327) I'm not a cowboy now--don't pretend to be, but I am most at ease in that raw country and feel most comfortable in my own skin when I'm surrounded by that rough enviornment. It's where I go when I get confused. It's enough just to be for a while in a place where all I can hear is the wind blowing, and all I can see is a long way off in the distance on the earth around me in the daytime and a long way off in distance in the night sky above me. It is there and then I know I am not lost."-Robert Fulghum, Maybe, Maybe Not

Beth wasn't exactly the supermodel type: She had braces and a prominent nose, a flat chest and big thighs. It took me an entire summer of watching Beth closely to figure out why all the guys liked her so much: She had incredible self-confidence. She didn't seem the least bit insecure about her decidedly average looks. In fact, she seemed proud. Because she was so comfortable with herself, others felt comfortable around her...So instead of beating yourself up because your hips and thighs are full, try not to focus too much on the way you look. If Beth Graham...could do it, so can you."-Debra Kent
