I saw a newspaper article about this organization for cancer patients called Look Good...Feel Better. (I think that's a good motto for us, too!)

They have some very nice explanations about tying scarves on this page. Just click on the various "scarf" topics:

For those of you who don't know about it, International Alopecia Day is an annual event that got started right here on Alopecia World a couple of years ago.



It's a day to celebrate who we are, be proud, raise awareness among non-Alopecians, and connect with other people with hair loss. Here's the Group page where you can join:…

I wanted to post a short blog just to let you know that I didn't fall off the face of the earth, or abandon AW.

I recently had a wonderful experience. I was standing in a long line at customs at London's Heathrow Airport after a long flight from the US. We ended up in the midst of a plane load of people from Israel - I recognized the lilting Hebrew words. Ahead of me I saw a bald woman, about my age. As the line twisted back and forth around the rope barrier, she and I came face to face - I said hello. She didn't speak much English, and I know only a little Hebrew. I motioned toward her face and head…

Feeling down? I thought I'd post something to help.

Keep your chin up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm

Is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark



Walk…
