One issue I have - your frequent assertion that you are not particularly attractive. Not so. Not at all. OK, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but also there are different kinds of attractiveness. There is the Audrey Hepburn/Linda Rhonstadt pretty and there is the Sophia Loren/Raquel Welch beautiful. I think you certainly fit better with the latter than the former, but also attractiveness is at least as much about state of mind as it is about looks. If you feel attractive, you are attractive, almost regardless of what you look like. (OK, that argues against my previous point, but you get what I mean.) You are a highly attractive woman. Believe it. As you say: own it. And please do continue to share more stories and pictures. We look forward to them...

I cannot be more grateful to everyone who has been so very complimentary. And your comments are particularly cherished. Most interesting to me is that you mention Audrey Hepburn. I long wished to be as pretty. Like Audrey or Marilyn. (As you have recognized the distinction between types already, I feel I should state that I recognize there are dramatic differences between my idols. But much to admire in each.)
I thank you for keeping me in check, and reminding me that however dissimilar from what one perceives as beautiful does not mean that one is not beautiful.
Thank you for your lovely compliments, which have revealed you are a beautiful person yourself.
