Today, a beautiful, spiritual lady told me I was beautiful. It was a beautiful thing to say on a beautiful day in England. I am not sure how important it is to be beautiful. I think it is more important to be fair, kind, giving, love, funny, hard-working, passionate, determind and forward facing. These are things I strive for. I don’t strive for beauty. I endure Beauty – plucking, scraping, bleaching, starving sometimes, over eating mostly, wishing I was a bit more this and a bit less that. However, I don’t think it’s important but I am a slave to it’s master and I am flattered to have it’s title bestowed upon me today especially, unwashed, full of cold and shattered. Obviously, it’s better than being told, ‘blimey, you look like an knackered, washed out, old lady.’

But I know ‘beautiful people’ who are ugly on the inside, I know ‘ugly people’ who are beautiful on the inside and I know those who are gifted with beauty on the inside and out.

Vegimitevix wrote something beautiful today and I was moved by her words.

I love being around beautiful people but my kind of beautiful people are creative, energetic, inspiring and giving. They inject colour and passion into the world. They twinkle and sparkle with optimism and positivity. They trip, stumble, fall down, brush themselves and get up again. Those are the beautiful people that I am attracted too and that is the kind of beautiful I would love to be.

Most of the time I don’t feel mainstream beautiful. I feel old, fat, decaying, hairy and wobbly with grey bits and oak ageing. But I can be bouncy and Tigger-like and I know many beautiful, bouncy, liquorice allsorts of people who are my kind of beautiful. I think it’s why I have decided to start a business networking community called ‘Divas in Business’.

Divas in Business will be a networking community targeted at women but not necessarily exclusively for women. It is for dynamic people with energy and creativity that want to get together, share ideas and connect. Successful business is about having a network of people with a wide range of skills that can be tapped into when opportunities, or needs, arise.

I am looking for founding Divas to help me get the ball rolling. I want the foundation of the community to be founded on the notion of networking. If you are interested on jumping on the ‘Divas in Business’ party bus then write on the wall of the facebook page. All founding Divas can create their own Diva title. I have decided on mine ‘Intergalatic Prima Diva’ – just camp enough. I am a IPD of one at the moment but together I think we can sprinkle some sparkle onto the business network community. What say you?

Join us on Facebook and let me know if you would like to be a founding Diva
