always somewhere in the middle

when i was a teenager, each time i woke up and got ready in the mirror, i had less and less hair. my first solution was to close the shades on the window behind the mirror so that you could not see the light through my hair. but then that didnt work for long. then i started hanging a black towel behind my head as i got ready in the mirror, and the darkness of the towel tricked my eye into thinking my thin dark hair was full. that wasnt enough after a while either. i discovered the miracle of… Continue

Writers block:(

As much as writing is a healing process for me, and as much as writing makes me feel better, I find myself becoming victim more and more to that dreaded curse of the writer -- writer's block!!! Perhaps it is because I have so many thoughts running in my head that I hardly know where to start writing them down. I know sometimes I have a story laid out in my head, but by the time I can get to pen and paper or a keyboard to start writing it, I've forgotten what it was that captured my attention,… Continue

The life has to move on

When you're weary

Feeling small

When tears are in your eyes

I'll dry them all

I'm on your side

Oh..When times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down



When you're down and out

When you're on the street

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you



I'll take your part

When the darkness comes

And… Continue

Attending my first "Bald Girls Do Lunch" function in Arizona...

I just want to share an experience I had when attending a luncheon 6 months ago...I got a chance to meet 9 other beautiful women who shared the same condition I have...Alopecia.



Finally I got a chance to see someone of my likeness, some women came to the function without wigs and others had wigs on, but we still shared our stories and felt a sisterhood in our likeness.



I left that luncheon with the understanding of knowing:

We do have options and choices of what we… Continue

What happen...the first time I went to work BALD!

This is a story I had in a blog back in October of 2007, you will see as you read on I get pretty upset...



Well, I had been working up to this point of reviling my Baldness at work for about a month on my job. Trying to prepare folks on my job for the drastic change. I posted information about the "Bald Girls Do Lunch" in the company break room's bulletin board as well as showing the local newspaper articles that were going around about the luncheon that showed a picture of me in my… Continue

My story

I first discovered my bald spot during Christmas break while I was at my boyfriend's house. I was playing with my hair... I felt a bald spot at the back of my head but I had known it was there about 6 months prior. It didn't bother me because when I was in high school I had a small bald spot near my upper hairline, and it grew in. I just thought this other spot would grow in too. But that day I asked my boyfriend to check how big the spot was, and he told me it not loonie sized... more like a 6… Continue

The Right Time.

So I have this delima.... I've had alopecia since October of 2005. That's a little more than two & a half years now. Mines AA and pretty bad. I'd say I have maybe 25% of my hair left. I keep it cut short & hide it under my wigs. This has made huge changes in my life. I haven't been swimming at a pool or to the lake in almost two years. I did go to the beach once but was a nervouse wreck the whole time. I am a "Summer Girl" and used to do this stuff all the time. Since I figure my hair… Continue

A poem for little one....

I sat at work and and realize I am having a tougher time with her AA then she is... Is it wrong to be a parent who wants their child to get better? I wrote this to my child in hopes she will one day know what I felt as she went through this ordeal.





MOTHER’S LOVE





Everyday I fight to be the person she needs me to be

When deep inside I feel like I am dying

Lost in a world between life and reality

I sit and hope she is stronger than me

Forgetting about Alopecia!

It's really interesting, how easy it is becoming for me to forget about Tracey's alopecia! When he was first diagnosed 3 years ago, I couldn't think of anything else! I would look at him and see it, and always wonder what people thought when they would look at him as well. I remember being so sad for him that I would cry! Now, I just forget! My husband and I signed him up for Tae Kwon Do this week and forgot to inform his instructor of his alopecia. When we went for his second class, she pulled… Continue

Jealous of being bald??

Well, I haven't posted a blog yet, so I thought I'd share a story. I went to a tattoo parlor with my roommate today to get a piercing. I had been there once before (about a year ago) and the guy recognized me, but then again, how hard is it to not remember a bald girl? Anyways, being curious, he said "So, you don't have any body hair?" I was like, "no," and then preceded to tell him about alopecia and what it was. Needless to say, he had never heard of it (not many have), but was definitely… Continue
