Crazy times!

Lately I have been so overwhelmed with finals and work that I haven't really taken some time for myself.



Its like, we work so hard to find some things in life that we forget about the little things. I have definitely taken for granted some things lately but, with hard work comes success. Other times, when you work so hard for some things, others just happen to come along, and are given to you. This is an excellent example:…

Finally gonna get the help I need

In group therapy yesterday I promised to make a goal that was to walk my dog and I will keep to it as I have anxiety attacks so even if for 10 minutes I will accomplish it. And I don't give a damn who wants to stare at my hair piece( as my husband likes to all it, he says wig is too harsh)

When session was over I asked if I could also get a one on one counseling to help me over many hurtles in my life and already i've got that in motion so I'm excited to look forward to not only a new me… Continue

"Uncertainty"

As with most females, my hair looking attractive has always been important to me as far back as I can remember. Even as a young girl I didn't mind the discomfort of sleeping with a headful of pink styrofoam hair rollers if it meant I'd have pretty curls to show off at elementry school the next day. I loved my long hair and thought all girls were supposed to have long hair until I saw the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. I was eleven years old and now wanted my hair to be cut like a… Continue

Bald Pride Wall

OK Guys, get this, I made a Bald Pride Wall.

I took the one photo yesterday which I had put on my wall, and then I put up 2 more, with an index card that proudly declares in pink: "Bald Pride."

Bald Pride movement, here we come, people!

(Hey, if everyone else has a 'pride movement', why can't we?)

Ah, spring!?!

Spring is here or so they say. Those of us near the Great Lakes haven’t seen much in the way of the sun yet or warm weather for that matter. Just rain and lots of it. Nevertheless, my body somehow knows what time of year it is. Nothing new as it seems each winter brings re-growth, albeit less and less each year. Then along comes spring, complete with intense itching and the all too familiar shedding of winter’s growth. I don’t mind the loss of hair…it’s the itching that drives me… Continue

Going out of my mind

Today I am going out of my mind. I WANT MY HAIR BACK!!!!! I am tired of wearing the hats, the scarves, the wig, and the bandanas. I just want my hair to grow back. Today I almost left the house without anything covering my head. Thank God I noticed before I got in the car. I ran back in and put on the scarf. I have outfits that don't go with the hats and the scarves so I don't wear them. I am sick of this situation. My husband keeps telling me it's growing back, but I can't wait any more. I… Continue

Framing your face

Instead of worrying about hair which is framing or not framing your face...

Try framing your face!

Put a photo, in a frame, of your bold and beautiful bald self up on the wall.

I tried this out today.

So many times when I think of myself, in my head, I am wearing a wig. I decided to celebrate my true physical form by posting a photo of myself, without a wig, on my wall.

Another year in Montreal

We3ll... glad to say no hairs have ever tried growing on me heh heh! I have started a realtor's license course in downtown Montreal, and am working at a Mercedes-Benz dealership booking appointments for their clients, so that keeps me out of trouble pretty much throughout the whole week!

Weekends I head to a cottage about an hour east of the city and just relax, visit with neighbours and have drinks...

Then I had back to Montreal and do it all over again...

I haven't really done… Continue

You know what bugs me?

When my friends go on and on about how they "hate their hair today", or "how much trouble they are having with their hair". I sit there thinking "Really! You are actually going to tell me how much you "hate" your hair!" I know they don't mean anything by it, but it just really BUGS me!! Just thinking out loud:)

Arrgh, I'm a pirate

After my yoga class I stopped off at the grocery store. I wear a bandana when I work out and was still wearing it. A women and her child who was probably about 3 passed me at the end of one of the aisles and I heard the kid ask his mom "Is that a pirate?" I didn't hear his mothers response but I got a good chuckle out of that.

Cinderella moment

I had a job interview today with an employment agency. Mind you, I'd responded to an ad for a "Receptionist/Secretary Law Firm". Right up my alley. When I walked in I was shown to a desk where I was then given an insurmountable amount of paperwork to fill out. You would have thought I had bought a house. I removed my overcoat, my cap, exposing my Royal Baldness. The receptionist smiled. The others kept walking past where I was I guess to get a "sneak peak" at the tall bald headed one. No… Continue

A Big Secret?

I recently stumbled upon the F****a website, they sounded okay so I sent them an email through their site to find out more information about their wigs. Well, I was contacted by a rep in my city (they are based in the U.S. I am in Canada). She tells me she also has alopecia..yada yada and would like me to try their Gripper wig, tell her what shade and length I would like and she will have some ready for me to try on.



Due to where in the city she was located I commented back that now… Continue

Update on my screenplay

Hi all!!

So if any of you have seen I posted almost 2 years ago that a script I wrote about a girl with Alopecia helped me get picked to move in the competitive screenwriting program at the University of Michigan. Well the next semester Winter '10 I re-wrote what was at the time called Miss Michigan 1989. Through the semester I ended up changing the title of the script to Beauty Queen and with in my 2nd draft creating a new emotional relationship that pushed me to my emotional limits as a… Continue

Being open

my inlaws from italy came to visit along with my mother in law who lives in Toronto, I found the courage to pull out my laptop and show her my album called my secret world of alopecia(facebook) I showed her who I really looked like with no hair.

Yep...you found it!

A place to finally meet others with alopecia, in all its stages. Up or down, shy or bold, old or young, we are people all wanting to meet sincere folk and find a way to cope with or laugh about this strange condition.



If you haven't met an alopecian anywhere else in your world...this world will provide you with some answers. Just explore blogs, discussions, videos and groups...and make a few "friends" for the purpose of positive exchange. We are all in this together! : ) Just had to… Continue
