Letting go brought me joy today... letting go of my long, thick curly hair...making the decision to CHOP it off, almost as short as Blade's. I also let go of the feeling that "long hair makes me beautiful" or "long hair is more attractive" and the feeling of having to hide my facial features behind thick, fuzzy locks of curls. I let go of those feelings for many reasons. And I actually LOVED what it looked like afterwards. It isn't what's on the outside that makes me beautiful. My appearance does not make me who I am.

I finally let go for health reasons, for ease of care, the southern heat and humidity and to let go of things that pull my self-esteem down further.

I only wish my hair had been 'healthy enough' to give to Locks-of-Love.... but I'm sure that no one could have done anything with that fuzzy, brittle mess.

Now... no more pony tails on bad hair days!! and trust me, I've had "Pippy Long Stocking" mixed with Carrot Top kind of days!!
