cosmetics, plastic surgery, botox injections, nor a complete overhaul of our wardrobe or total makeovers will bring about the change we crave, unless we fight and vanquish the past--every tentacle, no matter how daunting or how tiny it is, that reaches out and strangles our hopes and our faith in ourselves...that puts us down and makes us feel small and unworthy.... Every atom that comes hurtling at us and destroys our peace of mind has to be deflected.... Only then will we be able to bring about the change in ourselves that we so long for and want to happen....
