July 15, 2008
If it had been on the cover of any other magazine, I would not have bought it. Last month, I didn’t buy Vogue because the cover said “Let’s Talk About Sex” in reference to the movie, Sex In The City. I don’t care or believe what media tells me about sexiness. Actually, I disagree with most of it.

This is a guest post by my sister. Sonja writes about the conflict between who we really are, who we think we are, and who we want to be. She is 45 years old now and feels it’s time to finally get it resolved.
Do we not know who we are? Surely by the time you reach the ripe old age of 40, you have figured this out. And yet, many of us continue to struggle to become something which does not suit us physically or temperamentally.
