that’s truth. Look in the mirror. (yep, I’ll wait…)
Say it with me – I am one AWESOME DIVA!
My other reason is quite selfish – June is my birthday month and I truly believe in celebrating all month-long. Birthdays are special to me. They are a culmination of a year of life and a chance to celebrate and recognize the beginning of a new one – full of promise, prosperity and joy. Birthdays are a celebration of the birth of you. That in itself is enough to break out the cake and ice cream!
I invite you to join me on my month-long celebration. I’m a realistic (and frugal!) diva, so believe me when I say I’m looking for simple and easy ways to treat myself. The purpose of this is to take a moment each day to reflect on myself, my purpose and give thanks for another year of life.
If you’re on Instagram, feel free to follow me as I’ll be posting pictures using the hashtag #DWPSelfLove – feel free to use it, too! I’ll, also, be posting pictures from time to time on our Facebook page – come on over and connect with us! Look for a post at the end of the month recapping all the fun I had – and sharing how I incorporated some of your ideas!
What are some fun and simple ways to celebrate YOU?

A very good way to celebrate yourself. It’s good to know that you have to do this for yourself and you deserve it.

Most women get forgotten. I hate it because in my house I am the only female and when everyone is sick, I take care of everyone even if I am also sick. Why is it we always seem to rate so low. I love my boys but would love some time for myself. I finally started running again and am now getting 30 minutes alone for that.

I am one awesome diva! I feel you on celebrating self movement you’re starting. Since having my son, I’ve been pushed to the bottom of the list. I say no more.
Michelle says

This is Awesome—I LOVE it! I too have been writing about self esteem and respecting ourselves. I think more women need to tell themselves this…I am a Diva! 🙂

I always tell my friends “Sometimes it is about you”! And it is….
Amanda says
This has an awesome message! As women we could celebrate ourselves more often, but we seldom do.
Michele says
Great idea!! One everyone should think of doing! We are all beautiful and unique each in our different ways–and it really does not have to cost a lot to pamper yourself a bit!!

What a great ambassadorship and message! I’ve been trying to teach my daughter the importance of this and help her with her self-confidence. I hope you have a fantastic birthday month and I can’t wait to follow along.
