Owning It!!
There comes a time when you just have to own who you truly are. Physical appearance has little to do with the inner person. While disruption in our physical appearance can cause anxiety and depression, you will always be you. Own it.

Waiting for White Hair Wisdom!
I hate when I have large gaps between posts. I hate that I think I have nothing to say. The fact is, I do have good ideas, helpful tips and deep thoughts. I sometimes allow grief laden thoughts to consume me. In my last post, I made the decision to slow the hair loss posts […]
Not Enough Hats!
There are not enough hats to hide under! I don’t know how to feel comfortable in public.
Curve balls of Life
No matter what our intentions and plans are, it most likely doesn’t go exactly as we expect. Sometimes our plan goes in the direction we plan but there are bumps along the way. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in having a dream or expectation die. Even the most successful people have had disappointments. Don’t […]

As the doctor stated, ‘my immune system went into overdrive fighting the infection along with the vaccine’, I ended up with a sinus […]
Update on Alopecia Areata Issue
The struggles are part of my story. My struggles teach me how to help others. As you might have read in my more recent three or four posts, I’m dealing with a few autoimmune dis-eases; one being Hashimoto’s and the other alopecia areata. Both are the result of a bad reaction to getting my first […]
Avoidance Doesn’t Make It Go Away
I’ve put off sharing the most recent advice the dermatologist gave me because it’s honestly hard to accept. Not taking action and not talking about it doesn’t make it go away though.
I am sharing my experience to possibly help someone else. I’m not a person that looks for attention or sympathy. I’m one that helps others. I’m one that tries to fix.
