We might be in the middle of a cold snap, but things are really starting to heat up for the Divas!
One community activity that's very important to the Divas is ALZHEIMER TORONTO'S "WALK FOR MEMORIES"
Did you know that 1 in 11 Canadians over the age of 65 has Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia? Scary statistics, eh?
On January 25th, 2014, TEAM DIVA is thrilled to be walking to raise funds for counseling and support for people with dementia and their families; education and awareness in the community and research to find the cause...and the cure!

From February 22-25, SIX Divas will be in sunny San Diego participating in the National Association of Senior Move Managers Conference. This is a highlight of our year and we're looking forward to reconnecting with old pals, meeting new ones, learning lots of tips, tricks and techniques, sharing experiences and having a few laughs.
At Downsizing Diva, we love what we do because we meet the most amazing people! We are fortunate to have the best job - one that gives us the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives every single day!
That got me thinking about "simple pleasures" and, when I googled it, I found a blog which describes simple pleasures as "little things that don't really cost a thing (or not much, anyway), but they are tremendously satisfying."
Things like...
- Taking a long, relaxing shower.
- Watching the sunrise
- Telling jokes till your sides ache.
- A long conversation with a good friend.
- Being lazy on a Sunday.
- An uncluttered room.
- Helping someone in need.
- Making someone smile.
- Taking an afternoon nap.
- Acting crazy in public.
- Checking something off your to-do list.
- Fresh popped popcorn.
- A snow day!
