Due to my rediculous work load this semester, I am just completely exhausted from writing so many papers. Good news for you is that you don't have to listen to me carry on about nonsense. As I mentioned in one of my previous blogs, music is my therapy. I cannot function without it. A particular song is what put me into such a spunky mood this morning (which have been few and far between lately): "I Choose" by India Arie. Absolutely inspirational. If you've never heard it, it is well worth the 99 cents on iTunes...or whatever the going rate for songs is now. Although it is not about someone dealing with Alopecia, it is about someone that is going through some tough times and decided that the world is not going to determine her identity...something we all, hopefully, strive for. The chorus just says it all: "I choose to be the best that I can be and I choose to be authentic in everything I do. My past don't dictate who I am. I choose." With that, have an awesome day everyone! I hope you do something courageous and are not ashamed of it! We are who we are, and we shouldn't have to change for anyone but ourselves!

Alex, you have grown into quite a woman since that little shy girl that I knew from being a volunteer at NAAF Kids Camp. It seems like the whole bunch of you have done so well. It bring me great joy to watch you guys grow.

Here is a link to your song for anyone who wants to listen. I agree Amazing song!

Thanks for sharing and thanking for choosing to be exactly who you are.
