It's great for women to read this - but especially young girls in junior high, high school who are still spending a lot of time figuring out what it is to be themselves when all around them they get the message that they're not pretty enough, not thin enough, not glamorous enough, not enough, period. Not enough of anything.<br /><br />Hold your head up high, girls. Be good, feel good, and love yourself.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-15044105772447055052010-09-26T21:20:59.021-05:002010-09-26T21:20:59.021-05:00Katie sent me over & I'm so glad I came. ...Katie sent me over & I'm so glad I came.
