I Am A Princess...

Hello!  This post is inspired by my evening of Disney movie viewing!  I am obsessed with the Disney Princesses and have been ever since I was a little girl!  I have always wanted to be a princess!  Every year when I was little I am pretty sure I bothered my Mom to be a princess and she never gave in lol... I joke and tell her it is all her fault that I am such a priss now :)  She was quite the crafty mum and made almost all of my costumes when I was younger (while the trick-or-treating lasted at least-- that is a whole other story).  I was a clown one year... hula hoop around the waist and all.  I was a "Starry-Starry Night" one year... I think she just found a fun fabric at JoAnn's and wanted to use it lol...  I was never the pretty, pretty princess that I wanted to be.  So Traci... this obsession with all things pink, sparkly and pretty is your fault... ha!  Just kidding-- I love you! 

Case in point- The tiara I found on NYE one year...

Anyway... tonight I heard a poem that made me realize exactly what I like about the Disney Princess 'model' if you will.  They hold within them all of the qualities that I strive to carry myself... I know this probably sounds so stupid-- but bear with me. 

I am a Princess.

I am brave sometimes. I am scared sometimes. Sometimes, I am brave even when I am scared.

I believe in loyalty and trust. I believe loyalty is built on trust.

I try to be kind. I try to be generous. I am kind even when others are not so generous.

I am a Princess.

I think standing up for myself is important. I think standing up for others is more important.

But standing with others is most important.

I am a Princess.

I believe compassion makes me strong. Kindness is power. And family is the tightest bond of all.

I have heard I am beautiful. I know I am strong.

I am a Princess. Long may I reign.

I loved this!  I think it is the perfect summation of how I feel, and would like to feel, about myself.  This may be something that a lot of you think is really silly of me, but I really do believe this.  It's not a bad way to look at life, is it?  I surely think not. 

It has been really hard to think of who my absolute favorite Disney Princess is... it is honestly a 3-way tie!  I can't decided between Ariel, Cinderella and Aurora!  Ugh-- so hard lol...


Who is your favorite Disney Princess?
