Profile Information:

Relationship Status:: Single
About Me:: I've had Alopecia Areata since I was 11. I wore wigs for 19 long years but 9 years ago I turned 30 and had my "coming out party" as The Bald Chick!

I am (as of the last 2 weeks) a New York Times Best Selling Author. My 1st book I Love You More has sold over 200,000 copies.

I have a company called I Shine, Inc thats mission is to generate the conversation of love around the world through books, music, speaking, TV, film and the web.

I have a school program called Self-Esteem through Love: Empowering our Children to Shine! The first lesson I share about is "Just Be Yourself" and how I finally learned to embrace that simple though not always easy lesson after many years. You can find out more about my book and school program at
www.HippieandTheBaldChick.com

I am also co-founder of CoCreating Our Reality a global web community using Universal Laws and Principals to cocreate the world of our dreams!
www.CoCreatingOurReality.com (it is on this same social network site)

I believe with every part of me that our biggest challenges become our biggest blessings...Alopecia Areata has certainly been (one of) mine!!!

Have a bright and blessed lifetime!

Keep Shining!

HI Laura,
I will definitely check out the school program web site you have. It is so great to be a member of this website. I have had alopecia since the age of 2. It was really tough growing up and dealing with what I had to. I know have a great marriage with a supporting husband. I am so lucky. When I went to my first NAAF convention it changed my life for the better. It is so nice now to have others to talk to you when I am feeling down and to share happy time with. Can't wait for spring to come!!!

Laura, your nail biting history was interesting as I have always been a nail biter and only in the last year or so have finally stopped. So I guess stress was a big part of my life although I have no idea what the initial stress was that had me start nail biting. I was 38 when I developed au, and although I know there is debate over whether stress can actually trigger alopecia, I firmly believe it was the trigger to my au. I choose to wear a wig as I prefer to fit in, but I am full of admiration for those like yourself who don't cover up. More power to you!

Hi Laura,
Wow that is FAB about your book! What is the topic? I have a new book out -- my 2nd book -- called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" You can find out more by going to my page. It sounds like you have the same spiritual beliefs that I do...
