What a blessing it is to see yet another dream become a reality. For many years, I have dreamt of a publica- tion which would be read by the masses that celebrates women and girls of all ages while reminding them of their true value and worth. For years, there has been a subtle attack against females that has helped form a culture that equates a female’s worth and value to how she looks, what she wears or the sum of her body parts. It’s no secret, we live in an over sexualized society that objectifies women and girls and perpetuates a negative message that, unfortunately, even many girls and women themselves have begun to believe . You know how I know? Because I once believed the lie myself. That’s right, for many years I placed my confidence and value in material things, how I looked and who I hung out with. However, I have come to realize that none of those things define who I REALLY am. That’s right, many years back the Princess within was awakened and my eyes were opened to see myself in a new light. To actually see myself for who I am...The Daughter of The King. So if my Father is The King, that makes me His Princess, and it makes YOU one too. When I make reference to being a Princess, I’m not referring to a prissy, fairytale princess, lying in wait for her “Prince Charming” to come and carry her off on a white horse. But a Royal Priceless Princess, who understands WHO and WHOSE she is. One who understands that her identity doesn’t lie in whether she is chosen by a charming Prince, but instead realizes she has already been chosen by the King of Kings. She is not a step-child, but was chosen to be part of the King’s Royal family by the King Himself. He chose her as His own on purpose and for a purpose. Her adoption was arranged before she was ever born and was paid for through the King’s Priceless sacrifice. He loved her so much that He gave His life and bore a crown of thorns, so she could be adorned with a jeweled crown and reign supreme as His Priceless Princess. And with the title that was bestowed upon her before she took her first breath on earth, came all power and authority. As a Daughter of the King and a Royal Priceless Princess, she is not only bright, beautiful and brave, but she has a heavenly Father who loves and adores her and has created a plan and purpose for her life. But in order to access it all, she has to snap out of her slumber and rise up and take her rightful place. Royal & Radiant Magazine and the Priceless Princess Movement were designed to do just that. It was created to awaken the Royal Priceless Princess within women and girls of all ages. As you read the pages ahead, straighten your shoulders, adjust your invisible crown, look in the mirror and recognize the royal reflection staring back at you. It’s time to reclaim your position, access the power and live with passion and purpose as the Daughter of The King. Yours Truly, Princess Nicole Royal & Radiant Magazine | 5
