Big Change

I spent the last 3 years growing my hair out so it would be long and healthy. Once I did, I decided it was time for a change (figures.) As I pondered which haircut I would choose, I remembered my friend who donated her hair to locks of love, so I looked up their website. Locks of Love is an organization where people donate their hair (10 inches or more.) That hair is made into a wig for a child with an illness that causes hair loss. I arrived at my hair appointment very nervous, my long hair was like my security blanket! They put my hair into a ponytail and snipped away. As I was getting my hair cut, one of the hair stylists approached me and said with tears in her eyes how happy she was that I was doing this, because as a child she had alopecia and lost all of her hair. This made me feel even better about what I was doing. I ended up cutting off around 11 inches, and I am so happy I did. There's a child out there who needs hair more than I do. :)
