Hi Sophji,

Random thoughts here:

Tiger Woods cheated on his wife ~ the Swedish supermodel. And she wisely dumped him. Because clearly it had nothing to do with her looks. It had to do with his own demons.

When boys are insecure they look at TV where all the schlubby guys have thin model girlfriends. That’s the ratio they see day after day. “I may bat at 20%, but my GF better bat at least 80%!” Even my dear youngest son (who isn’t on media a lot) has this attitude. “Well she better be hot!” he said unconsciously once. I give him *the look*, he looks at himself in the mirror ~ and then starts laughing at himself!

And as a mother, yes, I do stare at him. He is beautiful ~ to me! As are all the people I love. I don’t know if they are conventionally beautiful (maybe not) but their souls radiate goodness and beauty.

Lastly, you will be amazed how good looking you are now when you look at pictures in twenty years. I’m all, “I was so hard on myself and I was so beautiful!!”

Best,

Inky
