I would like to hold my Coe family today

We are all holding each other.  Even from afar.

Someone teach me how to do this to my patients!

I fell for the great American Dream, female version, hook, line, and sinker.

I, as many young women do, honest to god believed that once I just “lost a few pounds”, somehow I would suddenly be a New You. I would have Ken-doll men chasing my thin legs down with bouquets of flowers on the street, I would become rich and famous and glamorous and lose my freckles and become blonde and five foot ten. I would wear cool quasi-intellectual glasses and a man’s oxford shirt in a sunny New York flat and sip coffee and say Mmmm and fold my paper neatly and He would come up behind me and look at me with an adoring gaze. I would swing sexily into my red coupe, and the wind would blow through my hair as I drove into some great big city, stepping off the elevator and striding (with a feminine but authoritative step) into my office where everyone would be impresed with my every feminine but authoritative word. Yes, indeed, as soon as I left my hometown and lost a few pounds.
