At the age of seven I created my own "magazine" that was handed out to (or forced upon, whatever) my friends and family. The entire magazine master copy was written on lined paper and look hideous when photocopied! Sadly any copies of my first entry into the world of zines have been consigned to the dustbin of history. <br /><br />If you have any copies of your mail art, I'd love to see them :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684400154894645235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288000153753902960.post-78929843819852970272013-07-09T11:43:49.279+01:002013-07-09T11:43:49.279+01:00Oh my word, what a blast from the past!

It was great mindless reading on the elliptical, but I soon realized it was destroying my confidence, particularly about my body. Now I have a subscription to Psychology Today, and I love the varied bits of information. I get to learn many tidbits from my psychotherapy clients too.
