be a queen

this is another inspiring message from the #1 NY Times bestseller "chicken soup for the woman's soul". Oprah Winfrey who continually reminds us that within every woman lies a queen, waiting to claim her glory, said the following in a commencement address to the graduates of all-female Spelman College in 1993:

Be a qeen. Dare to be different. Be a pioneer. Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge. Take it on! Be a truth seeker and rule your domain, whatever it is - your home, your office, your family - with a loving heart.

Be a queen. Be tender. Continue to give birth to new ideas and rejoice in your womanhood... My prayer is that we will stop wasting time being mundane andmediocre... We are daughters of God - here to teach the world how to love...it doesnt matter what you've been throught, where you come from, who your parents are - nor your social or economic status. None of that matters. What matters is how you choose to love, how you choose to express that love through your work, through your family, through what you have to give the world...Be a queen. Own your power and your glory!
