Versailles: The Life and Times of Queen Khira

  QueenKhira.com has always been a place for you to come for self-discovery.  It's meant to encourage you, push your boundaries, and provide much-needed respite from the programming reality offers.  I wanted to infuse this idea into your everyday lives, to make it organically apart of your daily design.  With that, Our Sitewide theme was born, I'm Doing THIS, for ME...  I still try not to be amazed at the perfection of a synchronistic moment, it's truly a remarkable feeling.  To discover your desired state of being, and to be able to return to it, whenever you desire, is REAL magic.  Ladies and Gentleman, it's time to embrace it as the new norm.  It's time to relax into the natural ebb and flow of life, relinquishing to control we never truly had...and why the Hell not?!  What's the alternative, badgering myself into an anxiety-filled submission, heavy with self-pity and disappointment?!  Yea, No.   In all things, there is Cosm...

For as long as I can remember, the one thing that has driven me was the possibility of getting dressed up.  If it was a special occasion the next day, I would be in bed the night before, too excited to sleep, thinking about the out I would be wearing the following day.  The women in my life each played a significant role in molding my ideas about what the well-dressed female REALLY is, and the importance of wielding this power.  Te right outfit can mesmerize an entire room, and has the potential to effect the outcome of certain situations.  It was the summer before I turned 13, and my aunt Dinneen gave me a lesson that STILL resides with me, and is apparent and active in my children...the Art of Style... I had always been involved in the process of picking my own clothes to a certain extent, but I had NEVER gone school shopping without my Grandmother.  It had ALWAYS been our thing, and I looked forward to it.  This particular year, however, when I ...

AKA: Heaven.  Oh how my dreams are filled with such a Utopia!  Ah, the pure pleasure to be gained by being able to peruse social media without the slightest intimation of stupidity... You know, the older I get, the less tolerant I am to fuckery.  I don't like  being told what is DOPE ; that decision is entirely up to ME.  How are you possibly able to make that determination on my behalf?  Moreover, your vision has been obscured, by either the money to be made, or the attention to be gained.  Countless individuals have thrown both quality and overall dopeness straight out the window, and have packaged and branded their own fresh serving of filth.  well I refuse to participate in the sheeplike consumption of the masses... Give me something to be EXCITED about!!  Put something out that touches my SOUL.  what happened to the Beautiful and Profound?  Is art now DEAD?  It has been quite a while since i have been tr...

When I sit and think about all the times in a day when my answer to a request is "yes"; then cross-reference that with how many times I am saying that to myself , the statistics are drastically one sided...why is this?  For me to be the ultimate expert on all things Queen Khira, you would think that I would no doubt know exactly what she NEEDS ; so why are you denying yourself the power of " YES "?!  My answer in short, I thought that by fulfilling the needs of those around me, it would ensure my peace of mind, and their happiness would vicariously be my own.  This was a thought process that served me well; until it didn't...I slowly but surely became resentful, and started to feel like a servant, and nothing more.  I needed to figure out quick fast and in a hurry what the problem was, and FIX it IMMEDIATELY .   It is never a good thing, regardless of how must you love someone, to give everything you have and reserve nothing for yourself....

Necessity is defined as something vital to existence; and/or completion of a task.  So I beg the question: Are you doing what is NECESSARY for your own personal happiness?  I’ll take it one step further and inquire, “if so, are you implementing them every day, just as effortlessly as breathing?”  I’ll go ahead and assume the answer on your behalf... That would be a resounding NO!!  I can say this because I wasn’t either.  All I knew was that I was becoming increasingly irritated by people and things in my immediate environment.  Nothing had occurred to cause the sudden shift, and I had no “true” source for my discontent.  Arriving at an impasse, I took to meditation to have a”peak” inside myself, per se.  What I found was that I was not focusing on ANY of the little things that brought me JOY.  As a matter of fact, EVERYTHING that I normally did just to appreciate ME had fallen to the wayside.  This is why my higher self had BEE...

Are you familiar with the expression, “like the blind leading the blind”?  If not, it’s specifically referring to the phenomenon that occurs in which the person who is supposed to lead and be familiar with whatever the situation may be is just as oblivious as the individual seeking guidance.  Generally, the person who sought them out is so relieved to have someone else lead, they blindly follow.  Moreover, they ACCEPT the task and begin the false advisement process...WTF?!   This fuckery stops now.  I find it particularly corney that a person would rather follow behind anyone or anything based off the opinions of the so called “court of popular opinion”.  Look at that last statement and truly dissect it: Court -a place to be tried, convicted, and judged.   Popular -what is actively consumed by the masses and subject to change at a moments notice.   Opinion- an individual’s personal perspective of a particular situation and/or scenario; no...

Life has been something special lately!  After a year filled with the moon showing out like it hasn't for centuries, it's amazing that any goddesses are left standing!👏  It's literally felt like all the craziness of the outside world decided to pay me a visit over the past several weeks and wreak havoc on every peaceful crevice I used to rely on for refuge.   What do we do on those days when it feels like the universe has turned its back on us? During what appeared to be a full on Tempest of BS, I needed a quiet.  I desperately needed to retreat to my Mind Palace and analyze this sh💥t storm piece by piece.  I started to pay attention to everything that was going on around me, particularly what was happening to the people in my everyday life.  EVERYONE was going THROUGH IT. When I took that much needed step back, I was able to discern what I was doing.  Instead of me focusing on the here and now, I was obsessing over hypothetic...

When it comes to love and relationships, I find the most frequently asked question is, “how do you make it LAST?!”  I always find this to be a particularly strange question, ESPECIALLY if you and your partner have been together for a significant amount of time.  You SHOULD know that person better than anyone else, and hold all the keys for success in that particular relationship.  Asking someone else how to keep your stuff together is like asking someone else to explain what you are feeling: ridiculous and damn near impossible. First and Foremost, I DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT give relationship advice, nor do I insert myself into anybody’s personal situation, even when asked.  The reason being, whatever decisions you are arriving at concerning your mate are COMPLETELY yours to make, and whatever you decide will be YOUR life choice.  I want to be completely free from any repercussion that could potentially occur; you will NOT be blaming me for your poor decision mak...

Live and Let Live.  It’s such a basic and simple concept, and living thus has boundless potential.  It’s just sooo unfortunate that our Egos flat out refuse to accept it. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why we as humans feel we have the right to add context and commentary to things that do not effect us in any way.  The way I feel about myself and the things I choose to do is MY BUSINESS.  Your thoughts and opinions of me and how I choose to live my life is soooo totally irrelevant to me that I pity you for the waste of energy. While in the process of getting your ENTIRE life, you DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT have time to be concerned with what others think of your eternal light and how you choose to express it.  On that same note, you have relinquished this right when it comes to others.   Yo, mind your business, and worry about your BI.   If there is something that you feel you simply MUST express to another individual about the way they move, t...

With an entire world to explore with ENDLESS possibilities, it’s about time we started to explore them, and each opportunity open to us.  Our minds are boundless, chomping at the bit to be taken places we never could have imagined... So how to we let go of reservations and take flight?! It all starts with knowing who you ARE and EXACTLY what it is you WANT.  Meditate on this concept, and continue to do so until you find the answer.  Once that concept is CRYSTAL clear, you can start pursuing those ideals.   Until these things are realized, take it one day at a time, one task at a time.  Eat what makes you feel good.  Wear the clothes that make you feel like a Star.  Take a few moments each night to envision the day you want to have and put those things into action; Start each day the way YOU want to. Intention prompts Action.  We constantly disappoint ourselves by simply not completing tasks we had our heart set on doing. ...

When we were kids, friendship was so simple.  If I gave you a bracelet, then it was ON; we were practically siblings from that point foward!!  If only it was still so cut and dry... Oh Wait, IT IS!!! Since starting my journey, I have noticed myself becoming agitated with friends and acquaintances I previously didn’t feel this  way about.  The source of my aggravation came from a place that was feeling like I was a much better friend and source of support to others than they are to me.  I was angry because I still have that childlike view of friendship, that I get what I GIVE.  Because I wasn’t feeling that reciprocation, I became imbittered, and started putting stipulations and regulations on myself and the level of friendship I would give out. This of course is TOTALLY INSANE.   What I decided to do after much back and forth with my higher self was to redefime the friendships/relationships in my life.  Just because you and I are friendly and acq...

Sometimes I'm so good, I impress myself!!  This is actually something I wrote for Nouveau, my makeup blog, but after writing it, I realized the readers of Versailles could definitely benefit and appreciate this as well;-) Makeup is one of those things in life that is meant to improve our perception of reality.  Makeup in and of itself does nothing to enrich the individual on a spiritual level, however, because of the effect it has on what we perceive as REAL, and has the capability to improve what you see and how you are seen each day when you open your eyes, it holds unspeakable power.  I'm using this to my advantage, because, no person is complete if there are things inside that make us feel less than desirable.  This post won't contain any beauty hacks or products to try, it's going to offer TRUE PERSPECTIVE, it's makeup for the inside... Let's Begin... What have you done today to make you smile?  Take the time to hand craft your day.  Wha...

For My Aunt Dianne I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE... With that being said, lets get down to business!!  "No man is an island"; well certainly NOT.  In addition to needing human interaction, we also have things we simply NEED just to be comfortable in our own skin.  STOP acting like this does not apply to YOU!!! I want you to stop for a second and think of the last thing you did for yourself just for the pure pleasure of it?!  I'll Wait...While evolving, understand that you are more human than ever before.  Your desires will not disappear, but evolve WITH you, becoming more pure, and more focused on the things you truly desire.  Your biggest mistake would be to DENY yourself what it is you really want in this life.  It may seem of little consequence that you drank a Sierra Mist as opposed to the 7UP you were craving, but we are now aware that the Micro is a direct mirror of what is happening on the Macro level in life, and is desperate to get your ...

Yo, MY PEACE is worth fighting for.  with that being said, we are at WAR.  There will be enemies, there will be allies, and most importantly, there will be CASUALTIES.   Your enemies will be those who have absolutely no interest in a peaceful existence, and could give 2 shits about preserving yours.  Your allies will be the like minded individuals who are currently on their own personal journey, constantly striving to be their best versions.   Now your casualties, hehehe, is where it starts to get complicated, and your feelings start to become involved.  Your casualties will be the individuals that you actually thought had potential.  They will usually be the ones we fought the hardest against our own better judgement to save.  These fatalities will be painful to our psyche, because, sometimes we have to let go of someone that MATTERS.  The most painful part is coming to that realization.  ...

At this point in my life, people should cease to amaze me.  People are fairly simple creatures who stick to the basically the same habits and routine, whether it's relationships or food.  If I was to stick to this philosophy, I think I would be alot better off.  Its when I put too much hope and HUMANITY in them that I am disappointed. I am declaring here and now that I am over and done with assumptions.  Giving people too much credit for common sense.  Its a personal setup when you hold people to the expectation YOU set in place for them.  We expect them to meet this certain set of criteria we have set in our minds, and then are SOOOO upset when they don't live up to them.                                                  The fact that we feel like people are to behave according to whatever preconceived notion we formulat...

"So when is the evolution over, like, when am I done with the process?  Am I finished, or am I done?!"  Well, the question was asked AND answered.  If that is a question that has been plaguing you, its OBVIOUS you are still undergoing transformation... When have you ever achieved a goal unbeknownst to you?  Its almost impossible to arrive at a destination and be completely unaware.  With this being said, when you have completed your journey, then YOU WILL KNOW.  Its not a secret.  In the meantime, your job is to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. You mean DO NOTHING?! Absolutely.  Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is being present and completely content with who you are in that particular moment in time.  Observe where you are right now and evaluate your journey this far.  Appreciate your growth and current situation, no matter what it may be because it is, in some way, apart of what's happening to you.  C...

Golden people  von  Irmgard Schoendorf Welch AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!  I just needed to get that out right quick before I begin.  Sometimes once we begin to walk on the evolutionary path, we forget that we are still PEOPLE.  Life will still happen to each of us, no matter how enlightened.  Losing site of our humanity, even temporarily, only makes the process that much harder. You will still require THINGS.  Unless your path leads you to a convent or monastery(which TOTALLY defeats the purpose!), engaging in the world is the one thing that will keep you grounded.  I still LOVE to shop.  However,  I have noticed I gravitate towards things that make me genuinely happy.  Example, I NEED to see my eyelashes in my shadow(Yes, its a thing!), it makes me smile;-)  so I make sure they are ALWAYS poppin.  I probably wouldn't have had time to even discover that wonderful idiosyncrasy had I not been taking the time to access my...

Like a Moth to the Flame...people, YOUR ENERGY IS A BEACON.  In a world filled with darkness and pain, your light is the only thing leading the way.  This thought is so powerful, that sometimes, we get lost in the idea of being the beacon, we forget that we are also travelers on that dark road as well, and our flame is NOT everlasting. So what does that MEAN?  I'm glad you asked.  The thought behind this idea is, not to turn your flame down, however, but to make sure it is being protected and replenished so it may continue to shine.  So often, we get caught up in moments and things that happen to others, that it literally consumes us.  It becomes so real for us emotionally, its as if the event actually happened to US.   THIS IS A SERIOUS NO NO!!! The only way for your Energy to help and to heal is for it to stay focused on LOVE and continue to GLOW.  This cannot happen if you are lost in the emotion of a situation.  Understan...

If only it were that easy...Oh wait, it is, through Meditation!  It’s no small coincidence that the word Medicine has the same prefix!  People, we have been told countless times of the overall benefits of Meditation, yet we hesitate in intergrating the practice into everyday life.  WHY??!! Answer:  It’s something about TRUE spirituality and connectedness that scares us all. Fear is a naturally imbedded defense mechanism meant to trigger response to a dangerous situation.  This, unfortunately is public knowledge, and has been weaponized to impede the individual’s inate desire  to reach beyond what is seen and search within for the answers we seek. I will use myself and an experience I had when I first started with my meditation practices. I was sitting completely relaxed, feeling the air around me; I thought, “I wonder what it would be like if my body was practically weightless like the air around me..”. Just as quickly as the thought was forme...

This whole free will and right to choose thing is getting wayyy out of hand.  Like anything else, “With great power comes great responsibility” which may be most relevant in this particular situation.  We have to be careful with what we are running around spilling into the air. While we are all out here attempting to live our best lives and be the best version of ourselves, it is vital to ensure you are NOT putting people in a position to where we are taking away their natural birthright of self-decision.   Listen, if it’s anything that irks me beyond measure is when I am “forced” to feel some type of way. We are all guilty of transference, whether intentional or not.  Unfamiliar with this concept??  Well let me set the stage for you😉. Imagine your significant other comes into the room where u have been sitting for the past few minutes in a full on funk.  You don’t even know why your upset yet, it’s that fresh.  When they enter, he/she is extactic ove...
