nourishing stew of regal
empowerment from a rich assortment of ingredients
including rituals, blessings,

beauty, and joy."

"The Queen of My Self is a great read. Although
it will appeal to women of
all ages, it should be mandatory for those facing
what could otherwise be a

inspired, and filled with
light-hearted, humorous wisdom as she exhorts us
to live life to the fullest, and in
doing so enhance and empower our elder years."
--Nicki Scully Author of Alchemical Healing and
Power Animal Meditations

the ancient wisdom of all
earth cultures: that older women are strong,
wise, and free. For decades, Donna
has guided us through the seasons of our lives.
Now she gives us the divine
paradox: that it is only by treasuring and
knowing ourselves can we best serve
our precious planet. This is an essential
treasure for all midlife women -- and
those who love them."
--Hallie Austen Iglehart Author of Womanspirit
and The Heart of the Goddess

wisdom that will truly allow you to own your
inner royalty and change your life."

Girl's Best Friend and
