OK, I am a history buff! And I read this article today and so much comes to mind. Cleopatra, another lady from history's list of Ladies In Waiting...waiting for their moment to shine, waiting for the "one" true love, waiting for their life to finally mean something!
Do you believe the snake bite is what did her in? This article claims it was not the common story of the snake bite but rather it was a mixture of hemlock and opium that did it. And she drank it..willingly. (Hemlock? Socrates anyone?) So this poison thing, drinking it willingly, made me think of how much we do WILLINGLY to poison ourselves. And this goes for all Ladies In Waiting, as well as the Gents out there too!
