I Want To Be Older. I Actually

I Was Doing A Children's Book On Self-esteem, And I Really Felt Like I Wanted To Shed The Shame I'd Been Feeling - And Maybe Make It Easier For Women My Age Who Had Probably Felt Bad About Themselves.

I'm A Performer. I've Just Been One Since I Was A Little Girl. I Used To Pretend All The Time.

Without My Women Friends, I Wouldn't Know Anything. They've Been My Teachers And My Mothers. My Mother Was A Wonderful Person, But She Didn't Give Me A Lot Of The Stuff I Needed To Advance Myself As An Adult Woman. I Have A Really Strong Group Of Girlfriends, And We Share A Lot With One Another - The Complications Of Raising Children, Marriages, Personal And Physical Struggles.

I Want To Be Older. I Actually Think There's An Incredible Amount Of Self-knowledge That Comes With Getting Older. I Feel Way Better Now Than I Did When I Was 20. I'm Stronger, I'm Smarter In Every Way, I'm So Much Less Crazy Than I Was Then.

Pick Clothes That You Really Love. And Wear Them. And Don't Make Anything "special." If It's Being Held For Something "special," Wear It To The Market. Wear It Every Day!
