I read it twice. I liked it because Dorfman's interactive writing takes you into the book through the characters. I learned many things while reading this book-one of which the way I look at myself. What an intriguing book-what a wonderful way of words this author has developed. Dana Dorfman’s book The Pink Forest is very unique. I read it twice.

I'm going to try to get my hands (and eyes) on it! Thanks for telling me about it. Jeanette - It's wonderful that you've forgiven him. We all say things we regret, sometimes. But, wow, I can't think of many more harmful and hurtful words for a young girl to hear!! My husband grew up without much (if any) positive feedback. He actually became a world class expert at giving himself his own positive feedback! Thanks SO MUCH for your kind words, they mean a lot. - Joi Elizabeth – sounds like a great book.

They never put me down (more on that in a second) but they also didn't know how much attention and affection I needed as a kid because when I look back on my childhood I think that my parents were cold fishes. They weren't, it's just that I had a need and didn't know how to ask for it to be met, so I grew up feeling like they never gave me any positive feedback! My dad, bless him, did call me fat when I was 12. I wasn't fat, he just didn't want to buy anymore clothes for his growing daughter. I think that was the only negative feedback I ever got...My dad said "You're fat" ONCE, but I have repeated it back to myself a million more times. Isn't it interesting how two words said once can chip away at someone. (I've since forgiven both him and myself) :) (ps. Nice blog!) It’s funny…I have very nice parents.

Have you ever heard of Dana Dorfman and her book, <a href="http://www.danadorfman.com/" rel="nofollow"> The Pink Forest?</a> The theme is a woman's courageous passage through her moments, and who visits these moments and finds, she exists. It's the way it's done that is so interesting -- plus Dorman employs two new and interesting terms: "momentology," the renaissance of awareness, and "femaleosophy, about women and their love of wisdom.
