Being Queen: (sigh)

Andy, Kelly and their "love child" Reeb

My youngest child, my precious little baby boy turns 30 next weekend. Thirty. And he's getting married in May.

I don't have a problem getting older myself - I'll be the first one to tell anyone the best thing that ever happened to me was my 50's. But my children? I'm finding out that's a little different story.

There is a part of me that wanted them to stay my little boys forever, even though I knew they had to grow up and move away and I would have to share them with the world.

(sigh)

But, as I found out last March, the best part of letting them go to start their own families is grandchildren and I can't wait until my house is full of precious little princesses and princes.

So I guess I'll smile and be gracious about the whole thing as my last little boy blows out the candles on his cake next weekend.

All thirty of them.

Time flies when you're having fun.

Cinderella said...: That was an adorable wedding invitation picture! Totally creative and darling, and.... it's not fair that time goes so fast. 30 already... There is the bitter and the sweet with time's passage. Hugs to you about your babay boy's being on his own with his own family now. May his wife include you with a loving heart in their lives!; October 15, 2011 at 9:52 PM

I am truly blessed - by my daughter in law and my soon to be daughter in law!!

I couldn't have picked better mates for my sons if I had hand picked them myself - and they truly are like daughters to me!

Not yet old, but no longer young, after the mother and before the crone, she is now a Queen . Still active, creative and passionate, the Queen is tempered with an earned wisdom that has come with her experiences. She has faced and overcome obstacles, limitations and life lessons - now assuming her power and accepting full responsibility for her life, dreams, fulfillment and happiness. She is the Queen of herself, the mature monarch, the sole sovereign of her own destiny.
(Queen Mama Donna Henes - The Queen of MY Self)

"The world will not fall apart if we step into our grace and express our vastness. It is more likely the world will stop falling apart when we do." (Geneen Roth)

The passion was always to carry a message of love and divinity to all women, and to create a gathering space to inspire, illuminate and ignite the sovereign, sacred and divine within each of us and the world we live in.

I believe in our inherent strength and wisdom as women and my individual counseling sessions, workshops, classes and retreats are designed to be a guided pathway - supporting each other in reconnecting to what holds meaning and purpose through creative expression, education and empowerment.
