Hi Sarah,
tanks for the info about the vaccum wig. never heard of it before. Is this make with synthetic or human hairs?
My first language is French. English is a second language for me.... so I'll ask for your indulgence: sometimes, it's hard for me to find the appropriate word/sentence to translate my thinking.
By the way, in adoption, the adoptive parents are the luckiest, not the children! I feel so blessed to be the mummy of these incredible, beautiful, smart and cute little girls ;-)

Hi Sarah,
Of course you can steal the prayer. I copied it from a website I found. I love it!!! I just love posting words of encouragement and making people smile. I am truly blessed just by having many friends like you.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty

Hi Sarah...sorry you have a cold...that stinks. I am doing ok..a little busy, but good! How are things with you?

Hi Sarah,
Nice meeting you! I see on your page that you've put a picture with snow....If you like snow, have you ever taught about moving to Montréal? We had 4 meter of snow this winter.... I still have a lot in my backyard ;-)
Becoming AU has been extremely hard. Now, after 6 years, I want to explore where this condition can take me..... I'm often making a parallel between the pain of infertility and the joy of adoption: for me, it is linked and I hope that alopecia will bring me as joy as the infertility did.
My husband and kids are also used to see me bald.... Since I've quit my work 2 years ago, I rarely wear my wig, most of the time, I'm wearing bandanas, scarfs or hats.
Tell me, what is a vaccuum wig?
Diane

Hi Sarah, sorry about the delay in replying. I am just slammed with school work - nothing new, it's just worse some days/weeks than others. Congrats on your decisionto go back in June. I was VERY nervous when I started last august - I graduated 10 years ago with my bachelors!! But it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. And as stressful as it is, I feel so at peace with my decision and LOVE my class content. So, go for it!!
Yes, I will come on the 3rd at 10:00. Any thought on things I should bring or prepare?

You Go Girl! Rock that Look!... You have perfect eyebrows!... I can never get mine just right... :)
Be free, it feels good! :)

Hello Sarah,
I Love, Love the new pics. I think they wrote the phrase "Bald is beautiful" for you!! I'm glad I inspired you, but you really don't need to ever hide that gorgeous dome of yours!! Chat soon, Love and Hugs, Dotty

BEAUTIFUL SKULL! :-D You can certainly carry off the bald look!!! I think I will take up on that challenge, I'll keep you posted when I've done the same!

oh wow -- I saw the pics just now, and the resemblance is freaky!!! It's a great look for you though, if I do say so myself -- I say let's show everyone how we make bald look GOOD!!! :)

and you are beautiful!

Hello my friend!!! I like this site...more people with Alopecia, less with the other conditions...I guess we have more in common here. Your eyebrows look awesome by the way!

Hello there,
I am a long time member on HerAlopecia and noticed that you made a page here to so I wanted to say Hi and welcome you. I haven't posted on HerAlopecia in a while and I am having trouble logging in, but admin is looking into it. Nice to see you and I hope your support group is a big success. Love, Dotty

Sarah, thanks for the kind words!! Your family is beautiful!! Funny enough, I see the resemblance!!! Soy Latina también, maybe that is it? I look forward to getting to know you better!!!

Sarah, thanks for you kind compliments! You have a beautiful family, its me thats envious of you! On the leather note, I would absolutely love to learn more about being a cobbler and shoe making, how nice it was for you to grow up with that craft in your house. I am carrying on family tradition and trying to keep this dying industry alive up here in Canada :-D So nice to put a face to the id. name! Keep up the hard work with school ~ my new friend :-D

Oh, I forgot to tell you...I live in Mesa also. :o)

Wow! You already have some great ideas. Fridays and Saturdays are actually good for me - we don't have classes on Fridays and of course, Sat. I study but can always take a break from that for a support group meeting.
I would be happy to share!! :o) Please keep me posted.

Hi Sarah, I see that Yvonne has offered to help, I might be able to help as well depending on the time commitment - being a grad student, I must give massive amounts of time to my schoolwork. My thought would be to contact NAAF first and see if they have a protocol or suggestions. We could go from there.

Hey there Sgomez,
I would love to help you get a support group together here in AZ, I attended the Bald Girls Do Lunch last October here and there is a need for a support group here, we don't have any active group in the Phoenix area...So let's get it started!

Hi Sgomez!
