"Welcome Beautiful Ones"



DGWOS is not a page where we bash, hate, use foul language, or tear down one's character through jealousy and envy. It is a page designed to inspire, to celebrate, to encourage and to promote self-love. This page wants to catapult you into a stronger and better you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Throughout the month, seasoned "Women of Substance" will share their experiences and thoughts to remind you that you are the diamond that God has intended for you to be. Please note: we are not psychiatrists or psychologists, nor do we profess to be perfect; but what we are, are women, mothers and grandmothers, who have been through the trials and errors of life and now want to help guide you through the same, if you choose to accept our views as you travel on this same wonderful journey called life. As a follower we only have two requests: 1) you share this blog with others and 2) strive every day to be the best you, you can be.
Ladies, let this blog be the reflection of what true, exquisite diamonds look like.

Peace and Love....

"I'm Still Sharp"

Happy Wednesday - This morning when speaking to my son, he said something to me, that I've heard before, but just kind of brushed it off. But for some reason this morning, it struck a chord. He said, "just because you're not the sharpest tool in the toolbox mom, doesn't mean, you're still not sharp." And I share that with you this morning, especially women 40 and over, because sometimes, the older we get, we feel like we're not as "sharp" as we used to be, or that we don't have that much to contribute anymore on certain issues. But after that comment this morning, I said to myself, "oh yes we do sisters." What we have now, is what the young women coming up behind us is seeking for, and need. We have wisdom, class, resilience, and survivor skills; all the qualities that a toolbox need, in order to build something and/or someone. So ladies, embrace yourself today and say, "I may not have it like how I used to, but I still got something." Heyyy!!!
