Elizabeth I

Who is your favorite historical figure?

I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.

I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.

A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.

All my possessions for a moment of time.

Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst.

I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of anything.

Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not already tested

I pray to God that I shall not live one hour after I have thought of using deception.

The end crowneth the work.

My Heart Runneth Over

As we head into Cancer season of the zodiac, I prepare to celebrate another year older and maybe a little bit wiser, but maybe not.

My birthday is next month, and I don’t expect any presents, but today I received one of the best gifts I’ve ever received in my life.

Our own Siri wrote a magical tale just for me. Read Love Rollercoaster here. It’s a fabulous journey, full of gorgeous art, and an engaging spinning tale. As with every story, she weaves a song into the mix. (Take a look at the title of her story and you might guess the song.)

Read her story and get lost in the beautiful images and wonderful storytelling, as I did. Read another, you won’t be disappointed. Subscribe to never miss out on the next sweeping, galactic journey and to catch up on what you’ve missed.

My heart is full and so very happy. Thank you, thank you, my friend! ♥️

Narcissus, Is That You?

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

Did WordPress let you write the prompt again? Typically, writing in the third person is not the best choice, but I know you had the mirror in one hand, and weren’t focused on anything else.

Blogging Fam, return tomorrow for a daily prompt that may or may not be written by Narcissus, but likely to be equally as ridiculous.
