Elevated Existence Review of Princess Bubble www.elevatedexistence.com A New Twist on “Happily Ever After” EVERY YOUNG GIRL DREAMS OF BEING A PRINCESS. SHE PUTS ON HER crown and princess gown, waves her magic wand and hopes to one day marry a handsome prince so she can live “happily ever after.” And why shouldn’t she think that? Isn’t that the status quo in most fairy tales? It was until now thanks to two women in Atlanta who decided to update these traditional tales. Enter Princess Bubble, a modern princess who travels the world, helps other people and finds happiness — all beforefinding a prince. “You must not make someone else responsible for your happiness,” is the overall lesson, co-author Susan Johnston, who wrote the book with her friend Kimberly Webb, told Elevated Existence. “We both believe true happiness comes from loving God, helping others and liking who you are.” This is the message they hope to instill in today’s young girls. “Princess Bubble” was written to reduce the over- whelming sense of failure, self-doubt and despair many young women face, said Johnston. After becoming confused by fairy tales claiming she needs to find her prince in order to be happy, Princess Bubble begins to talk to others, including married women and even her mom, who encourages her to take the modernroute and try match-making Web site, FindYourPrince.com. “Wearedefinitely not anti-prince,” Webb said. “Wejust believe young girls today arebombarded with so much inaccurateadvice onhowtobuild their self-esteem — messages that focus on the outside rather than what’swithin. Wewant to change that message.” Thanks Susan and Kim. So do we!
