Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

I feel as if this post is narcissistic but Sara Jane kept nudging me to do it, and I had to post better pictures of me than she did in her post!!!

Two days ago I made a drastic change. I cut off eleven inches of my hair (which looked like these pictures when I actually fixed my hair which i hate to admit was somewhat rare due to humidity undoing my efforts).

Now, my hair looks like this:


I should add that this is so newly cut that it is easy to fix and requires practically no work at all which may be a different story as it grows out. There's something about cutting hair and making a drastic change that provides somewhat of a release, and it does help with coping with some major change or heartbreak. Again, I want to stress that I do not believe in the slightest that any earthly thing will "solve problems" or make everything "all better", I know that all my tears and woes will be gone in heaven, and Jesus who loves me here and now will provide for my heart, soul, and body and never leave me...this a haircut, diet, new outfit, drug, relationship, whatever else cannot promise!

(My hair was still wet in these ponytails so that is why it looks so gross)
I'm mailing my hair to Locks of Love so that they can provide someone, generally an underprivileged child, who suffers from Alopecia, Leukemia, cancer treatments, etc with a wig made of real hair. They require a minimum of 10 inches of unbleached hair and it is totally painless to give. I highly recommend if you have long hair to donate! What's that you say? You have short hair and you want to help? Well, lucky for you even if you don't have long hair you can still help by making a donation to the cause which you can find more about on their website. I also encourage you to take a look at the gallery of recipients. Maybe it's because I was feeling emotional anyway, but the smiles on their little faces with their new hair nearly brought me to tears!

Also, I realize most of my pictures are crappy and as someone who can operate a manual camera...that is terribly embarrassing for me. However, my camera is NOT cooperating in the least by saying its newly charged batteries need to be changed and is preventing me from posting fabulous pictures of cool things.
