Okay, so it's only day 3 and I'm still floating on the pink cloud of empowerment. But I had fun in the shower today shaving my stubble instead of bemoaning the loss of hair. (I bought a Headshave and am slowly getting the hang of it.) Last night I went to my writer's group meeting and "flipped my wig" for them. I've sent pictures to lots of my family and closest friends and have gotten a really positive response. I love the feel of cool air on my head. I love my new wig but I love being without it as well. I am in a much freer space, and feel liberated. I can't make a decision for anyone else, but I can share my experience. It is great so far. Will keep you posted to see if the glow fades.

Nants, I think that you look GREAT! Your positive attitude is downright inspirational! Personally, I'm growing beyond being alopecian. I'm bald and that is just me and to hell with it. I do understand your glow and the stronger you get, the more your light will shine. Best regards, Jamie

As long as we're on emoticons, how about this one, which is how I sign emails now:

Congratulations, this is a great story, and I admire your positive outlook. I felt the same when I first went bald. Such a liberating experience.
