Okay, so Rapunzel is out of my league, but still my hair was really long. Yep, I said was. I seem to often get caught up in life, family, projects and lately I have felt the need to give back to society. Like many people I volunteer at my kids’ school, give to charities and my church, but I just wanted to do something… more. Something different. The holidays do this to me every year. I have been looking for a good cause, something that I could do and finally found it. Locks of Love, a charity that creates wigs for people with cancer or alopecia (you can also give to cancer patients through Pantene, I added some highlights last summer so Pantene couldn’t use my hair). Honestly I cried once when I cut bangs, I needed a higher purpose to take the 10 inch plunge. My brother-in-law has stage four cancer, this cause just fit for me perfectly.
It’ll take some getting used to. After my hair was cut my 5 year old, and total photo bomber, wrapped his arms around me and said, “Do you need a hug mom? You know, because you’re not very pretty anymore.” Kids always tell the truth. I hope there’s a little girl out there that will soon have a pony tail from me!
I hope you create something beautiful and give something beautiful today!
What a wonderful gift for a little one who otherwise would have no hair at all! I disagree with James! You are beautiful with or without the 10 inches! There is no question about that!
I should cut my hair more often so I can get all these great compliments! Ha! James is honest, that’s for sure 🙂 xoxox
Oh Sarah I think you are wonderful and I disagree with James. You are still very pretty and couldn’t be otherwise. I think this was a REAL sacrifice and for such a worthy cause! Surely someone will be blessed by your gift of love and service!
Thanks Naomi… I hope there is a little blond wig out there somewhere soon!
Go you!!! This is so awesome! And your hair is still long and you are still pretty! 😉
Thanks Carolynn! I’m missing the long hair… I missed the memo that said short hair actually has to be done every day. What is that!?!?!
I don’t like or trust Locks of Love. Your little guy is right. lol Long hair is beautiful, and he loved yours. Oh, isn’t it great to have kindergarten age children? I wish all of mine could go back to that age for one week!
