Diva Talk Radio with Kelli Claypool

A Life of Gratitude:  How to Overcome Self-Pity and Negativity

Author, Shelley Hitz, says; during a season of transition in my life, I found myself overwhelmed with negative emotions like self-pity and a complaining spirit. It was as if a dark cloud had descended over me. I prayed and asked God for wisdom on how to overcome these negative emotions. As I did, I sensed Him leading me to do a 21 day gratitude challenge.

Over the course of the 21 days, God began to change me as I spent intentional time being grateful for all I had been given. I did this through writing in my journal each day and also sending a hand-written thank you note to someone different each day. This also led me to writing out 21 prayers of gratitude and compiling 21 stories of gratitude.

I want to share what I learned with you in the pages of this book which includes:

21 Days of Gratitude Challenge 21 Prayers of Gratitude 21 Stories of Gratitude

What to Expect On Each Day:

Read my personal stories, struggles and reflections. Read one scripture and one quote about gratitude. Apply one personal application step from the challenge. Read one prayer of gratitude Read one story of gratitude

Within weeks of being told, “I don’t love you and I want a divorce,” Monique A. Honaman promised herself, “I won’t go through this agonizing event without turning it around and helping others to learn from it.”

In The High Road Has Less Traffic, Monique shares her personal journey, prepares you for the unexpected hazards, and explains the realization that taking the “high road” can be the most self-fulfilling and productive “exit strategy” to follow for the good of all involved, especially children.

In this altogether humorous, inspirational and always poignant survival guide, Monique tackles parenthood and adultery, self-image and social networking, old girlfriends and new boy “friends,” and the rediscovered joy of family and forgiveness. Take it straight from the heart. The High Road Has Less Traffic

is soul food to go!

Mark your calendars and invite all your girlfriends to join us on this show. Monique has an incredible gift of discussing a heartbreaking topic in such a way that is empowering and inspiring. You do not want to miss this show!

By seeing the life of Christ through the eyes of His mother and using the Bible as her main source of information, Author Laura Davis has weaved a heart-warming tale that takes the reader on a journey of Christ’s birth, childhood, ministry, death and resurrection.

She remarks, “So often we forget that biblical characters were normal people. They did not walk around with halos on their heads. While Jesus was divine, he was also human, as was his mother, who surrendered herself to God. By doing so, she changed the face of humanity."

A singer and songwriter for over 25 years, Laura J. Davis began writing full-time, after an emergency surgery caused the loss of her voice. She and her husband, Jim, reside in London, Ontario.

Many people believe that being healthy takes too much time, talent, or money. The thought of all that extra effort is particularly overwhelming to a person who has battled cancer or another disease.

Lisa Grey knows a thing or two about nutrition. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Lisa used nutritious foods and herbs to help her attack the disease. Her goal was to do whatever she could to destroy the cancer and keep it away.

When her tumor shrank in size just a few weeks later, doctors told her that ‘sometimes these things just can’t be explained.’ But Lisa believes that the explanation is good nutrition!

Since then, Lisa has had a passion for sharing simple, quick, and delicious ways to eat nutritiously…not only for breast cancer survivors, but for anyone overwhelmed with the prospect of healthy eating.

Whether you are a breast cancer survivor or not, it’s time to step into Pink Kitchen, where healthy cooking is delicious, affordable, and easy even if you think you have absolutely no talent for cooking. So pour a cup of your favorite beverage and join us. There’s a kitchen stool with your name on it!

Tender. Loving. Care. That’s our passion here at The TLC Kitchen. For many different life events, we are here to help you show someone you care by sending them a delicious, home-style meal prepared in our USDA approved kitchen.

The timeless tradition of bringing over a meal to someone who is experiencing a loss or an illness or to someone who has just welcomed a new member to the family still exists today. But what if you no longer live near the person or your schedule does not permit a visit? The TLC Kitchen takes away the distance so even if you can’t be there in person, it will feel like you are as they enjoy a Southern-style meal and read your heartfelt note. For the same price as a flower arrangement, your recipient will appreciate a meal they can warm up and enjoy without the hassle of planning a meal or running to the grocery store.

Join Kelli as she talks with Laura Levenhagen about this amazing service and the story behind its creation.

During this episode of DivaTalkRadio, Kelli will be talking with Trenia Parham about love, dating, and finding Mr. Right despite whether or not your physical appearance matches what "society" says you should look like.

Trenia has extensive experience in this area and speaks to women all over the world. We've taken the following from her website, and once you read it, you will feel like Trenia is your close friend.

Trenia says...

I believe love is the most important thing that exists in the world. Love for self, God and/or that which is greater than you, love for people, and of course love of a significant other. Because when a woman is truly loved and able to give love fully and completely, she has the foundation for creating and giving back to the world immeasurably. My greatest joy in life is helping women and girls have that love in their lives so that they can breathe in life, take it all in, and live the life they’ve always dreamed of.

I have been curvy pretty much all of my life, and while I’ve struggled with my weight, I never let my size dictate my adventures. Everything society has tried to dictate to me about what my life couldn’t be, I knocked down those walls and created my own path.

I used to hear, Fat Girls Don’t:

Travel to foreign countries (check)

Hike (check)

Swim (check)

Climb The Great Wall of China (check)

Date attractive men (check)

Dance (check)

Live life in the body they have right now (check)

My Passion

I help curvy women (and the skinny minnie) move past relationship trauma drama so they can finally connect with Mr. Right. I’m also the curvy woman’s lifestyle designer; that means I help women connect in with their passion so they can create that “it” factor and live the live the life they truly want.
