That's Awesome Janet!  I also recently started going out with nothing on my head, "commando" as my son calls it.  I was nervous at first but now it doesnt bother me at all!  I'm so glad your family and friends are supportive.  Thats so important!  Thanks for sharing!

I wish I was like you. I tried it many times but, I can't find the courage to do it yet!! So happy for you :)

Thanks for all your positive comments. I actually surprised myself some by going out bald, but also felt more comfortable in our surprisingly warm May weather. My mom was the first to encourage me to go "au natural" shortly after I lost all my hair. It was very hard to receive then and I would just cry and tell her she didn't understand the loss and grief I was feeling. Sadly, my mom passed away a few months ago before I had arrived at this decision...I am partly doing it in her memory and praying she is smiling down on me. Sign me "bald and blessed!"

That is awesome! You look great! How was it?  I remember when I first started and it was hard at first but then people get used to it. And it is now like I would feel strange covering up.  It is a powerful stance, because then nobody can find out or accidentally realize things about you.  Keep it up! You are doing it!!

That is so awesome! You go girl! It isn't so bad, is it. You are very brave. I wear wigs, scarves & hats, but I also go bald. I would probably go bald more often, but I get so cold without anything covering my head. Lol. Keep it up!

I still wear my wig to church and a hat to work, but now only because of the air conditioning. It is amazing...and a bit odd?...but I am finding my self-confidence growing as I venture out bald. I say "odd" because all my life I have had an issue with low self-esteem and confidence to just be me. Huh? God works in mysterious ways...smile
