It's March rigth now, and my twins are going to begin Knidergarten in August. I'm a stay at home mom, so they don't have a class or close peers right now, and I am completely nervous about Della beginning kindergarten. I don't want her to be teased. I have thought hard a trough about a wig, and finally we have decided to get her one, for the time being anyways. We do the styling on Thursday, and she is really excited, I am just not sure if I can handle it. All of the care and maintenance of a…

I had started writing a long, in depth exploration of several issues I have been thinking about since I joined Alopecia World over the weekend. My plan was to post it here, and for it to be insightful and interesting. It was going to include a social and psychological commentary on identity, beauty, and acceptance (or the struggle for it). I have the blog entry saved, and hope to rework it and post it at some point. I think it has potential :). But...it was simply taking too long to get out on…

5 years later, I can still remember every moment of the day I had my head shaved. From walking into the salon... watching it happen, getting that first look on the street and finally going home to my wife.
It was the start of my acceptance and the end of the old me. It was a great day and a horrible day.
The people that were there for me will never be forgotten.

Tonight, while putting Nnea to sleep, she asked me to stay and cuddle for a minute 'on her pillow'. I thought I'd share our conversation...
"Mom, can you stay a yiddle bit?"
"No, Sweetie. You need to go to sleep now."
"Pease? Just one cuddle on my pillow???" (??? denotes this little high pitched thing she does at the end of her questions)
"Alright. Just for a minute..."
"Sanks, Mom." Nnea then starts to caress my face and cheeks. She says…

Wow!!! What a great site! And how cool are social network sites! I think Alopecia World is using the same system that we just moved my company to www.CoCreatingOurReality.com. If any of you are following along with the New Earth book with Oprah and Eckhart Tolle you'll enjoy our site...come check it out when you get a chance!
But back to Alopecia World...this is awesome! What a great resource and place for people to meet, ask questions and feel a sense of community! I *LOVE* the…

Well, I am a writer of sorts, if you've been reading and browsing along this site. I have jumped into this site feet first and I feel more at home sharing things here regarding my hair loss than I have anywhere ever.
Normally I spend my weekends off work watching TV or reading books or cleaning house, but so far I have spent my ENTIRE Saturday on this site browsing, commenting, and welcoming everyone that I have seen! I keep a regular blog on blogger and MySpace, with MySpace…

I went on vacation. I was lucky. My Aunt put together a family reunion cruise. A cruise to Bermuda. A 5-day cruise. I roomed with my twin sister, which is an extra bonus - sister time together.
This was my first cruise. We boarded and went through customs, and met up in the dining room for lunch. It was served buffet style. I've never seen so much food in my life. I was sitting at the table as all of the family met up.
A table next to us, a large family with about 4…

I try real hard to share the adversity and understanding I have, for those who share the same condition as me...Alopecia!
I am proud to walk with my beautiful sleek look.
My son loves it!
HOWEVER...YES...THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR OPINIONS, JUDGEMENTS, AND PERCEPTIONS ON HOW WE MUST ACT AND FEEL.
I endeavor to help bring a compassionate understanding, of the adversity we all go through...yet the separation of different emotions always have to be evaluated.
This…
