What does community mean to you?

Community is defined as a social unit with commonality such as norms, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense of place situated in a given geographical area or in virtual space through communication platforms. Think Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

We are social beings and need to be part of a community. In fact, many of us are actively engaged in more than one community, which is a good thing.   How many distinct communities can you claim in your social network?

As you transition through various stages in your life such as a job change, divorce, widowhood, empty nest or retirement you may find that those changes also come with changes in people and things that were once familiar and comfortable but now, not so much.  You may find yourself needing to expand your personal community rather than withdrawing inward.  Your transition phases require a community of people for you to thrive.

Make the most of 2022 by adding Relax and Recharge, A Society of Milestone Divas Summer Retreat, to your schedule of events.  Join other Milestone Divas, women aged 50 and older, for this oceanside retreat, at the beautiful Shores Resort and Spa, in Daytona Beach Shores, FL, from August 5 to 8, 2022.

Today our fantastic guest is LaVonda Williams!

In addition to being a wonderful mother of 3 children, LaVonda has served in the United States Marine Corps, she’s been a licensed child care provider offering free Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) to children for 17 years, 10 of which were as the owner/operator of L & M’s Kidde Korner LLC, Early Learning Center, and she’s the owner of Vonda’s Beaded Boutique since 2015.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, LaVonda is Ms. Senior DIVA 2021 with a goal to raise awareness about Alopecia Areata.  Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss that results in thinning or baldness.  Alopecia Areata causes the body’s immune system to attack hair follicles, leading to patches of baldness most commonly found in the scalp.  It can occur at any age but is most prevalent in teenagers and young adults.  LaVonda said, “God has given me an opportunity; he is allowing me to be the voice of those not ready to come from under the hat, scarf, wig along with the fear of being judged.”

Average thinking and actions lead to average results. They also lead to average levels of confidence. It would be nice to just have confidence without doing anything to deserve feelings of confidence, but that’s a tough trick to pull off. You can take a few simple steps to raise your standards and gain higher levels of confidence…

Episode 90 Live on Your Own Terms

Since we were children, most of us learned that it could be advantageous to make others happy.  Most children want the approval of their parents, teachers, and peers.  We tend to carry that same tendency into adulthood.  While it’s natural to seek the approval of others, sometimes it might not be for the best.

Being a strong and free person includes the ability to move freely through the world without excessive concern about the opinions of others.  Think about the people you respect the most.  Do they allow the opinions of others to dictate their decision?  You can live the same way.

If a change you are trying to make isn’t working, it may be because you are trying to change the wrong thing.  You are probably doing the things and creating desires because you think you “should” and not because you really want to.  You’re probably doing it because someone else thinks it’s what is best, or in order to please someone.  Making decisions based on what others think is giving away your power.

Living on your own terms and understanding your own desires is how you can own your power.
