Dear Journal Girl,
At this special time of growth and change when you're
FINALLY being allowed, and EXPECTED to think more for yourself, everyone
is TELLING you HOW to think, HOW to feel, and HOW to see yourself and the
world around you. How I Look won't do that! But, information is power, and
How I Look will give you the information and lots of room to journal so you will
have the power to decide how YOU look - at yourself, at your world, and at your
future, and you'll have some fun playing with how cute you look, too! Happy
journaling!
Love,
Molly
