			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Age 8:</strong> Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty.<br />
<strong><br />
Age 15:</strong> Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/Cheerleader or if she is fretting: sees fat/pimples/UGLY. (Mom I can&#8217;t go to school looking like this!) </p>
<p><strong>Age 20:</strong> Looks at herself and sees &#8220;too fat/too thin, too/short/too tall, too straight/too curly&#8221;- but decides she&#8217;s going anyway. </p>
<p><strong>Age 30:</strong> Looks at herself and sees &#8220;too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly&#8221; but decides she doesn&#8217;t have time to fix it, so she goes anyway.<br />
<strong><br />
Age 40:</strong> Looks at herself and sees &#8220;too fat/ too thin, too short/to tall too straight/too curly&#8221;- but says: &#8220;At least I&#8217;m clean&#8221; and goes anyway.<br />
<strong><br />
Age 50:</strong> Looks at herself and sees &#8220;I am&#8221; and goes wherever she wants to. </p>
<p><strong>Age 60:</strong> Looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can&#8217;t even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world.<br />
<strong><br />
Age 70:</strong> Looks at herself and sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and enjoys life.<br />
<strong><br />
Age 80:</strong> Doesn&#8217;t bother to look. Just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world. </p>
