Yes, let's accept ourselves, Tami, warts and all. And let's accept other people, especially women, even if we disagree with them. Let's just have a love in! LOL!

I'm actually semi-serious. Tami has hit the nail on the head. When we truly love ourselves and accept ourselves, it's more difficult to let others knock us around emotionally, physically and intellectually.
