She keeps her Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake, " she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

- from KILLER QUEEN by QUEEN

Guess who is the new studio boss?  She's got the random rabbits hiding in the corners.  She's big, she's bad, and you can't argue with her.

An Invitation You Can't Decline

​As the last month of the year nearly lands in my lap and demands an examination of all the months leading up to it, I realize this was the year I stopped trying to move mountains.  All the years leading up to this one, I pushed on things that were never going to move.  This year, I let go of those things and turned toward the very, very small pile of moveables, which really consists only of myself - my actions, my choices and my state of mind.  

What surprises me is how very full my hands are.  How on earth did I ever try to do any more than this?

​Ultimately, I hope to become queen of my own tiny kingdom.  And you can bet if (when!) that happens I am gonna want a big-ass crown. :)
