Everything was
Accepting yourself, faults and all!

Can you see the real me? |
Acceptance
It’s the hardest thing a woman can do
To accept herself as she is, faults and all
And rise above Western civilizations’ criticism
Our society has created a model
That few can touch—
Ultra thin, flawless, plus giant breasts
Based on the “Barbie” doll figure
Women come in all shapes and sizes
Each perfect in their own way
Women must find their own exquisiteness
And embrace and love themselves
Their unique and wonderful selves!
From the book, A Redhead Looks at 60,
