The Divas Traveled to Martha's Vineyard


Love Le Menu Dinner with Divas traveled by land, air and the Atlantic Ocean to the beautiful Martha's Vineyard this past October. Eleven women, all from different walks of life, shared a large luxury home in Tisbury, Massachusetts also known as Vineyard Haven. Upon first glance at this house on the hill you notice the glass encased front porch and the beautiful spacious deck as you continue along the back of the home. You can’t go wrong when the tree sports a swing.

The ladies enjoyed the culinary stylings of our own personal chef. A professional NYC culinary chef prepared breakfast, light snacks, dinner and drinks the entire vacation. And while we definitely spent money on food it wasn’t the biggest spend. And that’s a good thing because the diva’s believe in eating.

Another special anecdote to remember our Dinner with Diva trips are very different in that we also travel with a licensed clinical therapist. These are not roundtable sessions. You won’t find a sofa to lay on and her with a pen and a pad eagerly waiting to write down all your precious details. Our therapist was a traditional clinician with an untraditional twist to helping us identify, examine and talk through our issues. Join us to witness it.

This group of women are very unique. We were from Chicago, IL; Fort Worth, TX; Atlanta, GA; Baton Rouge, LA; Orlando, FL; and San Jose, CA. And what made our group even more unique were the ages of the women and their careers. Our ability to coexist in a home with no altercations for 4 days was fascinating. Many of the women in our group traveled alone, hadn’t met many of the ladies present and so it was just an awesome sight to witness. This made for a very eclectic mix of ideas.

Anxiety, PTSD, and depression was noted, however by the end of our trip everyone was able to find their happy. Our team begin to network, pray, eat, drink, sightsee, and heal.  One of our members was even blessed by the generosity of another member just listening to her story. This member sent the other member home with a generous check because in her words she felt led to sew a seed.

Overall, our trip was amazing. We wanted to relax, eat delicious food and talk out our lives. We will definitely return to the Vineyard. When you travel Dinner with Divas, you'll leave renewed. Heal yourself and heal your life.

40 Friday-What you don't know about the forty year old woman.

Image
  When a woman turns 40 she's entering the no judgment, no bullshit zone. She doesn't care what anyone thinks about her, but her. She's fierce, free, fabulous, and focused. The things she put up with in the past she no longer entertains. Her goals have meaning and she's on a mission to make things happen. The 40 year old woman is reclaiming her youth and bringing a certain spice back to life. She's major competition to women half her age. What they do, she can do better. Her aroma is confidence. She exhibits self esteem that can't be bought. She stands in her true authentic self and states what she needs, wants, and desires. The 40 year old woman is a mystery. She's very unpredictable, yet adventurous. When you're with her you'll discover her wild side; an unaltered, fun, invigorating woman who experiences happiness to the fullest. Many wonder how she juggles her career, family, and dreams. They don't understand this i...

Thankful Thursday-She didn't say thank you.

Image
I've opened my heart and home to many, mentored; helped individuals start their businesses, consulted on writing books, and counseled people out of severe depression. Some were grateful for my assistance, others thought they were entitled to the help. However, I did it for me. I help others because it feels good to me. There is no greater gift than the gift of giving. When you give apart of yourself you are planted in the souls of many and your appreciation comes from God. This means you are really blessed and will be rewarded appropriately. Your harvest grows when you help others, nothing is ever done in vain. It doesn't matter if they never say thank you or appreciate anything you do. Keep your eye on the prize and do things from a stance of gratitude. Remember when you give from the heart the greatest things will come back to you. Now, sit back and give freely... Karlyn LeBlanc
