Hair

For my whole life, I mean - MY WHOLE LIFE.....even when I was in the womb, my momma has had long long hair. It's one of those things about my mom that I will always - always relate to her.

Well, last week she went and got it cut. For the first time it is short. Here she is with it cut !!!!

The general feeling is that it LOOKS GREAT ! I have to agree. It really looks wonderful.

Anyway - we are coming up on two weeks of this site being here, and all of you donating and sending love and support our way. The end of the week I will put a total up and perhaps a goal. People said that setting a goal might be important, but I've been unable to really tune into setting a goal because I think I've been focused on acceptance and dealing with how very surreal this all feels.

I have observed a lot of differing responses when I talk to people about what is going on, all of it is always supportive. The thing with Breast Cancer though is that everyone has a story, everyone has their own loved one, friend or family member who has been touched by this.

And then you add the broader identification of Cancer and how different kinds of cancer touch everyone, it's overwhelming. It really blows my mind when I stop and think about it, mostly because I am sharing with everyone some very scary crap - which in turn opens a dialogue with others about what they have been through. I have heard some very sad things, some very beautiful things, and many many things that just make me shake me head in disbelief.

It's true that we are all super resilient, it is also true that we all draw inspiration from many different places.......I can tell you that I am still trying to sort through what it all means, but the inspiration and support I"ve gotten here, in emails, and in private conversations take. My. Breath. Away !!!
