Fortunately, it was online so I was able to read it. What a wonderful piece! Have you read her fiction? I really like her books a lot. My favorite one is Range of Motion.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575140898505901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612138137531680575.post-37179822339406297282012-05-23T20:55:30.158-04:002012-05-23T20:55:30.158-04:00Hello Janice, it was nice to have you at Casa de R...Hello Janice, it was nice to have you at Casa de Retalhos.<br />This is a very good article. I think it's so sad that people, I think specially women, feel uncomfortable in their own skin because of what society and the midia dictates 'how' we should look.<br />By the way, you look beautiful.mollymellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235490086717490872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612138137531680575.post-45226702202952578122012-05-23T15:32:37.592-04:002012-05-23T15:32:37.592-04:00Wonderful post, Janice.

One of my favorite books is The Little Prince, and I have always loved the quote from it: "It is only with the heart that one sees rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eyes."<br /><br />By the way, I think you are abolutely beautiful.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575140898505901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612138137531680575.post-62585790520441141932012-05-23T09:39:09.144-04:002012-05-23T09:39:09.144-04:00You are so beautiful!

But I know what you mean since I have freckles and spider veins that I do not care for but they are part of me.

You'll notice I do not have any current pictures of myself either .... that is purposeful on my part. First because I am shy and don't like my picture taken. But second because I want people to think about the jewelry I make on them - not on me. Might have to re-read this and reflect a bit more. :) thanks for writing this!AntiquityTravelershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448273777508831649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612138137531680575.post-77725231230193978172012-05-21T08:54:47.393-04:002012-05-21T08:54:47.393-04:00It's horrible how society puts so much pressur...It's horrible how society puts so much pressure on how we [should] look. We should learn to love ourselves just the way we are, but it can be difficult with all that social pressure. It is especially difficult for women; they have higher standards to meet. What a shame.Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.com
