Daring Divas

By PJ Karr Ph.D.

To be? To become? These heartfelt and authentic questions lead us to pursue the rare, less traveled pathways and optimistic ventures. In Daring Divas, author Dr. PJ Karr offers a commanding and creative book to inspire and celebrate women in their life journey.

The lofty, mystical, and enterprising character of daring divas appears with themes, stories, and epiphanies. Karr offers inspiration to help recharge your soul-filled life and to redeem and enrich your life force, spirit of becoming, and unconditional regard for the potential of choice and change in our fast-paced society. Daring Divas teaches you how to coax feminine vulnerability into formidable strength.

Selective stories reveal the bond of sisterhood and brotherhood, our perfect imperfections as women, and epiphanies of grace, gratitude, and abundance. Space after each chapter allows you to journal about your reflections, inspirations, and free spirit. Daring Divas presents a celebration of women as daring divas and serves as an inspirational reminder to become a kindred spirit with all of your connections and the present moment of now.

Acknowledgments

There is a limitless challenge for humanity. There is a mystique to our life’s journey. Hopefully, most of us want to appreciate, come to terms, and accept the essence—the soul and substance—of that magical spell cast upon our quests and adventures.

There is a unique phenomenon that happens with our passages along this memorable walkabout. Significant, unexpected, and even mind-blowing individuals seem destined to cross our paths. Yet, we rarely know when, where, or why.

For myself, these unforgettable earthlings included strangers or new acquaintances. Across the decades, they extended to endearing friends and significant family members. Amazingly, these no coincidence or chance meetings with my abundant, gift-giving human beings arrived on the same day or week.

In my heart, I cherished that feisty individuals contributed to the evolution of my books. Without exception, their enhancements were a sneak preview of my lifetime lesson. I was inspired, thrilled, and honored to be reminded. All of us are connected…

First and foremost, this book is dedicated to Patti Jo.
