I didn't previously know this poem, but I found it very moving. It has clarified a lot of previously vague feelings about this time of year.

Sand, thanks for posting this. I am so surprised many people have found something in this piece which was, after all, extremely personal to me. Patrick Hammer, Jr.

Hi Sandra,

I want to read this book now, thanks for your review. I don't know if you've heard of them before but Narativ (www.narativ.com), offers great workshops in NYC on storytelling. I've taken several of them and their workshops have helped me improve my own writing. May be of interest to readers of this book who share a common interest in the telling of the stories themselves...

Great to see you yesterday at the #140conf and look forward to seeing what you write next!

I love the reading, writing, telling and sharing of stories! Here's one of mine.

Buy Donna’s book. She deserves the sales and the love for all the work she has done.

Bravo! I agree that all is fair in publishing but at least acknowledge the original author. Donna can benefit more if she is acknowledged and receives the royalties from her own book. This is not about her ego it is her life's work not a hobby or some "discovery" that markets her real career this is Donna's bread and butter. Let's get her book promoted on the mainstream media!!!!!

Donna Henes did it first, and she did it best. Her book will move you totally. Donna was redefining women of a certain age five years ago -- I saw her do a delightful reading of her book and the whole crone/Queen thing was the first concept she presented. It was a fresh, new idea, and it was HERS. HAIL, Queen Donna! No more pretenders to the throne. Linda G-M

I've read The Queen of Myself; in fact I've given copies of it to friends as inspirational (and inspired) birthday gifts. It seems almost impossible in this day of instant information access that the authors of the new Queen book didn't know about Donna's book. It seems to me there should have been an acknowledgment of some kind.

Dr. Susan Corso — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:45:18 -0000

Sandra! I'm so glad you wrote about this. I am a Queen myself and this whole 'imitation' issue has left me royally burned with anger. Donna is #1 as far as I'm concerned.

I have been blessed with the gift of writing poetry and now songwriting. Two of my poems have been published- I owe that to God-but this gift has and is being used to spread the love of God!

That should be, "an anti-grammarian". Ha.

Sandra Lee!

OMG! Some people get to have all the fun! Oh I wish I could have been there. I am looking forward to future events.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of your posts on the BEA and I need to catch up on your show.

You, my friend are a shining star! Brilliant!

It's not really about more numbers, it's about more relationships. Being a good facilitator of information is a good thing, especially when it comes to helping people understand and navigate the social media landscape.

It's exciting to "be the media" but it's also a little intimidating. Maybe the media became "the media" because they chose to rise up and speak - all of us could have but many of us have other things we wanted to do and it was easier to have others tell us what was going on in our world - especially if the news was out of the area.

I think the current state of our economy and the growing strength of the Internet are more closely related than we realize and once the conversion to the New Media and it's evolution is further along our economy should rebound.

Perry Marshall said, "on some levels, the Internet doesn't even know the recession exists." That is profound.

Good article. You are now aware and you can take action to do the things you know to do, right?

I struggled with this a couple of weeks ago after reading an ancient proverb: "How you do anything is how you do everything". I feel that this is applicable to anyone who wants to lead a fulfilling, enthusiastic and exciting life. I definitely want to be the one to lead such a life!

Sandy, I just returned from France where I spent a month with my daughter, Nance and her husband Joe. One of the great things they/we did/do is read aloud to each other. The two books we read this time were: The Abandoned by Paul Galico and the other was, The Eayre Affair. I am a bit out of it at the moment - very tired but will check on spelling and authors if you are interested. Joe traditionally reads, Dickens' Christmas Carol - totally by himself on Christmas Eve for anyone who wants to listen. We also watched BBC's Pride and Predjudice - all episodes - Nance claims it holds very closely to the book. So, I feel very rich/enriched by these wonderful stories and look forward to my next writing adventure. Thanks for sending this to me. Best wishes to all - Carolyn

Sage advice, that one can't do everything. I have so many topics that I want to write about, though they all relate to building a better planet.

It feels like it's coming together, yet I know that a year down the road it will be something that I don't envision at the moment, which is an exciting prospect.
