When I have a down-whoa-is-me, I need a man in my life moment, I always remind myself of the tee shirt I saw on Think Geek that simple read: “Self Rescuing Princess”.

Over the weekend, my traveling partner in crime, Amy, sent me the below with the message “I love this and thought you’d get it.”

I replied back and told her this was perfect and going into my nieces’ keepsake boxes. Both have words of wisdom and music they’ll get when they turn 18. They need to know the knowledge that I’ve learned. They need to be women who make a difference. Not women who are indifferent. They will be self rescuing princesses.

This weekend, I was reminded that I AM A SELF RESCUING PRINCESS. NO PRINCE CHARMING NEEDED.
