I will make those calls tomorrow morning. I will let you know a soon as I get a confirmation. I'm possitive that one of the two will facilitate us. Yeah, even if we don't make the deadline for NAAF, we can still have our meeting. I see that Ev wants to be involved. I also have another friend who has AA and wants to be involved also. It's gonna be another Desert Divas day!!! YAY

Hey Kelly, I am just wondering if you were getting involved in that book on Alopecia. I am interested in getting involved. Photos are needed and I guess it is preferable to get professional ones done but the deadline is the 25th of May. I was wondering if we were a group of people would it work out cheaper...or maybe someone knows someone who is willing to donate their photography skills...

Hey, I am pretty busy as well and I def do not have money to spend on prof. pictures. I guess I can ask someone to take them and if they are good enough BiBBy can use them. Otherwise it doesnt matter.

Hi Kelly,
I really like how your page is set up. I need to figure out how to make mine more personal. I can relate how you say "it's funny how God works". I see how His timing is right. I have had AU since I was 5. But I never got involved in any support until 2 years ago when I found out about the NAAF conference in Minneapolis. I prayed about going or not....my sister lives there and it would be a perfect opportunity to spend time with my sister and family and FINALLY meet others with alopecia. Well, it was a life changing experience. It had to be God's timing that it happened this way. I was so blessed. It helped me with acceptance of my AU. It has been a long journey.
Oh, I just love your puppy!

I will be at our next meeting. Do you think we will organize some kind of awareness event or fundraiser? That would get the word out for our group. We are already growing......

Well, Happy Belated Birthday!!!
((((Hugs)))) to you!!!
We got a new doggie. He is a maltese/shih tzu mix. He was a rescue dog and about 8 years old. My hubby named him George. He's a mellow guy and gets along with Peggy Sue and Emily. He looks similar to your doggie, just alot older.
Have a good weekend!

Hello Kelly,
I have had au for some time. It sounds like we both "got it" at about the same age, although I went au almost immediately. Oh the joy! I read through your blog about growing up with au and could totally identify. If possible, I would like to chat some time. Or at least exchange emails. I am not sure if you are on that often but I will watch.

Hi Kelly 37 was a great year for me. 45 is even better. A few more moans and groans but it's all good.

Stay cool with the AC. Most of my family is in Chandler and Mesa AZ. I'm planning a trip for the fall.

Hope your Birthday was Fab-u-lous!!!

Karina

Thanks Jenny...I have telogen effluvium and have little hair..I´m a bit depressed..I seldom go out with a pony taol and a hat..I bought a natural hair machine-made wig but it´s very rough at the front and hurts me a bit..How did you manage this issue?Did U immediately buy a wig?Do people know about this?

Jul 11, 2009
Karina

Thanks Jenny...to be honest your hair looks fantastic and your face is still attractive without it...In fact I believe that the inner beauty is what a real person reflects..You seem to be a very caring and sensitive person...I am also very clse to my parents and I have a crazy dog called "Mora" that goves to all her unconditional love.

Hello! Looks like we're neighbors! So, tell me, is anything planned for IAD? I didn't find anything going on so I've been rushing to get something started. I have a bit of hair left on my head and I'm contemplating (YIKES!) shaving it off on the 17th in honor of IAD. I've contacted the local media to try to get some coverage, but no word on that yet. If I'm brave and actually go through with it, I'll probably go to the barber shop at AZ Mills and then see if I can get the Glamour Shots store to take photos. AND have the t-shirt kiosk make IAD shirts. So if nothing else is going on... and you're interested... I could use some help! BUT - if something IS going on I'd rather jump on board and not 'compete' - if you know what I mean!

Thanks for adding me as a friend. Would like to meet you!
Til then,
Grace and Peace,
Pam~

Hi Kelly,
I missed the meetup at Denny's last Saturday. I started taking Zumba classes......they are so much fun!!!! The class is at 9:00am on Saturdays. I'm working on getting in shape and I found something different. I miss you and our Alopecia friends!!! Maybe we can try Saturday mid-afternoon??? Take Care,
Nancy
