| 18 months and many pounds ago. |
I'm so glad Amy, my stylist for close to 10 years now was there to do this with me. She's in school to be a nurse which is totally awesome for her and her future patients, but I will weep the day she leaves hairdressing!
So, this is how it went...... George Washington anyone?
Et... voila!
I took a photo of the pony tail but it just looked totally creepy, all that hair just sitting there!
Do you love the two in one shots? We didn't even try! Gotta love the mirror! Anyhow, this is the new look straight. It will never be that straight again. For a wavy version check out my upcoming post about my craft show.
My thoughts on all this: it was totally therapeutic to cut off 18 months of hair, memories - some good and some bad, and get back to feeling like myself. Some days I felt my hair was wearing me! Two big events stand out though. During the last 18 months my grandfather was diagnosed and lost his life to lung cancer. I spent a lot of the last 18 months giving my heart and soul the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life so that one day we will find a cure for cancer. I also opened my business and was not quite aware just how much it would fulfill me. All this loss, and all I have gained - topped off by a symbolic measure of cutting off all my hair, has been just the right thing for me.
Thank you to all the friends, family, and even strangers who have supported me over the last 18 months. It's been quite a ride. I'm glad for the time and the lessons, but I am happy to close a chapter and start a new one.
Love you all!
Cheers,
this little bird
