When someone is struggling accepting alopecia is it a sign of something deeper.
Was the hair just a cover up of not accepting who they were before the hair loss?
If someone can accept who they are WITH hair, then why not WITHOUT? -----questions questions!!!
Accepting who you are is just that --Acceptance!
That shouldn't change. Also, if you can't accept who you are, then DO something about it! Change you're ways so that you CAN accept yourself.

Yesterday a wonderful young lady with alopecia was introduced to my life. She wasn't aware of the positive outlook to alopecia. After shedding the overpowering positive attitude of mine, there was a noticeable changes in her. Her eyes lit up, she smiled more, and I think I might have heard a chuckle here or there.

I am who I am and I love me! Yes, that may sound conceited to some, but trust me...its confidence!! :-)
I felt like my way of thinking was nothing special, but after seeing a small change in someone after a quick conversation reminded me that I have a purpose.

to keep it short -- it was gratifyingly magnificent!
