Dear Queens,<\/p>\n

Congratulations on another milestone! Today is the 150th post of this column. Can that really be? Time sure does fly when you are having fun. And I, for one, have been having a great deal of fun researching and writing what I hope are inspiring, empowering messages for a purposeful and passionate maturity.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for your continued support and feedback. I am proud to be part of our growing community of extraordinary Queens. To celebrate, I am offering a Queen of My Self T-shirt\/nightshirt to the first five women who request them. Details below**<\/p>\n

You know what?
                I like myself.
                I trust myself.
                I know myself.
                I know what I want.
                I know what I need.
                I know what I have.
                I know what I know.
                I mean well.
                I try hard.
                I do good.
                I help.
                I heal.
                I hear.
                I love.
                I feel.
                I fall down.
                I stand up.
                I strive.
                I survive.
                I flourish.
                I thrive.<\/p>\n

– Donna Henes<\/p>\n
