It is timeless. I love this line, "But as a goal in and of itself, pretty can be soulless and unenergetic." Preach! Glad to read this today. It is timeless.

I really felt what you were saying. Something told me to look at your first entry, and it just happened to be during the month of January, so I read it. We can say a lot with the word "pretty" and it's meaning for women. It is a word that is used to compliment and not being called "pretty" can have crushing impact on a young girl. As one gets older, one learns "pretty" is in the eye of the beholder, and as such can be used to manipulate, as well as compliment. Oh, the power of words! I only met you once in NYC, and I found that you're a pretty smart woman, who is pretty talented, and pretty surely a blessing to all who know you. I'd say that "pretty is as pretty does"!
