nursingmymind:
I have been wanting to write something on this issue for a while.

In the end, you are all you have. so love yourself.

Annie’s Mailbox, 1 May 2013:
Dear Annie: I need to vent. My daughter, my 8-year-old granddaughter and I recently went to a Broadway show. After we were seated, a woman, her young daughter and her mother sat next to us.

femmesandfamily:
They see my stomach, sun burnt and brutal above short shorts, and they panic
They see my thighs rubbing together, making thunderous music, and they freeze
