I find it very inspiring and moving. I'd like to get her here to do a workshop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-66533703972092104232008-06-21T17:25:00.000-07:002008-06-21T17:25:00.000-07:00Sally,In a way I bet they are seeing beyond us.

Or maybe the perfect one, as like you said the fake smiler if more occupied with his goal than anything personal.<BR/>Hope your weekend is good too.<BR/><BR/>Hi Stray g,<BR/>Yes, <I>What It Is</I> has influenced my last ten or so posts, both the pictures and the writing.<BR/>How are you liking the book?

Again, like with the liars, maybe they're so hollow inside they don't know how to have a genuine feeling?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-59773862369988734212008-06-20T16:52:00.000-07:002008-06-20T16:52:00.000-07:00Berto just flashed you a fake smile!

He's probably just trying to achieve some kind of goal like loanrestructuring. Have a fun weekend, Namo!Linda Davickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660351950973083893noreply@blogger.com
