UBC Day 6 - Queen of Your Own Life

I’ve been subscribing to Queen of your own Life’s Facebook Page for some time now. I love the beautiful Queen posters that Kathy and Cindy create daily with the gorgeous vintage photos and positive messages.

These lovely posters help me get in the right mindset to face the day. I enjoy sharing them on Facebook and know they resonate with women everywhere.

Thank you, Kathy and Cindy for reminding us that we are all queens who deserve a life of happiness and fulfillment.

Here is a link to their Facebook page and their website.

Here are a few thoughts I have of what it means to be a Queen of your own life:
  • Although we may not be able to control everything that happens to us, we can control our attitude.
  • We deserve love and respect from others, but especially from ourselves.
  • We are stronger and more resilient that we realize.
  • We have a purpose and have many strengths and talents to share with the world.
  • We should enjoy life and see it as a grand adventure instead of an endurance test.  
In Weight Watchers, they suggest having an anchor, an actual physical object to hold to remind us of our weight loss goals.

Recently I found this crown at Michael’s Craft Store and thought it was perfect to be my Queen anchor.


When I hold it in my hand, it reminds me that I’m a Queen of my own life.

Let’s go, Queens! The world is waiting for us to make our mark and make a difference. Make it a good one!

    I agree with you -- it is odd how it takes us so many years to get to that realization.

    I have seen this page on and off and love the pearls of wisdom it shares. I so agree with this one.. "Although we may not be able to control everything that happens to us, we can control our attitude." Love that crown :)

    Well, you just made me cry a little bit and I'm so profoundly honored that you talked about my page, Queen of Your Own Life. Along with my co-author, Kathy Kinney, we love what we do and it's so gratifying to know our message is being received exactly as we intended. You are a rock star, Queen Cathy.

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
