Happy Passion and Loooove Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day Passionate People!

You know, this has never been one of my favorite days simply because it has become so commercialized. I say we love and eat chocolate everyday! Not just on February 14th.

But this year is a little different. Please help me celebrate this day by indulging one of my passions: writing. And I have two ways to celebrate:

First, I have been memed, (that means tagged for all you blogger-language challenged folks) by the Diva herself, Toby Bloomberg, in her Friday Fun. I am to come up with 7 Facts About Me. Now, I know dozens of facts about me, but can never think of them when asked. So, I thought for this Valentine’s Day, that would be my love treat to me and to all of you. Here goes:

1. I was painfully shy as a child and could not speak in public, now you cannot shut me up!

2. I like dogs, but I love cats. Cats are snooty and prissy, just like me! Although, I prefer penguins; but I can't keep one in my apartment.

3. I love to laugh! That is my major form of exercise.

4. The ‘D’ that’s my middle name could either stand for dynamic or deadly, depending on what day it is. Okay seriously, it’s Denyse.

5. I am not really a chocolate eater; but I looove Skittles! I eat them two by two, different colors, of course.

6. I love journals and candles. They go together like... Bert and Ernie!

7. I must take myself on a date once a week to be near a body of water. Okay, so when I’m really busy, I fill the bathtub!

And there you have it. Seven incredibly off the wall facts about the Wild Wiki Woman! Rock on!

Also, for this love day, I want to share that I am one of the featured authors in the new Power of Love e-book by Dr. Fran Harris, America’s InPowerment Coach. Dr. Fran is a WNBA Champion, Business Coach, TV Host and speaker. And she is dynamic to boot!

I am so excited about this book because if I were not a passion and prosperity coach, I would be a loooove coach! Just giving everybody love! This ebook, hot off the presses today, is a compilation of stories about love. So, give yourself the gift of love, and purchase this love nugget at only $9.97.

With just a couple clicks of the mouse, you can have the Power of Love in your hot little inbox. Now, how rockin is that?

Show me some love by showing yourself some love, get this book. Have a rockin V-Day, everyday!

Show the love with purpose!

W Magical List of Women Bloggers

I have had the amazing pleasure of being a part of the W Magical List of Women Bloggers that is circulating around the blogosphere. I will take a page from my blogging sister, Kirsten Harrell of Thinking Positive! Blog to tell the origin of this list.

"Valeria Maltoni from the Conversation Agent wrote a post about the top 20 PR Power Women. This top 20 list was extracted from Ad Age's Power 150. Valerie had a brilliant idea to add to this list and get the ball rolling to create the "W" list - a list of Women Bloggers. The "W" list idea took off in the blogosphere and has grown into a fabulous list of women bloggers."

I saw this list on a few blogs and thought this is great. Then I saw it on a few more blogs. So, I said if I see the list on one more blog, I have to do something about it. I thought I would just re-circulate the list on a blog post. I didn't know what I was in for. I read Toby Bloomberg's Diva Marketing Blog. Toby gave a great history of the list along with a challenge: The following W Magical List is by no means the end list. It would be as, Jeneane would say, the bomb, if some smart diva could create a wiki to house the list.

So yours truly took the challenge. Now, I had no idea how to even create a wiki. But I was on a mission, I had a purpose, and I was passionate! I went to Google and found Wikispaces. I included Toby's history along with the list. I posted a comment to Toby's post and it has been truly magical! This list of amazing women is as someone said like fairy dust. It was sprinkled and magic happened.

I want to thank the many wonderful and awesome women who have held this list in such a sacred way. I am so honored to be in the company of such gifted and amazing women.

I give a serious wiki love squeeze to my sisters:
Toby Bloomberg
Valeria Maltoni
Kirsten Harrell
Kammie Kobyleski

Elysa of GenPink has amazingly put the list in catogories. I have a shout out to her to see how we can consolidate the list. Will keep you posted.

Check out the list at http://wmagicallist.wikispaces.com/ and celebrate these amazing women bloggers, who keep the conversation going. We have an awesome power at our disposal: the power of our words. And women are exercising that power abundantly. I am so humbled to be among them.

If you are a woman blogger, please add your voice and your blog. This is a living list and a living legacy to all women. Keep it alive and passionate!

Blog purposefully and with passion!
