- I have had Alopecia since I was 9 years old. I am very proud to be one of the many people diagnosed with this disease, I truly believe Alopecia brings out raw beauty tucked away inside the soul's of those diagnosed. I have had this disease for nine years now and I have realized that Alopecia is a blessing in disguise. It has shaped me into the woman I am today and I am so thankful that I can share my story with the world. We are more than this disease. We are Bald and Beautiful.

My memoir "Split Ends"

It was a Tuesday. I was 15 years old, and like every Tuesday, I would go to the doctor, receive my treatment, and then go home. On that particular Tuesday, however, something different occurred. I didn’t follow my normal routine. It was a strange day for me. I had that routine memorized like the back of my hand, but that Tuesday was the day it all changed.

Hello and welcome, Megan!
How are you today?

Thank you for adding me!
How lovely! I am so thrilled at the generous responses of so many women. It is as though the timing I thought had gone so wrong as to stop writing was actually just perfect. We are the Pioneers of Bald. And we have so very, very much to offer our sisters and brothers who share the path of alopecia. I cannot wait for this to be published. Our collective stories are so poignant and compelling. What a tapestry of courage and character these stories weave. Those of you who are praying folk, whatever your faith may be, please pray this book gets into the hands of the people who need it. That is my prayer for this effort of mine - to reach as many as possible with the message of hope and community and acceptance and courage we all contribute to. I'd better stop now and get back to writing or I think I might explode with excitement all over this posting! God bless us, each and every one.
Hi there Megan, your story is truly inspirational. Thank you for posting it and taking the time to write it. There are many days where I think of doing away with myself because this world is cruel, but someone recently told me, "if you can change your situation, do it, if you can't change it, change your attuide." I agree, but like you were in high school, I'm severely depressed and miss my long, beautifully curly thick hair... it's a shame that's how we all describe people; 'the lady with the red poufy hair' or whatever, now I try to find other ways of describing people. If you'd like to, I'd love to chat with you. -Sarah K.
