~My Favorite Songs~

"Wake up, wake up, the sun cannot wait for long.
Reach out, reach out before it fades away.
You will find the warmth when you surrender.
Smile into the fear and let it play.

You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can’t be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause’ it’s all so close.

When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don’t understand.
My reason to be brave.

Hold on, hold on, so strong, time just carries on.
And all that you thought was wrong is pure again.
You can’t hide forever from the thunder.
Look into the storm and feel the rain."

- Brave by Josh Groban


"You’re a wonder, how bright you shine
A flickering candle in a short lifetime
A secret dreamer that never shows
If no one sees you then nobody knows
And all these words you were meant to say
Held in silence day after day
Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave
Please don't keep them hidden away

Sing it out so I can finally breathe in
I can take in all you say
Reaching out for someone I believe in
All I really need today"

-Josh Groban "Hidden Away" - Illuminations.

My Thoughts on AA

Posted on April 13, 2010 at 1:11pm 1 Comment

General Info.



-Had it since I was 3.

-Have never received any treatment whatsoever.

-Hair was very thin when I was diagnosed. And was expect to be completely bald by puberty. That didn't happen.

-Hair has only recently began falling out in a mass quantity.

-Haven't been to a derm. in 10 years.



So, keeping that in mind... I'm sort of caught off guard by my somewhat recent hair 'fallout'. I've always had thin hair, and a few bald spots that I could easily… Continue

Camp Discovery/Camp Knutson

"Where we learn the true meaning of strength and courage and where smiles, hugs and laughter, give hope to us all."

I'm going to chat a bit about my experiences at Camp Discovery/Camp Knutson in Crosslake, MN. I told a couple here on AW, and they recommend that I write a blog about it...to inform possibly parents or teens that want to go to the Camp or send their kids there.



"For young… Continue

Glad you got positive feedback on the facebook album! I guess your right about what else can they say, but I think people realize how strong you are. I dont think I could post an album of myself with no hair just yet! On the other hand, I go out a lot without it and all my friends have seen me bald numerous times. Funny how we are flip flopped on that!
