- About Me:
- Two weeks ago, I was informed about Alopecia World, so hesitant I decided that I needed to take this step and be surrounded by great supporters, motivators, and inspirational individuals.
Life is a challenge, as millions of people every day discover something about themselves they never anticipated. My day of discovery took place two months ago when my hair began to fall out, which I thought was a real indicator that I needed some balance in my life. Having experienced the same symptoms a year ago I figured it was that “Stressful time of year again”, I enrolled in more yoga classes, detox and finally nothing changed. After seeing a Dermatologist and three additional spots I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata.
I have a beautiful and supportive family with six gorgeous sisters and loving nieces and nephews. Since my diagnosis my Mother has shown great support. However, it's been difficult to understand or comprehend my situation. ( Will it progress stay the same, grow back, do treatment, don't do treatment, homeopathy)
Everyone recognizes that beauty is important except often they do not see themselves as attractive because their uniqueness and imperfections have not been reflected back to them. I' am struggling to understand my inner beauty, which has been lost during these last few months...
Struggling to heal myself, I went for cortisone injections to stimulate hair growth..When in the end, I was hurting myself emotionally... Soon I realised that beauty was intended to be about pleasure not pain..
The quaint old fashioned notion “Pain is Beauty, Beauty is Pain”, belongs to an era when beauty was simply based on physical attributes and not the inner beauty of an individual.
Everyone who has joined this website are beautiful, I know because I've read your stories, your struggles and most importantly I see it in your eyes and I feel it in your souls. In the end, our struggles and challenges are a mystery of beauty within ourselves... You've learned to deal with your struggles and assist others in the best of times.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in my eyes nothing is sexier then a confident ALOPECIAN!!!!
When you have a moment of sadness...How do you achieve the true beauty that comes from the inside? - Are you age 18 or older?
- Yes

I wish you all the best in your search for work in Alberta. It still seems to be booming so I'm sure you won't have too hard of a time finding something you like. Lethbridge is actually pretty far away from where I live (in Edmonton). I haven't been back there in forever, although I lived there when I was a small child. I knwo a lot of people who've gone to Uof L and loved it. I'd really like to keep in touch. cheers!
