I can de-bone a chicken … (butcher)
I can bake a mean chocolate bread pudding … (baker)
Haven’t tried candle making…yet….but…
I’ve been a successful sales rep for several Fortune 500 companies. I’ve quit jobs where I excelled and have been fired from a job I sucked at. I’ve started three successful small businesses. I’ve been declared disabled. I have recovered. I’ve learned to paint and create art to sell. I’ve started a non-profit foundation that has helped over 1,000 women. I have beaten cancer. I have been married to the same man for 41 years. Quite a resume!
I have learned that it’s okay to succeed and it’s okay to fail. Regardless, the world keeps turning and tides keep lapping the beaches.

Know what? It IS quite a resume. As a Queenager, I have learned that it’s okay to succeed and it’s okay to fail. Regardless, the world keeps turning and tides keep lapping the beaches.
When I started each of the above jobs on my resume, I did not have a clue as to what to do. I read. I talked to others. I observed those I wanted to emulate and I put it all together and then….I just did it!
Some gigs lasted longer than others. Some I must admit weren’t such hot ideas. The point here is that I stretched myself outside my “box of life.” Was I scared? Yes! Before cancer a lot of things scared me; now, not so much.
Can I get an ‘AMEN’? Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, if it doesn’t feel right, kick yourself out of the box. Stretch yourself like you have never stretched before. Reach for the stars! Marvel at all of the miracles around you both big and small. As the good witch told Dorothy….”you had the power all along.”
