I haven't done one of these spf's in a while.
Let me reveal my new hairdo. 3 weeks ago I got the inkling to do something new with my hair. I needed style, something I could play with, have fun and be stylish as well. So I went in the bathroom and started hacking away with a pair of scissors. What I ended up with is a layered do that for a few days was a don't. I'm a hard person to satisify. Several days later after this picture was taken I went at the hair again and this time attacked the length; there went my dream of having a ponytail anytime soon. So three weeks later I'm enjoying the short hair. I've also been reading lots of *cough*gag* self help books and the one revelation I can say is that my hair does not define who I am. There is so much more that makes up me that hair is irrevelant. Yet I've put so much time, energy, thought into my hair. I made a big deal of my hair for the longest time. I've even had some weird alopecia areata (undiagnosed by a doctor of course but the closest I can come to an explanation of why I lost 2 dollar size patches of hair in the last year) issues with it the past year that I'm dealing with the best way I can. Thankfully it's growing back and no new patches have been seen.
I've had a rough go of it a couple weeks ago and I was sad as hell over who knows what. Most likely just feeling sorry for myself. Thankfully I can pep-talk myself into a new way of thinking. I am most often woefull that I am "alone" and not in a relationship. Yet when I sit and think about my life compared to the millions of other woman on this planet there is something I have that MANY women do not have in other countries. Freedom. I can make choices to do what I want, when I want, where I want, how I want and why I want and I don't need to answer to anyone! How fun is that?! It's amazing when I actually sit and think that I have so much going for me right now that I shouldn't wallow in self-pity when there really is nothing to be pitied for.
I'm learning to enjoy the moment and to embrace my uniqueness hairdo and all!

From the pic I think your new hairdo is quite fetching! Don't you just sometimes wish that shaving our heads would be the next big trend, that everyone would do it, and then we wouldn't have to worry about hairdos...not that I'm going to volunteer to be the one to do so anytime soon, haha, but you're right, our hair does not define us!
By the way, did my little doll quilt make it to your house? I was soooooo hoping it didn't get lost in the mail!
One of my daughters has the most beautiful, thick red hair ever. But she is never happier than when it is cut short! The summer of her junior year in high school while she was away working at a summer camp, she cut it all off to 1"! Since she has had a mullet, a mohawk and shaved it completely. None of it has changed who she is and she wasn't trying, just playing around with her hair and not worrying about what others thought. She is so secure that she just amazes me! I know I could never do that!
Just remember, the hair doesn't make the woman! You are beautiful because of what is inside, not on the outside!
love the new do! i've had hair issues lately too, but i'm trying not to care. trying.
Everyone has hair issues,dont feel alone .
From what I can see it looks just fine.
I am not easy when it comes to hair either, being a retired hairdresser I am not easy to please.
Best part is...... it grows back!!
Have a good weekend

Oh, I think it's cute! I've been wanting to cut my hair but I'm such a chicken. It's like a security blanket. I think I need to take a page out of your book and just do it.
Well from what I can see in the picture, I think that haircut really suits you! I think it's just human nature to want to look our best and worry about our hair, our weight, our shape, etc. but if you really think about it, you want others to like you for what's INSIDE, not what's on the outside!! You are indeed very lucky to have the freedom to do what you want, without anyone to answer to but yourself:-) I share the house with my husband but we don't spend time together except for meals so I'm mostly on my own all the time (unless I go away with Steve for a few days) so I know how you feel...sometimes the loneliness and the need to be held is unbearable but that's the way life is for me as well too!! xoxo
