C'est Magnific.

Viola.  Hair is gone.  10" to Locks of Love and a Frenchy new cut. I, of course, look quite different.






This is when my hair grows out a bit.  I wanted to start short.

FOUND Fashion Show

Recently participated in a fashion for a new Vintage Shop called Found.  The girls that just opened the store are pretty fabulous:* Amy & Rachel*  A few shots from the show.  The Red Head is my friend Crystal...who looked ravishing, but took a mighty effort to undo the beehive.









We had already changed out so we missed all the fun shots in the street!

Hair Today. Gone Tomorrow.

Tres Corny. I know.  Tomorrow this whole mass of hair will be gone.  I am excited for it and anxious at the same time.  I am quite thrilled to be giving 10 inches of my hair to Locks of Love.    www.Locksof Love.org  I am very ready to be out with the old and in with the new.  It was nice while it lasted.

Conversations

Lately I have had a few key conversation.  They have been very revealing for me.  I am learning about confrontation.  Some things I have been learning about is what I believe and standards I keep to and how to interact with those around me in the most Christ honoring position.  I also heard in a message to "Hold to your convictions, but hold them humbly."  Be open to a different opinion and be open to changing mine if it isn't God best, but just more comfortable for me. Being open to what God is doing in others is what I want to be sensitive.  I have been growing into having courage to say what I feel God is putting on my heart with those I care about and learning to love despite differences of opinions.  I feel I have become closer to the persons that I have had a little bit raw confrontations with.  This does not come easy by me, but I haven't died from the experiences, although I am glad when they are done.  So hopefully with time these will get more frequent for me, so more of what I can't see can be revealed and hopefully made better!
