Q&A With Shannon Ms DIVA Holliday

What motivates You?
"Oh my God this is the same question I ask visitors who visit my blog Divaology. Where should I start? First of all God is my motivation as he says "faith without works is dead" Therefore, the only way my aspirations will be achieved and my dreams fulfilled is if I apply my FAITH while believing that I CAN and Will achieve my goals (my dreams and aspirations) to my works by continuing to pursue them. The action of my belief combined by faith is the stimulant that moves God to honor my effort and make my dreams and aspirations possible thus fulfilling them because He would that I prosper even as my soul prosper!"
