What is a VIV Moment?

A VIV Moment is a point in your life when everything clicked and you discovered something new about yourself. You may have experienced a VIV Moment while running your first marathon, after publishing a novel, or while shopping for shoes. Perhaps you felt it after the collapse of a marriage, the passing of a parent, or other enduring hardship. Whatever the case, this split second defined you and taught you an important lesson.

These VIV Moments were submitted by real, inspiring women — just like you. Enjoy these stories, ponder your own VIV Moments, and delve into what it means to Live VIV.

Joie de VIVre: Spending time with my family — my children, Nicholas, 19, and Melanie, 17, are my pride and joy. I have been married to a wonderful husband, Doug, for 23 years and my parents are the source of who I am and what I have accomplished. Pilates and Muscle Flex classes help me to feel strong. Most of all I love God and what he has done for me.
