“When I was a young woman, I had this friend who was really beautiful, and she would talk about how she was losing her looks, that she wasn't as pretty as she once was. She was gorgeous, and I thought, I'm going to stop this bad habit of self-criticism that I think a lot of women get into. You make a choice to be different.” ThinkingDifferentBeautifulChoicesHabitLosingYoung WomenGorgeousBad HabitsReally Beautiful Author:Barbara Hamby
“Cynie Cory roams the outer reaches of the heart’s territory, from the snowy winter of family life to the tropical jungles of love. She wears her heart on her sleeve and it is as big as the country she writes about. Is she the quintessential American girl? You bet she is, part Annie Oakley, part Emily Dickinson—sharpshooting poet of wild nights. She zooms in on the detritus of love—the broken fragments, the fallen leaves—and puts together a collage that is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. Watch out—she’s driving down your street.” WritingHeartCountryBigsTogetherBeautifulNightGirlWatchesStreetsPoetBrokenWinterDrivingFallenTerritoryFragmentsJungleFamily LifeSleevesHeartbreakingEmilyTropicalAnnieCollagesSnowyQuintessentialZoomFallen LeavesWild Nights Author:Barbara Hamby
