"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....

"Recognize the Signs"

Stroke Awareness Week

Happy Thursday - Tomorrow is Thursday...and I'm so happy. How about you? Did you have a crazy week this week? Even if you didn't, aren't you still glad tomorrow is Friday. You get to go home and relax or for some, hang out with your girlfriends. Some of you might even want to go out and shake a tail feather. Whatever you choose to do, just know it will be FRIDAY!!!! Okay, now that I have gotten that out of my system, back to what I have been sharing all week. Today, I would like to talk about recognizing the signs, that would let you know, that you are having a stroke:

  1. If you suddenly have blurred vision,
  2. If you suddenly have a piercing headache, unlike any other you have had before,
  3. If your your speech becomes slurred,
  4. If you have sudden tingling and numbness in your arm and leg on one side and,
  5. If you suddenly lose your balance

If you or any of your loved ones have any signs of these symptoms, you, or someone near you, must call 911 immediately. The quicker you act, the better the chance for you are your loved one. Again, this is very serious. People are having strokes more frequently, due to poor health habits. We have the power to change these habits, by taking control of our health. I pray this has been helpful to you tonight, and that you will take serious consideration, of taking your health back. Your family and friends need you. Peace & Love...
