Queen of Your Own Life

Are you the “Queen of Your Own Life”?  Kathy Kinney & Cindy Ratzlaff have written a book to help you claim the crown in the kingdom that is your life: “Queen Of Your Own Life: The Grown-Up Woman’s Guide To Claiming Happiness And Getting The Life You Deserve”.

“Queen of Your Own Life is an attitude, a way of life and a call to action for grown up women everywhere.  We invite you to join us in celebrating the second half of life. You have absolutely nothing to lose and only great friendship, thrilling adventure, true love and deep satisfaction to gain when you declare yourself Queen of Your Own Life.” (quoted from www.queenofyourownlife.com)

Kathy and Cindy have created an environment of empowerment and humor on their website Queen of Your Own Life.  You can literally spend hours just going through all the fabulous “Queenisms” they share.  They may have you standing and cheering “Woman Power!”

Queenisms of Queen of your own life

No transformation into a queen would be complete without your Crowning Certificate, Crowning Card, and Coat of Arms which are free to download right from Kathy and Cindy’s site.  But my favorite part of the site has to be the Queen Affirmations.  They are a daily reminder of just how wonderful you are and can be.

Fabulous Feature: Books, Ornaments, and Lights

Each week we feature favorite items from your studio.  And sometimes it is hard to choose just one.  That is the case when it comes to Cindy Ann.  She sent me so many lovely photos of items in her studio, I couldn’t just feature one.  So I chose three.  And you’ll see why when you look at these books, ornaments, and lights.

“I love my books. They are a great source of inspiration and taking a moment to thumb through them is always a great way of jumpstarting my creativity.”

I have my inspirational ornaments hung all around my studio as little reminders to what I’m doing this all for – to dream and live a beautiful life.”

“I needed to warm up the place a bit so I picked up some chinese lantern style lights and hung them in a group from the celling. “

Now I need to get busy using some of these ideas in my office.

We all know that books are great for expanding our mind through reading, but have you ever thought of decorating your workspace with them?  There are so many creative and beautiful ways to up-cycle or re-purpose books for use in your decor. I always knew books were great for the imagination.

Have you ever used a book for more than reading?
