Diva Mama

By Shira Adler

Diva Mama is more than a nickname on my license plate, it's a representative moniker of the two symbiotic yet disparate aspects of my life. Diva is to Mama as yin is to yang. Imagine, if you will, a cosmic kitchen where a little sign announces that the child-advocate-vegetarian-eco-Kosher-Goddess-mompreneur is trading in her apron for the day in order to explore the world's stage or at the very least, treat herself to a mani-pedi. I will tell you a secret. What keeps me going through my multi-tasking mompreneur mayhem as a self-employed writer/speaker, singer, cantor/interfaith minister, certified past life regressionist raising two "special needs" kids (including an Indigo child), is writing blogs while sneaking something from my secret stash of Lindt chocolate. Sound familiar? If you˙re like me, you are probably not doing enough to restore your chi, replenish your energy and nurture your inner diva (we all have one, you know, and who decided Diva is a bad four letter word anyway?). As working mothers have very unique ways of seeing the world, sharing our vision and making the world a sparklier place as only Divas can do! My blog then, is meant to support, activate, and inspire. Serving as a guide to staying connected, in touch and in flow, I take a fresh look at balancing life, love and laughter with everything else Divas must do to help YOU nurture and inspire your inner Diva.

Who doesn’t love the Oscars?  If you’re like me, you probably spent some time reading tweets & facebook postings before, during and after last Sunday’s Oscar telecast.   My favorite tweet from the post Oscar frenzy:& ... Read more...
  The whackiest Valentine’s Day I’ve ever had was when I was still technically married to husband number four.  I was in the midst of a divorce process, but was falling in love with a close friend.  Everything aligned for us on that ... Read more...
Given that Valentines’ Day is coming, saying the words “blow it” in any sentence suggests many different things. What I mean to say is that I’m exhausted. I had four hours sleep last night in part because I had a domestic blow-out with my honey, the likes ... Read more...
  What would you do if your doctor told you that if you had sex you could die?  No, he didn’t say this because he was a sadist with a sex fetish, but because sex or coming close to orgasm, would probably kill you.  He wasn’t kidding. ... Read more...
  With all the things that we have to do in our daily lives, much of the time the things we want to do fall by the wayside.  It’s no surprise that our sexuality and sensuality make up the tail end of that old grey mare ... Read more...
  Tonight as I sat on the couch with my honey and watched barely-pubescent-wanna-bees in the premier episode of  American Idol’s 11th season, I couldn’t help but reflect back on the alacrity I possessed in the early stages of my own perfo ... Read more...
Sex! It’s fun, maddening, inspiring, revolting, clean, dirty, uplifting, depressing.  It livens our soul and tortures us when we let it.  It’s something we’re good at but something we can never truly master.  It feeds our egos and our libid ... Read more...
