Ch-ch-ch chia!

I'm a walking talking breathing chia pet! Except a very unpredictable one! You know this hair thing we all have going on sort of represents the spontaneity of life. That might be a too positive for words description, but hey! Today wasn't as hard as other days have been. But things can end and begin so fast! 3 weeks ago I had a full head of hair.. And now I'm rocking an old man comb over with some other hair randomly dispersed.. thank goodness for being an artsy kid, people don't look twice at… Continue

Giving a speech about alopecia at conference

I'm giving a speech at a Toastmaster Conference about my experience with alopecia. I've done one before at a club level and used a diagram to show the various types of alopecia but in a bigger venue I'm not sure the diagram would work well - not so intimate an atmosphere, on a stage etc. Part of the criteria of the speech is that it has to have a message. I'd love some input from you people as to how to get a message across and what that message could be. I suppose for me the message of… Continue

Reflections

Today, I am just reflecting on the little things in life. Sometimes, we are so busy with deadlines and due dates that we lose sight of what is important until it is all gone. The sad part is that once it’s gone it’s gone and who knows if we can ever have it back again. I would shy away because my hair didn’t just look right. Oh, how I wish I had stopped to take that picture. How many times did I roll up the windows because my hair was flapping all over the place? How I wish I could take that… Continue

I did it! It's gone! Whoo-hoo!

Yes I did it....Last night I took the plunge and a razor and shaved my head. Well I had some help from the 3 glasses of wine I had at supper when we celebrated our wedding anniversary! What do you know the world didn't end! I didn't have much hair left anyways and what I did have left was pure white.... I wish that stuff would fall out! Nope the "Granny hair" wants to stay.... Fine off you go with a razor! Strangely liberating....



Now the wig feels scratchy and awful on the top of my… Continue

Celebrating one month!

As I approach my one month anniversary of shaving my head (which is the 3rd of the month), I find myself asking a question. Will I allow myself to let my hair grow back in? I use a razor every other day or second day, and Im liking the feel and look of my bald head. I have spent so many months and years in hiding. Hiding the fact that I have alopecia, that Im tired of hiding. I read so many blogs from you wonderful people about the new "fuzz" growing back in and I feel your joy along with you.… Continue
