How does a woman stand out in the male dominated world? How can she stay conscious, edgy, feminine but tough, sexy but not bitchy or insecure? In this world of uncertainty, where so many women are worried about their families and/or careers, how do these "super women" find balance? Are they forced to do more for others and less for themselves? Does this lack of self awareness draw a thin line between duty and disaster? Well let a Q.U.E.en tell you how I unleashed your M.U.S.e.

Each Day for the past four years I have developed my Q.U.E.e.n (Quite Unusual Everything equals nothing). When I decided to become my own boss during the "depression", my family thought it was a whim. Studying yoga, doing art, talking peace n love, they certified me as a hippy. As I gained confidence in myself daily, the seed of a pity partied princess grew into a righteous Q.U.E.e.n. Each morning I would smile through poses, reciting a mantra in my mind."I am Beautiful, Bold, Healthy, Wealthy, Strong and Smart!" My sense of royalty didn't come from a crown but the idea that I was creating the life I deserved.

Along with my new found poise and grace came my inner M.U.S.e (Most Unique Sistah eva). As a teen I was so creative. Nothing would stop me from putting my own spin on the lastest trends. But as disappointment and regret creeped in, I traded my Divine gifts for self destruction. In bitter rages I would destroy my writings and skecthes. Then I would cry for their return. Years later when I decided to give it one more shot, I wondered if I still had what it took to stand out. I dove into my imagination and discovered my wildest dreams there. I had gotten my mojo back.

Every lady has a Q.U.E.e.n and M.U.S.e inside of them, so repeat after me:

"I am Beautiful, Bold, Healthy, Wealthy, Strong and Smart!"

Beautiful: True beauty comes from within!

Bold: Be proud of who you are and what you stand for. Smile. Laugh. Engage. Don't hide the true you!

Healthy: Health is not a perfect size or age, it is the value you put on your well being!

Wealthy: Ask. Pray. Believe. Give. Receive.

Strong: Change your thinking and start living the life you deserve!

Smart: Wisdom and creativity doesn't get old. Never stop learning. Find your inner nerd and let her out.

Lets recap. We all have a purpose and as women we seem to believe we can't have it all. We deny ourselves and little do we know it effects those we care about the most. No golden laso or invisible plane can keep us from burning out. We have the power inside to rise above the stigma of what the modern woman should be. So dig deep and find your M.U.S.e. The Q.U.E.e.n has spoken.
