Today is day 4 of Bald life. Today is defiantly tough for me. First my daughter asked me to wear a scarf to her school. I agreed. When I got to the train station I decided I was not comfortable with it. So I took it off while she wasn’t looking. She did not notice for 2 minutes as we were talking about a picture and walking. The train came and she looked up at me and tears ran down her face. She asked , you’re not going to my school like that are you? I explained to her that I did not feel comfortable wearing a scarf and I just didn’t feel God was please with me personally for wearing it as if I hiding. You know like Moses with God takes the people out of bondage and they cry to go back.

I tried to hurry on the train, but she couldn’t or wouldn’t move. As I looked up , there on the pack train EVERYONE in that one car, even the conductor was staring at my bald head. The conductor looked out his train window with a smirk with a little laugh. Yes, in NYC!!! I was just amazed at how many stares I got. I had a audience! I would have gotten on the train smiling and happy if my daughter budged. I have never been an attention seeker, I avoid certain clothes and styles to avoid certain stares or comments, BUT BEING BALD TOOK ME OUT OF THAT!!!!

I realize that most people think I shave my head or got a “hair cut”. I got to many comments on my “hair cut” yesterday that I wanted to scream “ITS ALOPECIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Autoimmune Condition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT A HAIR CUT!!! One lady yesterday said, “Oh I like your hair cut!” I responded, “Thank you but it’s not a haircut

Well long story short I didn’t get on the train. I put my scarf on and waited for the next train. My daughter was still disturb she was shaking.

I don’t feel pretty today! But I came to realize I didn’t feel pretty all the time in my wigs either.


My head is freezing, and I have to walk someone to the cancer center !! I couldn’t find a hat for my cold head yet… Im freezing :) So today is a blah day for me! BUT I know that Jesus lives and I can face today, tomorrow and a bad “hair day”.

stay brave, you are a wonderful, beautiful woman. Your daughter will realize that staying true to the person you are is most important. Not what others are thinking. And by telling her that staying true to you is not hiding is giving her a great life lesson. Bad days happen but bad days pass and good days return. I wake up every morning and remind myself exactly that. Everyday is a bright new beginning. And try to keep that with me.
