CONSULT THE
MIDLIFE MIDWIFE™
|
|
Since I found you, you have birthed within me new ideas, wonderful emotions (mostly happiness) and awe. I am not only in mid-life but my only child is graduating from HS and I have lost my business. I still don't know what the next chapter will be and most of the time I am afraid. You have been the calm in my storm so often and I love you for that.
- Judy, FL
Are you looking for meaning, moxie, magic & majesty in midlife?
Consult The Midlife Midwife™
The transition from Maiden and Mother to Queen and Empress can be a difficult one, fraught with hard lessons and lots of loss. It takes great determination and courage to confront and embrace the changes brought about by the midlife passage.
It can be really helpful during this confusing time to have the inspiration, advice and encouragement of a counselor/coach/mentor - someone who has been there and done that and is ready to help you do the same.
Queen Mama Donna offers upbeat, practical and ceremonial guidance for individual women and groups who want to enjoy the fruits of an enriching, influential, purposeful, passionate, and powerful maturity.

Difficult times have helped me
to understand better than before,
how infinitely rich and beautiful life is
in every way, and that so many things
that one goes worrying about are of
no importance whatsoever.

"Mama Donna Henes, urban shaman, has years of experience in shining the light of truth on hidden agendas and staying positive. She shares ways we can pay attention to and respond ethically and empathetically to what we see, from the normalization of trash talk to physical grabbing. We can live our values and lead exemplary lives, keeping hope and faith and trust alive. We can stay connected with our hearts, engage with the deepest truths about men and women in our culture...and make a difference!"

It is my hope that as more and more women rise to reign
in the fullest potential
of our supremacy,
we will harness our purpose,
passion, and power
and direct it toward
creating a more balanced
and peaceful world.
This is the legacy of Her majesty.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to The Queen's Chronicles. Please keep your comments coming. And do feel free to make suggestions about content you would like to see. Or anything else, for that matter. It is a joy to connect with you.
Letters In Response to the JANUARY 2018 Issue:
I genuinely appreciate your encouragement to use the Lunar Eclipse as motivation to set intentions for my life. I am a new "ish" mother of a 17 month old precious boy named Felix. I live in Arkansas and from one to another thank you for guiding me to really do some work this moon! Forgiveness for myself. Allowing myself to let go of any lingering trauma of the birthing process. Forgiveness for myself and others. And my intention to no longer withdraw my emotions but to engage in new ways with new understanding.
- Sasha, AR
Thank you - so perfect - so needed. Blessings of the bright, blue moon to you, too! Warmly,
Renae, IL
If our calendar was set up as 13 4-week months, we would never have a blue moon, or, it would be even rarer. A 4-week calendar is so much more sensible, no?
- Nancy, NY
Thank you, thank you, thank you, once again, for sharing your brilliant ability to gather together so many threads of knowledge and wisdom and weave them into words and music and blessings and magic.
- Gerry, VT
thanks for that beautiful ritual description and all the lovely stuff re: the upcoming Blue Moon. In the last two nights, i (and Gail too - separately each one from the other) have exclaimed, looking out of the window, and viewing the incredible sight of the moon as it grows towards its fullness. I am going to try - f it is a nice night like tonight - to get her to do the Blue Moon ritual with me - and our 7 cats! I just know cats love full moons! I just wish we were near a blue sea, but we can't have it all - we imagine instead...Your words make the imagining possible. Thank you so much.
- Charoula, OH
Thank you, Mama Donna! Here is a moon - a blue moon! It was made in 2016 after a magical encounter with a blue moon. Just thought I'd share.
Karen, NY
Lovely post about the Blue moon! Thank you!
- Francesca, PA
Moon story: in 1968, i got out of bed to go to the bathroom. The moon was outside my window. She entered me vaginally. I came with her.
Linda, NY
Please keep your letters coming. And do feel free to make suggestions about content you would like to see. Or anything else, for that matter.
Your letters will be printed in the next Queen's Chronicles.

Please send your good news, achievements, accomplishments, successes and celebrations so that our international circle of sovereign sisters can send you blessings and accolades.
And we are glad to so. It is a joy and a privilege to share in the fortune of another woman. I recently heard Oprah say the saddest thing ever - "The hardest thing about being successful is having someone to be glad for you."
It takes a centered and confident Queen to break that pattern. There are 60 million thrones out there. One for each of us. There is plenty of purpose, passion and power for us all. May we use it well!
