It gets so tiring seeing one more air brushed plastic beauty portrayed in the movies, television and magazines as an image to emulate. What are we teaching our young girls? As the Nana of two beautiful little girls - "on the inside" - I am always seeking ways to expand their view of the things that truly matter in life - the sharing of love, joy and happiness, none of which will be found in a mirror admiring ones self. <br /><br />Great writing Joanne. Thanks for sharing your own personal journey through breast cancer, as it relates to body image, powerful.<br /><br />Vickie Meyer-ManzVickie Meyer-Manzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733357902701623269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433356178332788141.post-42228642600762870672016-12-09T09:16:56.327-05:002016-12-09T09:16:56.327-05:00What a great essay, Joanne!
