As the self proclaimed “Queen of Christinaville” I was excited about stumbling across the book called “Queen of Your Own Life: The Grown-Ups Woman’s Guide to Claiming Happiness and Getting the Life You Deserve.” This small tome was written by Kathy Kinney (you may remember her as Mimi on the Drew Carey Show), and Cindy Ratlaff.

Now, I am no stranger to the world of “self-help” books, so the messages in this book are by no means revolutionary, however being a firm believer that mastery is achieved through repetition, this is a book that can be happily read knowing that these concepts will help you take charge of your life.

Sprinkled with personal stories, creative analogies, lots of motivating quotes, and a ton of laughter, this book presented this well-loved information in a fun and interesting way that kept me engaged every step of the way.

I would highly recommend getting your hands on this book to read and then pass along to one of your Ladies In Waiting (or your LIW, as the book calls these dear friends) to share the laughter. Better yet, purchase 2 copies, take your favorite lady in waiting (LIW), snag a comfy chair at your local coffee shop, kick off your shoes, and spend the afternoon giggling away on some queenly humor.

“Shared joy is double joy. Shared sorrow is half sorrow.”

– Swedish Proverb

I am an avid reader, and every Monday I will try and share a different book that I have read in the hopes that I might motivate someone to read something that they might not have read otherwise. All of my reviews will be solely based on my own opinion, and as always, I will be very happy to hear your thoughts in the comments section.

Have a FABULOUS evening!!
