INSIDE THIS ISSUE The DIVA Zone™ Magazine is blessed with yet another opportunity to share our hearts with yours in this special 2017 Holiday Issue! Our beloved publication is now offered in print (with national distribution) as well as an electronic format which will allow us to expand even further and making your reading experience more interactive; and prayerfully more readily accessible. It is also our hope that our readers are encouraged to electronically share with many others, what we believe to be a quality, well-balanced publication for our sisters. Check the website for a list of stores where The DIVA Zone will be distributed for free. We are counting on you to help us spread the good news! Inside this Holiday issue, you will be blessed by articles which will bring our focus on the things in this life that matter; things that money cannot buy. We have pieces on Joy, Peace and encouragement for anyone who may be feeling lonely and blue. You’ll be challenged to spend consciously and try your hand at some great holiday recipes. This issue is also fi lled with wonderful feature articles on two incredibly talented and accomplished musicians, Saxophonists, Lord Yancyy and Bradford Hayes; both of whom will be sharing the stage at our Holiday Party – A Jazzy Wonderland - on December 9, 2017 in Maplewood, NJ! Make sure to get your tickets and experience a wonderful elegant evening fi lled with holiday cheer! From all of us here at The DIVA Zone™ Magazine, we again thank you for your continued support, prayers and most assuredly, for believing in this vision. Although, we are but the conduit and God is the Master of this plan, the writers and editors remain in awe of the unfolding of it all. Happy Holidays!
