I am beyond excited to welcome you to my new blog and passion project - Queen Bee Living.
The idea for this blog was conceived behind the wheel of my Volvo S60 in the Summer of 2014, while I traveled over the Mohave desert in Southern California. I’ve always had a deep love for books, reading and writing –
but in that moment,
when I was driving along the 15 freeway, with the dry desert wind blowing my hair wild,
Pearl Jam’s song “Black” blasting through the speakers,
while crying over the end of a romantic relationship,
is when the seed for what would become “queenbeeliving” was planted.
We all have stories inside of us (sometimes buried deep within), birthed out of the life experiences, tragedies and/or circumstances that have shaped us into who we are today. Those experiences can either break us down, or break us wide open. We can choose to identify solely with the pain and suffering of it all. Or we can choose to breathe faith and love into our experiences. In the process we transform and transmute it into strength and courage. Courage we could have never known existed. The choices ultimately reside inside of us.
I truly believe a beautiful mind, healthy body and radiant soul begins by cultivating what I refer to as the “queen bee” spirit within. A process that requires devotion, courage, a relentless work ethic, all mixed in with grace and some buzzworthy sass. Learning to embrace the messy, downright painful, jagged edges of who we are and where we’ve been is the only way to move through it. On the other side of the pain, we begin to cultivate true self-love and acceptance. But how does one go about doing this exactly? This is what I am most excited to share about in this space!
My goal is to share my insights, to inspire with humor while sprinkling throughout wellness tips, inner/outer beauty and some spiritual “woo woo” mojo fit for a Queen Bee. Welcome once again … time to let the journey begin.
With Love & Honey,
